Two brothers who dedicated their lives to serving this country were honored at the Galveston VFW Saturday by an organization devoted to remembering fallen soldiers.
“Honor and Remember” said its mission is to recognize the sacrifice of America’s military. The group wants Congress to adopt a national remembrance flag. They travel the country, presenting personalized flags to families who have lost those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice.
Specialist Robert Arsiaga and his younger brother, Sergeant Jeremy Arsiaga, did just that.
Robert was in the U.S. Army when he was killed in combat on April 4, 2004 in Sadr City, Iraq. He was 25 years old.
Jeremy died 11 years later on September 4, 2015 after struggling with PTSD and depression. He was 31 years old and took his life two days before his 32nd birthday.
