Anibal had just been assigned to our recon team. As all new soldiers arriving in Vietnam, he was quiet and low-key. Because of this, I did not know much about him. However, because he was part of our recon team, he was one of our brothers. He gave his life for his country and for us to be free. For that and his bravery, I will forever remember him in my prayers.
