LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Less than two years ago, Roy Velez got the worst news a father could get: His oldest son was dead, killed during combat in Iraq.The last thing Mr. Velez heard his son say was, "Daddy, I'll see you in August."
This week, his pain only deepened with news that his youngest son had died in Afghanistan.
Military officials notified the Velez family Tuesday of the death of Army Spc. Andrew Velez, 22. His brother, Army Cpl. Jose A. Velez, 23, died in November 2004 in Fallujah when his unit came under fire while clearing an enemy stronghold.
"I can't be angry. I feel like my heart's been pulled out," Roy Velez said Tuesday. "We've done what the Lord allowed us to do for our country."
No one can imagine what these parents must be going through. May God bless and comfort them as only He can do. If you're a praying person, these fine folks could surely use them. What incredible parents they are! Please read the rest of the article and please don't forget this family.
