	H.R. No. 349



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at
	the death of U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Christopher Shawn Baltazar,
	Jr., of San Antonio, who lost his life while serving his country in
	Afghanistan on September 3, 2009, at the age of 19; and
	WHEREAS, A native of New York state, Christopher Baltazar was
	born on September 23, 1989; he relocated to the Alamo City in the
	sixth grade and attended Judson High School, where he was a valued
	member of the JROTC; following in the footsteps of his mother, he
	joined the military after earning his diploma; and
	WHEREAS, This esteemed young man delighted in making others
	smile; devoted to his Christian faith, he was an active member of
	Cornerstone Church; 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 exemplary Marine is a sobering
	reminder of the cost of war; Lance Corporal Baltazar 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 82nd Texas
	Legislature hereby pay tribute to the life of U.S. Marine Lance
	Corporal Christopher Shawn Baltazar, Jr., and extend deepest
	sympathy to the members of his family: to his mother, U.S. Army
	Staff Sergeant Beatriz Alberts; to his brother and sister; to his
	stepbrothers; and 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
	Christopher Shawn Baltazar, Jr.

	McClendon
