Alejandro  A.  Dominguez

Alejandro A. Dominguez, 24

— Elia Dominguez, mother
Dominguez's mother refused to sign papers allowing her son to enlist early. His enlistment became official on his 18th birthday on Sept. 11, 2001. “He liked being in the middle of the action,” said his wife, recalling his phone calls from Iraq. “I was always petrified.”

Best friends growing up. Alex was like my brother. Always with his family or mine. Never a dull moment or a sad face when he was around. May you rest in piece, my true and only brother. Love you always, Miguel Osuna(JR)...

Alejandro took time to visit the kids at Cater Elementary. The kids loved to see him and visit with him. He was so tall and friendly. They thought that he was their hero...which he is!
God Bless!

I remember the day Alejandro came to Cater Elementary. Many of the children looked at him with an expression of awe on their faces. Brenda introduced me to him and I could see the face of a proud wife next to him. May he rest in peace. God bless you Brenda, baby Alexa and both families.

Alex and I became good friends when I moved into the neighborhood around eighth grade. We became very close and developed an awesome friendship. He became part of my family walking into my house at all hours unannouced, I enjoyed all the moments we got to spend together, all the summers at the pool and just growing up with him was a blessing. He was a caring and loving person. I remember when Alex and Brenda started dating, she was the first girl he's ever fallen for! I'm grateful to have had a great friend like him. Thanks for all the memories my family and I will miss you deeply. You and your family will be in my prayers.

I remember back in 11th grade I decided to play cupid and set up a blind date with my friend Brenda and Alex. He fell in love immediately! Well who wouldve thought they would end up married with the most beautiful baby girl. I know for a fact he devoted all his time to keep his family happy and made sure they had everything they needed. So glad to have been a part of your life. A great husband, father, and friend. May you rest in peace. We will miss you, and dont worry I WILL watch out for your girls. Love you always.

Hanging out at Southwest High, after school at Lil Vero's house, clubbing, those were the good old days that I will cherish and never forget. I know you loved your job, and thank you for defending our country. We all love you and miss you. I know you'll be watching over us.

Alex was an amazing person. I met him when I was in the sixth grade. He was a loving and caring person. It has been a while since I last spoke to him but I always thought of him like a big brother. Alex, you will forever be in my heart, I will miss you deeply. To his family, I am very sorry for your loss, he was and always will be a hero.

I live here in Killeen Tx..(Ft hood) I met Alex one week before he left to Iraq. I still occasionally see his wife and daughter. I am so sad to hear of this. I've been telling his wife often that his daughter looks so much like him.. I know he will live through her. My heart goes to the FAM and close friends of alex, as I know I wouldn't have seen him again till he came home. Im sorry for your loss,and may god be with all of you at this time.
