THE WALL OF FACES

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.

my mother was a Chavez , Jesusa Chavez from Robstown her cousin was ruben chavez father albino also a WW2 vet, as was my uncle Candido Castro , I am pround of my past blood .

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Michael Hinojosa is moving. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace PFC. Chavez, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

On the remembrance of your 80th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.
