Roberto Rocha Jr. was an excellent son and brother. He was the first to die for our country during the Vietnam War from Brownsville, Texas. We are proud of his service to the military. "Bebe", as he was known to his family, will always be remembered by all who knew him. May God bless him and our great country. This is dedicated to him and all the military personnel who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

The Rocha family.
