Five memories of Ricardo Barraza
A true patriot, a funny dude and damn good Ranger...We all strived to follow his lead...
Rangers Lead The Way!
I served with Ricardo until October 2002. You couldn't find a better soldier or friend. Ricardo left this world doing what he loved to do. RLTW Ricky!!!
I Admire People Like Him Because They Sacrifice All To Serve And Protect Their Country For That I'm Thankful And I Hope To Become A RANGER One Day Soon.
This day is for you 2nd bat. brother. Words don't do it man. Your actions say everything. Thank you. RLTW
It was one of the greatest honors of my life to serve with Barraza.
RIP Ranger Blue Skies.
Rangers Lead The Way!
