Our life long friend and inspiration.................
Left this earth while living his life being the amazing man he was, base jumping in The Eiger Mushroom in Switzerland.
 |
He was Hectors Capt several years ago and they served together in Iraq. They brought the town of Anah to peace and made life long friends with each other and the people of Iraq. |
 |
This was him in Norway a few days before. After the month of leave he was on, he was going to be stationed in Virginia. We already had plans for him to come down to visit. I hadn't seen him in a while and was so excited.
And then, I went on his facebook to send him a message..........
A R.I.P was posted. Hector and I will miss him so much.
Below are the picture of his memorial at Arlington National Cemetery.

  |
| This was the procession.... The police were amazing. The freeway was completely shut down for use to travel from the funeral home to Arlington. This was the longest precession I've ever seen, and we weren't even at the very back of the line. It was complete with escorts and a motorcycle motorcade at the back. |

Hector and Major Graczyk |
 |
| This is the group of motorcylce guys that followed our percession. There is a whole group that does this for military members when they pass away. They stood there the entire funeral and they hand water handy for guest that got over heated and washclothes with cold water as well, so sweet |

| The lovely woman was being escorted by at the end of the ceremony. The group looked like a memory walking through our present. |
 |
| And our kiddos. They dont remember meeting Jeremy, but they will never forget bidding him farewell |
