LT V was my PL in 2011. He wrote my Purple Heart award in 10th mtn. I sat in many command briefings in Sanjaray Afghanistan with him. He’s a great leader, person, and fellow infantryman.

[@Triwjhd]

He was regular Army before Regiment?

Small world, I was at kandalay woth Charlie company. Hope all is well bro

Villanueva became my all-time favorite NFL player when during the whole BLM boycotting the national anthem thing when he had the courage to be the only Steelers player on the dress squad to stand at attention on the field during the anthem. I felt so proud of him for doing the right thing. He is the epitome of honor, integrity and service.

[@appalachiansapper12b64]

Life long Steelers fan and damn do I miss seeing him on the field. Thank you for your service to our country and for your time wearing the Black and Gold!!!

Im from Pittsburgh and this dude is a natural leader and good man ! Add on his military career and him not conforming to the narrative at the time wearing "A Cash" his fallen brother instead of George Floyd. Was super sad seeing him in a Raven uniform though

43:24 I have been saying that was the reason for the Army drought in wins against Navy for years. Alejandro is the first person I've ever heard, say the same thing and verify that the Navy academy recruiters were saying that too!
