Today our walk was dedicated in honor of:
Army Veteran SPC Luis E. Llamas Jr, Age 24 of Los Angeles, CA.
Died Nov. 9, 2019
He was put to rest on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2019 at the age of 24 years old. He graduated from Montebello High School and enlisted in the Army right after. Luis served proudly with the 82D Airborne Division in the United States Army and earned an honorable discharge for his honorable and faithful service to our great nation. He was in the Army reserve and also worked as a security officer for Beverly Hospital where he recently earned Employee of the Year. He was a student at Pasadena City College. This Fall of 2019 was his first semester in school as he had hopes of becoming a physical therapist.
Luis tragically died from serious injuries that he suffered in a motorcycle accident on Nov. 7, 2019.
We had a great 6.39 mile walk. We walked by the National Guard Armory and then made a stop by the 9\11 Memorial. We then headed up town to the War Memorial Park and back. We made a few stops along the way as you can see in our photo’s. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today and I want to thank all those who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero. We had 119 honks. Thank you.
Army Veteran SPC Luis E. Llamas Jr will not be forgotten !
Rest in peace my Brother in arms.
