ABOUT THE MISSION:
LCpl Ruben Velasco grew up in the West Covina area of So California and graduated from West Covina High School in 2016. He immediately joined the Marine Corps and had been serving in Australia.
He was on an Osprey helicopter with 25 other Marines that crashed as it was attempting to land on the back of an aircraft carrier. 23 Marines survived, LCpl Velasco was one of the 3 that did not.
Velasco has been posthumously promoted to Lance Corporal as a gesture of honor by the Corps, awarded for his good and faithful service to the Corps.
Ruben loved the Corps, he loved Australia, and he loved his friends and family. When at West Covina High he was a star football player and loved playing football.
NOTE: This mission posting is to facilitate your voluntary participation in honoring this American Hero. For those interested, and all are welcome, we will be accompanying the hero and his family from the airport to the mortuary. Please see the time table if you would like to participate. For those who would rather go directly to the mortuary, we will meet you there.
