Omar Vazquez

Lt. Omar Vazquez, age 25, of Fox Troop, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment out of Fort Hood, Tx., was killed after his convoy came in contact with an improvised explosive device on April 22, 2011.

Family members stated that he was a great man and always wanted to fight for his country.

Holy Mother, pray
for Omar
Omar Vazquez graduated from McCorristin Catholic High School, now Trenton Catholic Academy, in 2003. After a two-year stint at Mercer County Community College, Omar graduated from Rider University with a degree in history in 2007 and earned a master's degree in liberal studies from Rutgers-Camden in 2009.

He was deployed for his first tour of Iraq last August.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Omar Vazquez is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.  Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. Omar you will always be one of the dearest friends I have ever had. Memories of us paintballing and you at my wedding not to forget having you as my JC client and treating you to your first massage at Franklin Mills and lunches out ...... I'll miss you buddy !!!!!!
