County Commission honors local soldier’s valor
By Raul Garcia Jr. / Oct. 12, 2011
The Rio Grande lost two of its sons in the War on Terrorism in the month of September.
Army Sgt. Rodolfo Rodriguez Jr. of Pharr died September 14, 2011 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, of injuries sustained when insurgents attacked his unit.
Army Staff Sgt. Estevan Altamirano of Edcouch died in Tikrit, Iraq, serving his county in a non combat accident on September 18, 2011. His body was received by his family on September 27 in McAllen with a heros welcome.
Altamirano enlisted in the U.S. Army after graduating high school at Edcouch-Elsa in 1999.
His heros welcome was televised and showed the community coming together across Hidalgo County in honor of giving the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country.
