WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Dan Sheperd for his exemplary service to the nation as
a member of the United States Army; and
WHEREAS, Dan Sheperd served in the 82nd Airborne Division
in both Afghanistan and Iraq, joining the long tradition of those
who have bravely and selflessly served the nation in this

injured numerous times while fighting for our nation and its
democratic ideals; he sustained shrapnel wounds, multiple

explosive devices; and
WHEREAS, Our state and nation are fortunate to have young
men and women whose love of country compels them to take up
military service, and it is truly fitting that Dan Sheperd be
recognized for his service and sacrifice; now, therefore, be it
