Escalante en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/luis-d-santos/#c184981 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/luis-d-santos/#c184981 Santos was a great soldier. I tell people all the time that I wish I had a whole platoon of Santos's. He was just that good of a person. It's been 10 years now and still think about what a great person he was. To have such a impact on my life should tell you a lot. Santos always had a smile on his face and never let anything ruin his mood. Santos will always be in a special place in my life and I will always tell stories about him, so that he is never forgotten.

Do not let his spirit die to, live on knowing that it takes a lot to see your mistakes, forgive yourself as he would and emulate the qualities you admire so. God Bless you all!

I did some stupid things when i was in iraq, and in the army. I had a horrible outlook on life when i deployed there. Even before i left i was in a very bad place in my mind. Luis was one of the only friends that would just come and spend time with me when i would sit and drink myself into a coma. I went to Iraq assuming that it would be me that would not coming back. That was my goal. When this happened i was facing jail time still doing anything i could think of to end my life. It kills me still to this day that i could be so selfish when great people like him put everything aside and lose their lives. I miss you bro i wish more people had your heart and your spirit. The world would be a better place. Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:56:58 -0700
