Laredo, TX – Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement in response to the death of Laredo native David Espinoza, a marine killed in the twin explosions at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan.
“Mr. Espinoza embodied the values of America: grit, dedication, service, and valor,” said Congressman Cuellar.“When he joined the military after high school, he did so with the intention of protecting our nation and demonstrating his selfless acts of service. I mourn him and all the fallen heroes in Afghanistan. My heart goes out to the Espinoza family in this extremely difficult time. The brave never die. Mr. Espinoza is a hero.”
Espinoza was a June 2019 graduate of Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) High School in Laredo. He is survived by his brother, mother, Elizabeth Holguin, and stepfather.
