May God grant you peace during this time. PFC Sanchez paid the ultimate price during this war. My son is also part of the I-38 INF 4/2. I know Sanchez will be missed by him and the other members of the 4/2 still fighting this war.

To the family of Pfc Sanchez,
We never had the privalege of meeting Cedeno, but he bravely served with our son SSG Tom McFall. As you know, we share the pain of your loss, as our son went home to be with the Lord as well. We wish we could be at the service you have for him, to shake your hands in thanks for the sacrifice you and he have made to defend our freedom. May God bless you and comfort you, and give you a peace that surpasses all understanding. Know that you will one day see him again.
Love in Christ,
Tom and Sherry McFall
