         WHEREAS, The friends and family of U.S. Army Private First

  country during combat operations in Iraq as a member of B Company,

  typical all-American young man, he enjoyed sports and rock music;
  and
         WHEREAS, Time can never diminish the profound debt that
  Americans owe to Private Romero for the service he undertook and the
  sacrifice he rendered, and the thoughts and prayers of many go out

  and valor, and those who were privileged to know him will forever
  carry him close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 80th Texas
