In Iraq for 365

About my experiences in Iraq... the frustrations, the missions and this country... and the journey home

Meet Spc. Jose L. Ruiz, a husky kid from New York, who was killed Monday during a driveby. Today, as you read your news, you might see a mention of Ruiz at the bottom of the page. But let me tell you, he was a great soldier. He belonged to the same squad as T & Mitts, who were killed in November. My prayers are with the Ruiz family... your shy teddy bear will always be remembered.

I have known Ruiz for about 8 months now. He was sweet, funny and is someone that I will never forget. I didnt know about him until i saw his picture on this website. Thank you.

Thanks for remembering a fallen hero. Ruiz served in my son's unit from Ft. Lewis, WA. Tragically for Ruiz's family, the unit is scheduled to complete their Tour of Duty and return to the states in only 5-6 weeks. Ruiz now flies alongside 1Lt Nainoa Hoe (My son's platoon leader who was killed by a sniper shooting from a mosque tower in January. Hoe was handing out election location leaflets to Iraqi civilians) and the other chosen angels who are watching over all our soldiers.

Members serving in the military generally have a better chance at getting unsecured small business loans than civillians do. But even military memebers make mistakes with their credit; and this is where alternative funding and secured loans come in very helpful.
