RESOLUTION
Honoring
the life and memory of Sergeant Brock Henry Chavers, Sr.; and for other
purposes.
WHEREAS,
our nation's security continues to rely on patriotic men and women who put their
personal lives on hold in order to place themselves in harm's way to protect the
freedoms that all United States citizens cherish; and
WHEREAS,
the United States recently lost one of its finest and most distinguished
citizens in the untimely passing of Sergeant Brock Henry Chavers, Sr., on July
6, 2009, when he was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan;
and
WHEREAS,
Sergeant Chavers was born on July 18, 1986, in Statesboro, Georgia, the beloved
son of Loice Washington and Jimmy Chavers; and
WHEREAS,
a 2002 graduate of Portal High School, Sergeant Chavers served as a guardian of
this nation's freedom and liberty for nearly seven years in the Georgia National
Guard with the Americus Company D, 2nd Battalion, 121 Infantry; and
WHEREAS,
a resident of Portal, Georgia, Sergeant Chavers was a member of Pine Grove
Holiness Church and leaves behind many who will cherish his memory and stand
proud of his service to this nation, including his wife, Minnie, his son, Brock,
his stepdaughter, Tamecia, his parents, and his seven siblings; and
WHEREAS,
the untimely passing of this American hero leaves an unfillable void in the
hearts and lives of his family and friends; and
WHEREAS,
Sergeant Chavers embodied the spirit of service, willing to find meaning in
something greater than himself, and it is abundantly fitting and proper that the
outstanding accomplishments of this remarkable and distinguished American be
recognized appropriately.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body express their deepest and most sincere regret at the passing of Sergeant Brock Henry Chavers, Sr.; commend his efficient, effective, unselfish, and dedicated public service to the citizens of his country; and extend to his family their most profound appreciation for all members of the United States military who stand ever ready to lay the ultimate sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
