Comment | [Ray Heltzel] Pruett and Barrios were quiet troopers and weren't the types that sought any glory. They were good hands and could always be counted on to carry their fair share of the load. Jim Pruett took a lot of pictures for me. He always had my back. This is the only picture of Barrios, he was a real quiet fella.

You guys held off the enemy while we dragged out our wounded at the cost of your lives .NO MAN HATH GREATER LOVE THEN TO LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. WORDS FROM THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, JESUS OF NAZARETH.]
