WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the heartache felt
at the loss of U.S. Army Private Oscar Sauceda, Jr., of Del Rio, who
died while bravely serving his country on May 22, 2007, at the age
of 21; and
WHEREAS, Deployed to Iraq in February 2007, Private Sauceda
was assigned to the 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, "The Big Red
One," and was killed during combat operations in Baghdad; 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, Private Sauceda 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 81st Texas
Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of U.S. Army Private
Oscar Sauceda, Jr., and extend deepest sympathy to all those who
mourn his passing; 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
Private Oscar Sauceda, Jr.
