Our family is praying that God hold the hearts of SGT Uruo's family, fellow soldiers, and friends during this difficult time. I was blessed in meeting this proud and brave young soldier in May 2006, he was called "mijo" which means son in spanish. SGT Uruo will never be forgotten, he will always be in our hearts because he is our hero. We send our condolences to SGT Uruo's mother and family.
