My big brother, David Aldaco

My brother, David Aldaco, passed away on February 28, 2016, one day after our father's birthday. He died from cancer. David served in the U.S. Marines, and also served in Vietnam as a language interpreter, recon/sniper. Not too many people can say they could do this job. I want him to know that I am proud of him and his country is proud of him for his service. He deserves that credit. Our father got special permission to take photographs during his training at boot camp at Camp Pendleton. It was nice until we had to say goodbye when he left for Vietnam. It was such a blessing to have him return to us alive. All of us are proud of you David. I will miss you brother and always love you. Mom will too even though she can't tell you with her illness. Thank you for your service and all of those serving in the armed forces now and in the past. God bless all of you.
