Please continue to pray for this family. They have such grace in this situation. Roy Velez has told media he is simultaneously heartbroken at this death but grateful that God provided his boys the opportunity to serve their country and elated that they are reunited and with their Lord.

I just contacted the local TV station to ask about an address (PO Box or e-mail) to which we can send our condolences. I'll post any info I get.

Mis apologías. I didn't see this or the previous thread on the Velez brothers yesterday or day before.

I saw their dad on TV here yesterday (Thu) and then posted a small note from an AP story on a military thread. It wasn't the right place to post it (happy, celebratory anniversary thread) and they suggested I start a new thread about it.

I searched Velez and some other WOT keywords and nothing came up, so I started a new thread. Again, I'm sorry.

I also made a Light-A-Candle page for them - "Velez Family - Patriots" and sent the link to the Avalanche-Journal so someone might print the messages for the family when they can read them.

Please go here to visit and leave a good word or just light a candle. Thanks.

Here are the other threads on them - all equally heart-wrenching:
