Last Farewell To Major Killed In Iraq
SAN JUAN (EFE) — Combat friends of 39-year-old Major Ricardo Antonio Crocker
Garcia, who was killed in Iraq on May 26, formed a ceremonial honor guard at
Porta Coeli Funeral Home in Bayamon on Saturday.
Crocker Garcia’s remains would be buried at the Hato Tejas National Cemetery at
2:30 p.m.
The soldiers waited for family members to arrive from California, where Crocker
Garcia used to live with his mother Jeannette Garcia.
Crocker Garcia, who was a member of the Santa Monica Police Department, died
when his helicopter was shot down during a combat operation in Hadithah.
The major, whose mother is Puerto Rican, had left instructions saying he wanted
to be buried in Puerto Rico.
