Recuerdo que antes de las redes sociales, los insultos no se aguantaban y se resolvían a golpes en las calles. Ahora se esconden detrás de nombres ficticios para no sufrir las consecuencias. Ya me cansé. Me insultas, te bloqueo. Mejor me quedo hablando solo que con irrespetuosos – at San Juan, Puerto Rico

Today I am Remembering Aaron Merritt
12 years ago today, Aaron passed away at the VA hospital in Nashville, TN. He had been put on a medication that required regular blood work to monitor toxicity levels. Those tests were not done.
By the time he arrived at the VA hospital on 27 October 2014, it was already too late. He died the next day of sepsis. Had those tests occurred regularly, he would still be alive.
Merritt deployed multiple times in his Army Career, twice as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician. He was decorated twice for Valor.
He was my first team mate in EOD, and he taught me a lot. He kept me alive. When he finally exited the Army, we were all excited for him; Aaron was a magnet for combat. We were sure if he stuck around in the Army he would be killed in action.
Instead his death happened in the States, alone in a VA hospital room.
His family sued the VA. Although they never admitted to anything, they settled for 2.5 million dollars.
Aaron was a great dude with quick wit and a sharpe sense of humor.
He deserved better.

A Coffee Toast in Memory of our Brother, Senior Chief Petty Officer(SEAL) Chad Michael Wilkinson.
Lest we Forget.
On October 29, 2018, Chad took his life.
While approaching his 21st year active duty and experiencing multiple combat deployments, his body and his mind had taken too much.
Following his death, his family donated his brain to science and would later learn he suffered from interface astroglial scarring.
This scarring is similar to the more readily heard chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). However, interface astroglial scarring is specific to our veterans in that it doesn’t necessarily occur with physical contact or trauma but rather blast waves they are exposed to in both training and combat.
This scarring is makes its way into our military due to excessive exposure to blast wave injury experienced in both training and combat.

Today but in 2009 Army Spc. Adrian L. Avila took his last breath serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom from injuries sustained from a noncombat-related accident.
Fellow soldiers remember a great kid who would get excited about a car he had seen online or a gun he had just seen. But he was best known for going out at night and hunting scorpions to keep himself busy.

Eudaldo Baez Galib es testimonio de un tiempo ido en la política: honestidad, profundidad intelectual y curiosidad ideológica. Fue adelantado en ver y denunciar la obsolescencia de mucho en su partido y en el país y no dudo de tomar decisiones valientes. Buen viaje, jefe y amigo!

SHE WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD WHEN AUSCHWITZ STOLE HER CHILDHOOD. FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS, SHE ENDURED THE HORRORS OF JOSEF MENGELE’S EXPERIMENTS.
Her name was Lidia Maksymowicz.
At an age when a little girl should have been playing with dolls, holding her mother’s hand and discovering the wonders of childhood, Lidia was imprisoned behind the barbed wire of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Her family’s crime? Resisting the Nazis.
Her punishment? Eighteen months in a world where children were treated not as human beings, but as objects for medical experimentation.
Injections. Hunger. Disease. Terror.
And behind it all stood Josef Mengele, the Nazi doctor who turned innocent children into victims of unimaginable cruelty.
Imagine being three years old, surrounded by death, desperately searching for your mother’s face.
Her mother risked her life to visit her secretly, offering what little comfort and love she could in a place designed to destroy both.
When Auschwitz was liberated in January 1945, Lidia was alive. But her family was gone, and her mother was believed dead.
A Polish woman took the frightened little girl into her home.
The Nazis had stolen her childhood, but they had failed to steal her life.
Lidia survived to tell the world what happened behind those gates.
Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, including approximately 1.5 million children.
NEVER FORGET. NEVER AGAIN
