When it came down to it, he was a softie. He was the first to start throwing Beanie Babies and soccer balls to the kids.

Although his father died when Silva was 4, he grew up surrounded by dozens of relatives in the San Diego County town of Chula Vista. Silva was an avid fast-pitch softball player, and his daughter Mariel, who was 12 years old when he died, is also a pitching whiz.

Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice so that the people in America can continue living free. There are alot of people in this country that have no clue, respect or honor for those like you that paid the ultimate price to live the way that we do in America. Living free is not free, it comes at a very high price. You payed that price for the Country you loved. Although I never knew you Alfredo, I thank you and honor you. God Bless you, Ronald Weber
