Sending my condolences to your wife, family and friends. Although I didn't know you, my parents were your neighbors in El Paso and I remember a time when my dad was in Iraq, it was late at night and my mom thought someone had broken into her house. You came to her house and checked out the property to see if all was safe. I live in California so I was greatful for your selfless actions. You put your own life on the line, day in and out to make sure we , as Americans, we as members of the human race were kept safe and that i will forever be greatful. From what I've heard about you, you touched many lives and are a special angel now who will watch over everyone from the heavens above.
