I just saw you on 'Hornets Nest", a documentary on Amazon. I want to say thank you for your service & sacrifice. I have always supported our veterans. I fully understand what you all have been through. I have seen many film clips in the past however, watching this one, I felt as though I was on the ground, right along side with you. I also felt a helplessness. By the end of that hour & half, I felt as if I lost a brother I have known a lifetime. Sadness overcame me in a way that never had...

I remember my wife had made a Facebook page for me, within a few hours SFC Arrechaga contacted me as a friend along with a lot of other 2nd PLT, A CO, 2-327 IN Soldiers; he knew I was on my way to Afghanistan and we were looking forward to hopefully meeting up in JAF; the last words I wrote to him were keep your head down and God bless you!

To the family and friends of Sgt. 1st Class Ofren Arrechaga:
Remembering Ofren on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten.

My heart is filled with great sadness for you and your children. As you stated in your video, although you can't tell him you are proud of him, he knows you are as he knows we are all proud of him and his sacrifices. Many ask themselves, what makes a perfect man? In reality, the closest answer is... A great father, a great husband, an honest/truthful man, and a true hero. I never met a perfect man. You were truly blessed to have the only Perfect Man I have ever known to exist. My prayers...
