We extend our most sincere condolences to the Juan Sablan Family.
He was a very decent, kind and God loving person. He always had smile on his face with kind words for his friends. I served with Chief Sablan for many years and I have the utmost respect for his service to our country. A First-Class Chief among Chiefs. May He Rest In Peace in the house of the Lord. GOD BLESS YOU CHIEF!
