Another soldier, who grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, has been killed in Afghanistan, it was reported Friday.
PFC Diego Montoya, 20, who was born in McAllen and grew up in Mission, was killed while on duty, according to reports.
Montoya attended Veterans Memorial High School through his freshman year, then the family moved to San Antonio. His grandparents and other relatives still live in the Valley.

Wonder if he was any kin to Juan Montoya. Of el RRun RRun blog. Well, may he RIP.

20 years old that young man, wasn’t even started living a life, Barrack Hussein Obama, stop this crazy war, stop it NOW. We can’t afford to loose anymore children.
Wasn’t Barracks who started it. And the one who did is out riding his apaloosa on the range. Boots all full of horse manure. He didn’t have to step in it, but he did anyways. Probly sticks his fingers in it, and smells them when it’s “private”.

It was George W. Bush who started the war, now the time has come to stop this crazy war. 20 years olds dying, for what??? Thats empty deserted land, with nothing to offer.
Bring the boys home, lets get the economy going, and leave those God For gotten lands to be what they have been for years, Nothing.
I agree, it is time to end this war, both in Iraq and Afghanistan. Too many young people dead, those who might have really added something to this Valley, state and nation.
I am truly sorry for the family who just lost their son and grandson. I hope this gets over soon, but I have my doubts. Look how long we have been over there, too long.
My family and I will be praying for the parents and family of this young man, who gave his life for his country.
