|
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache felt |
|
|
at the loss of U.S. Army Reserve Corporal Dustin Ryan Brisky of |
|
|
Round Rock, who died on June 14, 2007, at the age of 26; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, A native of the Lone Star State, Corporal Brisky was |
|
|
born in Austin on June 8, 1981; he graduated from McNeil High School |
|
|
in 1999 and began his military tenure five years later; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In October 2006, this courageous young Texan |
|
|
volunteered to go to Iraq so that he could serve beside his fellow |
|
|
soldiers; he was mortally wounded while serving in Tallil, Iraq; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Americans owe a profound debt to our nation's |
|
|
servicemen and servicewomen, whose love for their country inspires |
|
|
them to take up military service, and their dedicated 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, Dustin Brisky inspired others with his fortitude, tenacity, |
|
|
and courage; although his death has left a void in the lives of his |
|
|
loved ones, they carry their memories of him close in their hearts; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of Corporal Dustin Ryan |
|
|
Brisky and extend deepest sympathy to the members of his family: to |
|
|
his mother and stepfather, Karen and Bob Baker; to his father, Bob |
|
|
Brisky; to his brother, Nicholas Baker; and to his other relatives |
|
|
and many friends; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for his family and that when the Texas House of |
|
|
Representatives adjourns this day, it do so in memory of U.S. Army |
|
|
Reserve Corporal Dustin Ryan Brisky. |
