WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache felt |
|
|
at the loss of U.S. Army National Guard Sergeant Steve Morin of |
|
|
Arlington, who died while bravely serving his country on September |

|
28, 2005, at the age of 34; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Assigned to the 111th Engineer Battalion, 36th |
|
|
Infantry Division, Texas Army National Guard, Sergeant Morin was |
|

killed when a roadside bomb detonated near the Humvee in which he |
|
|
was riding west of Umm Qasr, Iraq; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt to our nation's |
|
|
servicemen and servicewomen, whose courageous efforts and enormous |
|
|
sacrifices are deserving of their fellow citizens' deepest respect |
|
|
and gratitude; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Exemplifying the highest ideals of the U.S. armed |
|
|
forces, Steve Morin inspired others with his fortitude, tenacity, |
|
|
and courage; although his death leaves a void in the lives of his |
|
|
loved ones, they will forever carry memories of this heroic Texan |
|
|
close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas |
