Ryan Tejada


Ryan Tejada is an example of why these men and women join the force. His dream was to be a marine but at that he was hoping he'd win his citizenship by serving the country. But he didn't even get that in return. He came from the Dominican Republic and went to George Washington High School. After he graduated he served 8 years as a Marine. "He was killed April 11 during combat operations against enemy forces in northeast Baghdad. " I see his family every morning before I get on the train. he lives on my block and everyday i pass by and look at his photo posted up in front of his building. Everyday I walk by and look up at the street sign and realize that although his name is on it and he's been recognized for his serving in the force. He's not here anymore and nothing can bring him back. After these men and women are killed someone shows up to their homes and brings home the bad news. For nothing ! We aren't out there fighting for freedom we're really out there fighting to fulfill the government with more wealth for their greediness.
