R E S O L U T I O N
 
         WHEREAS, U.S. Army Major General Dana J. H. Pittard has
  rendered exceptional service both to his country and to his
  hometown of El Paso; and
         WHEREAS, Born and raised in the Sun City, Major General
  Pittard graduated in 1977 from Eastwood High School, where he was
  elected president of his class all four years; he went on to attend
  the United States Military Academy at West Point and to earn a
  master's degree from the School for Advanced Military Studies at
  the United States Army Command and General Staff College; after
  dedicated service stateside and overseas, he returned to El Paso in
  2010 to serve as post commander of Fort Bliss; and
         WHEREAS, Since taking up his present assignment, Major
  General Pittard has been committed to making Fort Bliss a premier
  national training center; to that end, he has introduced a new
  training model and nearly doubled the size of the training arena; he
  has also made mental and emotional health services and family and
  soldier support systems a top priority; and
         WHEREAS, During his tenure at Fort Bliss, this distinguished
  officer has overseen one of the largest expansions of any U.S.
  military base since World War II; in addition to increasing the
  training area, he has overseen the groundbreaking for a new
  hospital and the completion of Freedom Crossing, an entertainment
  district for soldiers and the public; he has also worked to promote
  energy efficiency and resource conservation, with the goal of
  making the base self-sufficient by 2018; and
         WHEREAS, Major General Pittard has been supported in all of
  his endeavors by a loving family; he has shared more than a
  quarter-century of marriage with his wife, Lucille, who has been
  actively involved in the life of the base, and he takes great pride
  in their two sons, Taylor and Jordan; and
         WHEREAS, Major General Dana Pittard has left an indelible
  mark on Fort Bliss and the wider community, and his fellow El
  Pasoans are justifiably proud of this accomplished native son; now,
  therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
  Legislature hereby honor U.S. Army Major General Dana J. H. Pittard
  for his service to Fort Bliss and the greater El Paso community and
  extend to him sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Major General Pittard as an expression of high regard
  by the Texas House of Representatives.
