About SPC Jose A. Velez of Apache Troop, 2-7 Cavalry keeps a watchful eye out for insurgents and provides cover for his fellow Soldiers during combat operations in Fallujah. SPC Velez was awarded the Sliver Star for his saving members of his squad during a firefight with insurgents on the 13 of Nov 2004.

This is one of the last photographs that I had taken of SPC Velez before he was killed in the battle for Fallujah. He will always be a Hero to me.

Chuck,
It is difficult for many of us to view and read about this sort of thing. But it should be seen.
and read.

Tracey,

Thank-you. Yes - I agree with you; the photo does look a lot better in B&W. I will now start looking at my images a little closer - to see if they look better in B&W verus Color.

Dave,

Thank-you. I had passed all my images that I had taken of him onto his unit - so that they could pass them onto his family.
