Joshua was born in Okinawa Japan on Easter Sunday. He grew to be a wonderful man. My life is forever changes. My heart will always be heavy with the loss of my son. I'm waiting for the day I can see you again in heaven. Mom loves and misses you so much Bear!
Sgt. Ralph Porras
Ralph swam in the water when a boy,
He played games with friends and favorite toys.
These boyhood years quickly flew,
His courage and strength would see him through.
From boy to man he became,
Then 9-11 called his name.
