September 18, 20188 yr I hadn’t heard about this. So terrible. His photo just gives off the vibe of “great guy.”
September 19, 20188 yr Author I hadn’t heard about this. So terrible. His photo just gives off the vibe of “great guy.” He's a former Marine and a certified court bilingual translator. By all accounts that I've read and heard, he is an outstanding young man.
September 19, 20188 yr He's a former Marine and a certified court bilingual translator. By all accounts that I've read and heard, he is an outstanding young man. There is no such thing as a former Marine, right? Seriously, though, seeing this guy’s photo immediately put me in mind of one of my students who graduated back in 2016 and has been serving as a Marine ever since. Maybe that’s why I reacted so strongly to Deputy Morales’ photo. I pray for his recovery, along with the safety of “Corporal Daily.”

Yeah seeing how young he is and wearing a tan and black uniform like that, kinda got to me too. Our local Sheriff's Department wears a nearly identical uniform.
