ALEX
JIMENEZ
Since the very first edition
of The Valley Patriot in March of 2004,
this space has been reserved for honoring
local veterans who have either performed
heroically in battle or made a
significant difference in their
community.
This month we honor Spc. Alex Jimenez of
Lawrence whose remains were found last
month in Iraq after a 15 month search for
the captured soldier.
Jimenez is the second veteran to be
honored posthumously as a Valley Patriot
of the Month. His bravery and his service
to the United States Army, his famly and
community are a model of patriotism
for young people across the country.
The death of Alex Jimenez brought an
entire community together in sorrow and
healing.
We at The Valley Patriot continue to pray
for the friends, family and fellow
military men and women who served with
Alex in Iraq.
He is a true American hero and we only
hope that the cowards who took his life
receive the justice they deserve.
