I stopped into the Mann & Rogers Funeral home around 5 this afternoon to represent RTMA1 and pay my respects to the family of Pvt Jose Mendez. As I was leaving Mel & Carlos Arredondo arrived with food and drinks for the family. When I asked if they had always been friends they said No they are strangers but we understand their pain tonight. I turned atound and went back in with them. We made sure the little ones ate and then I stood in silence as the Rosary was recited beautifully in Spanish, I dont speak Spanish but tonight I didnt have to I somehow understood every word. The Mendez family is as loving and genuine as any I have ever know and very very sad. They have requested an escort from the Patriot Guard and RTMA1 I will be here at 8 am .
