View all 10 ReflectionsRamon Villanueva Moro is my Great Uncle on my father's side. His father Antonio Villanueva was also a police officer. I never meet him, but my father (RIP) stated he was a kind and honorable person who was always willing to help others. I think my father a retired Major in the US Army joined the military to follow in his footsteps. Honored to see him here.
