Namesake
As a kid living in Robstown, where I still live to this day, I always wondered who the namesake for Ruben Chavez rd was. I grew up on Elizabeth st.
Several years ago my wife and I went to DC to see my son who was working up there at the time.
I went to see your name on the wall and to finally meet you.
Thank you Ruben! Rest in peace!

Never forgotten, Ruben Chavez,
I was a student at St. Anthony's Catholic School and a classmate of Ruben's younger brother. I do not recall his brothers name but remember vividly the day news came of Ruben's death in battle. I believe we were in 1st or 2nd grade but as a classmate of Ruben's brother I too felt a deep sadness for the loss, thank you Ruben, I am know 65 years old, I have been to the wall in DC, specifically to find your name and touch that wall. Every year your name comes to mind on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Thank You for the. ultimate sacrifice.
