Thank you Specialist 4 Santiago-Castillo for your exemplary courage under fire.

My dear Rey! I was only 8 years old when that tragic day when 2 officers came to tell my father, your uncle, of your passing. I can still remember the day and I will never forget. I just remember before going to war running to hug you and kiss you, you were so handsome, such a good son, nephew, brother, grandson and cousin. I still remember you, you used to call me "la muñeca de los ojos brujos" and I have never forgotten. Your mother, Tia Carmen suffered so much, she was never the same person after your passing. I know you are in heaven with your dear parents and grandparents but I want you to know you left a legacy of nephews, cousins and other family members that feel very proud and forever be very greatful for your service. Love you always, your cousin, Zulma

Dear Uncle:

I never got to meet you personally since I was born a few months after you left this world, but grndama always talk about you and all my family that knew you also said great things about how great you were, I am really honored to be named after you.

Love
Pablo Reinaldo
