Strength, sympathy and prayers to the Ortiz family. I was very saddened to hear about the loss of Julian. Thank you for your son's service to our country! Julian, Cody and Tyler reminded me of the three musketeers as they finished up high school at Stratford and prepared to enter the service. Forever in those red USMC "T" shirts. They ran the Cooper River Bridge Run that last year of high school. They were highly motivated and I was so proud watching them make that turn from boys to men. These memories will remain.

Barbara Snow, Tyler's Mom
