The burdens of war are not borne equally. Thank you, Nic, for helping our community to see the supreme sacrifice made by this East Salinas family.
A debt is owed to the family of Vilmar Galarza Hernandez, a debt that cannot be repaid. May your photos and other expressions of sympathy in their home county, and beyond, provide even a small measure of comfort to Vilmar's family and friends.
