JUSTIFICATION:

Staff Sergeant David Textor served his nation in Iraq assigned to the
United States Army's Company A, 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group
(Airborne). Staff Sergeant Textor tragically lost his life in service to
our country on July 15, 2008 while conducting combat operations in
Mosul, Iraq. Staff Sergeant Textor began the Special Forces Qualifica-
tion Course in May 2005, and he earned the coveted "Green Beret" in
November 2006. Staff Sergeant Textor's awards and decorations include
the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart Medal, Meritorious Service Medal,
National Defense Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal with campaign
star, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, NCO Professional Develop-
ment Ribbon with Numeral "2" device, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas
Service Ribbon, Combat Infantryman Badge, Expert Infantryman Badge,
Parachutist Badge, Ranger Tab, and the Special Forces Tab.

Staff Sergeant Textor was a native of Chautauqua County and attended
Randolph Central High School where he competed in football, wrestling,
and track. The Chautauqua County Legislature has expressed its desire to
honor Staff Sergeant Textor. The Chautauqua County Legislature, by unan-
imous vote, adopted a formal resolution requesting this legislation.
The dedication of State Route 394 between the Town of Kennedy and the
Village of Falconer, is but one small way for this state to honor the
bravery, dedication and ultimate sacrifice of this brave American hero.
