His fiance introduced me to him. I had met his fiance thru marineparents. She talked so much about him. They were truly in love. My husband was also deployed with him in the same unit. It hit hard when I found out. Felt so bad for his fiance and family. May he rest in peace. We honor you today and always.

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 Juan, I thank you and honor you. God Bless you, Ronald Weber PS.
