José Mauricio Mena Puerto
January 26th, 1982 - November 30th, 2004
His last post to LiveJournal was on Thanksgiving night, 2004. After that, no word.
None of his LiveJournal friends knew until now that he died in Iraq. Nobody knew, apparently, because there was no story in an American paper that I was able to find. Not even his friends who commented in his journal knew.
But now we know. As per LiveJournal tradition, I hope that his last post becomes a memorial to him, and that those who knew him never have to ask what happenned to José. It's the least we can do, really.
