Words can never express how much my heart breaks for you.
My son was serving with Juan and was one of his friends. I feel that Juan is a part of my family because of the bond between he and my son.
To say that Juan is a hero is probably of little comfort for you now, but it is true.
He is the greatest example of
a true American hero.
May the Lord lift you up and comfort you in this time of need. You are in my prayers.
