You might remember his father, Carlos, the man in the cowboy hat who rushed to the aid of victims in the Boston Marathon bombing.

@votevets Carlos Arredondo was one of the many Gold Star Massachusetts family members to lose someone in Iraq.
His grief, upon notification of his son's death, was heartbreaking. He set himself on fire.

@votevets Then, I was working for Senator Kennedy, who was vehement about calling Massachusetts families in their grief. He himself came from a Gold Star family, and had a special bond with them.
I remember getting the notification of Alexander Arredondo's death. and the aftermath.

@votevets I cannot fathom the human lacks sympathy for families who received that notice & cannot bring themselves to understand why someone would put themselves in harms way.
But that human does not deserve to lead the men and women who are willing to risk their lives for us.
