Lt. Col. (Ret.) Brian Birdwell is a native Texan, decorated military veteran and lifelong
conservative Republican currently representing Texas Senate District 22.
Brian is a native of Fort Worth, a resident of Granbury, and a 1984 graduate of Lamar University
in Beaumont, Texas. As the Distinguished Military Graduate of the Army ROTC program, Brian
was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant and served in numerous duty assignments. His
assignments included several training deployments and two operational deployments. In 1990, he
deployed to Operation Desert Shield /Desert Storm during the fast Gulf War, where he was
awarded the Bronze Star for Exceptional Meritorious Achievement. In 1998, he deployed to
Central America as the Joint Operations Officer for Joint Task Force Aguila to conduct
humanitarian operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch. At the time of the attack on the
Pentagon, Brian was serving on the Department of the Army staff as the military aide to the
Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management. He is a graduate of Command and
General Staff College and holds a Master of Public Administration from the University of
Missouri - Kansas City.
On September 11, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 77 was crashed just yards away from his
second floor Pentagon office, Brian was critically wounded and severely burned. Of the burns
that covered 60 percent of his body, nearly half were third degree in severity.
Today, following 39 operations, months of hospitalization and numerous skin grafts, Brian has
made a miraculous recovery. Despite physical limitations, he testifies not only to his physical
healing, but the ultimate miracle of grace through Christ. He was awarded the Purple Heart for
wounds received that day. Upon retirement in July 2004, he was awarded the Legion of Merit.
After his retirement from the Army, Brian and his wife Mel launched Face The Fire Ministries, a
non - profit organization that supports critical burn survivors and wounded servicemen and
women and their families. Together, Brian and Mel authored 'Refined by Fire: A Family's
Triumph of Love and Faith', which chronicles their life- changing ordeal. Brian has served as a
national speaker through Face the Fire Ministries, as well as WallBuilders, a pro- family
organization that presents America's religious, moral, and constitutional heritage. He has been a
guest on Fox News, the Today Show, the CBS Early Show, CNN, and has served as a panelist on
Scan Hannity's Great American Panel. In addition, Brian has been profiled in media outlets such
as the Washington Post, U.S. News & World Report and the Los Angeles Times.
A lifelong Republican, Birdwell was a featured speaker at the 2006 Republican State Convention
in San Antonio and was Keynote Speaker for the 2007 Texas State Presidential Straw Poll in Ft.
Worth. In June 2010, Brian was elected to the Texas State Senate in a special election. He was
then re- elected to serve a Rill term in the general election that November. Senator Birdwell
serves as the vice - chairman of the Higher Education committee, and as a member of the
Economic Development, Government Organization and Veteran Affairs committees.
Brian and Mel have been married for 23 years and they have one son, Matt, who is at student at
Texas Tech University. They attend Lakeside Baptist Church in Granbury.
