I am especially touched that he fought for our country in Iraq even though his family, who had relatives still in the Middle East, were concerned about him fighting there, and even after Angelo began to question the wisdom of the Army's involvement there. His dedication is impressive. I have four children, ages 17-21, so they are all within two years of Angelo's age at his death; it breaks my heart to think of one so young making such a sacrifice. I will honor him especially every Memorial Day. Peace to those who knew and loved Angelo. Wed, 30 May 2018 06:29:50 -0700 T.

As we approach another Memorial Day, I ask that you please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your son; as he stood brave in the service of his country. As you surly know, most in the military are backed up by a family, and I submit my respect to your family's dedication to our country also. May God bless you and all you hold dear. T.

For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more" Sat, 14 Apr 2012 05:46:33 -0700 Elba Rivera on September 16, 2010 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/angelo-a-zawaydeh/#c38051 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/angelo-a-zawaydeh/#c38051 Thank you for your bravery.
