[ernesto]

My Father was a Vetern - thank you Bolanos Brothers

[Mike]

These men are heroes and patriots. Their father was wise and honorable and I thank him for instilling such character in his children which I am sure will be passed on for generations.

I know thesed brothers and they are recognized nationally for all the work they do for our veterans. What a tremendous story of courage and willingness to give up their lives for our nation. Maybe this will dispel the myth that Mexican immigrants only come to take and not give back

[dademodog]

This story made me cry. They should make a movie about these guys. So everyone can see what real patriotism is about. Wow Mr. Roberts did a great job.

[eploverhater]

Awesome. Excellent Story.

[THANKS]

THANK YOU!
... and may America never lose sight of the heroic deeds and sacrifices our soldiers complete while at war, no matter what the politics of the war are.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Excellent story of brothers. All my three of my brothers and I are Vietnam Veterans and three of us retired from the USAF. I salute all of you. Your devotion, motivation and discipline are what the military standards are now. My brothers and I salute all "Our Brothers" who have worn and are wearing the military uniforms of our country.

God bless you all!!

[Edilene Barreira]

God willing, we are going to live in El Paso very soon and I hope one day I can say thank you in person. I'm an immigrant from Brazil and I'm very proud to be an American. Dios lo bendiga siempre!!

[Becky]

Thank you and God bless you all and your Mother in heaven!!!

Thank you very much for your service to our country. Nothing is more inspirational for El Pasoans who are serving today than a story such as this one. Gentelmen please sit back and accept all of our gratitude. You truly deserve it.

[Dario Rivas]

Great job guy, way to sacrifice for your country.

Your mom and dad deserve and I'm sure have a special place with Heavenly Father in heaven. There is nothing like being a good example to others, and your folks and you all are shining examples.
