"Today is the anniversary of the death of Lance Corporal Jose Gutierrez. He was the first combat casualty in Iraq. Jose Gutierrez was a young man of 26. Father to his younger siblings. Loved the United States and dreamt of the things he would do in this country after serving in the Corps. A true patriot through and through.
Oh yeah, I forgot. He came here from Guatemala *ILLEGALLY*
I dedicate this to Charlie Daniels, Tom Tancredo, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Minutemen who, as their type claim, won their right to their opinions from the spilled blood of the men and women in uniform like Jose Gutierrez."
