H.R. No. 2336
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 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.
