After Alex was killed in Iraq, my ex-wife told me that he didn't want to go back. Alex never shared that with me even though I guess I sensed it. I wouldn't have known what to tell him. If I had known about Courage to Resist, Alex might be alive today.

Carlos Arredondo's son Marine L/Cpl Alex Arrendondo was killed in action on August 25, 2004 in An Najaf, Iraq.

Carlos and his wife Mélida are founders of peopleunitedforpeace.org / elpueblounidoparalapaz.org
