Miguel I'm so proud of you. You accomplish so much more than what you set out to do. You saved so many people and until this day they wont let your memory drift away. I'm humbled to have had you as a brother, mentor, father/mother figure. I have come to terms that my scars have scabbed over but they will never really be sealed. You can close your eyes to the things you wish not to see but you can't close your heart to the things you wish not to feel. I love you and I wont let myself forget your sacrifce. I love you.

I do not know you, Miguel, but you must have been special. As a mother of children I would grieve to have lost a son, so my sympathies to your mother and your family. My sympathies to your fellow army friends who mourn your passing too. May you rest in peace.
