Edinburg
man
killed in
Iraq
EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — A
34-year-old Army sergeant who
loved spending time with his fam
ily and dreamed of settling down
in his hometown died Wednesday
in Iraq, family members said.
Military officials told the
family that Sgt. Christopher
Ramirez of the 3rd Infantry
Division based in Fort Stewart,
Ga., died in an ambush.
“He did not want to be over
there,” said Cynthia Ramirez,
Ramirez’s sister-in-law. “He
only wanted to be there for his
troops, to lead his platoon. He
couldn’t let his comrades down.”
One of a family of 11 children,
Ramirez loved to come home to
see all his nieces and nephews.
“He loved spending time
with his family, loved being with
his brothers and nephews and
nieces,” Cynthia Ramirez said.
“He loved baseball games.
When he was home, almost
every day we had to do some
thing with him."
After graduating from Pharr
High School, Ramirez immedi
ately joined the military. He had
more than 12 years of military
experience and had served in
Kosovo and Desert Storm,
according to KRGV-TV.
He was looking forward to
ending his military career and
joining the U.S. Border Patrol.
He had been sav ing for a plot
of land and planned to build his
own house.
His term with the Army was
up in January, but the Department
of Defense extended his tour.
On Christmas Day during his
last leave he was told there was an
emergency and he had to return.
“Christmas Day, when he
had to go back, he was just quiet.
It wasn’t like him. It was silence,
it was nothing,” Cynthia
Ramirez said.
