H.R. No. 1638
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache felt
at the loss of U.S. Army Specialist Quincy J. Green of El Paso, who
died on June 2, 2008, at the age of 26; and
WHEREAS, Assigned to the 601st Aviation Support Battalion,
1st Combat Aviation Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, based in Fort
Riley, Kansas, Specialist Green lost his life while bravely serving
his country in Tikrit, Iraq; and
WHEREAS, Quincy Green graduated in 2001 from Orange Park High
School in Florida, where he endeared himself to others with his
optimism, energy, and sense of humor; he was a dedicated member of
the ROTC who often stayed up late prepping for Navy Junior ROTC
events, and he was beloved for his lively performances as the
school's mascot at football games; and
WHEREAS, Following in his brother's footsteps, this esteemed
young man enlisted in the army in 2003 and went on to become a
chaplain's assistant; he was on his first deployment to Iraq at the
time of his death; and
WHEREAS, Our state and nation are fortunate to have men and
women whose love for their country inspires them to take up military
service, yet the tragic death of this dedicated young man is a
sobering reminder of the cost of war; Specialist Green embodied the
highest ideals of the U.S. armed forces, and those who knew and
loved him will forever carry 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 U.S. Army Specialist
Quincy J. Green and extend sincere sympathy to the members of his
family: to his wife, Lori; to his daughters, Alanah and Kaitlyn; 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 Quincy
Green.
