On today, the 5th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but the state of Iowa and our Country as well when you served with the IAARNG as a member of the 34th “Red Bull” Infantry Division. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

On behalf of my family, I extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when Carlos was killed.

To the Puente-Morales family, fellow officers, and all who call Carlos beloved, my heart goes out to all of you and may you find comfort in your loved ones and your strength in your faith. When my son was killed, the entire law enforcement community in our area embraced us in a circle of love and support, and I know you will receive the same support. It makes the unbearable less torturous, and I pray for your solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the dedicated service Officer Puente-Morales gave to his community and the citizens of Iowa, and for the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on March 26, 2016.
