Torre was a great man and THE definition of a patriot. It's hard to fathom that he is gone and my heart goes out to his family. Thank you for making a sacrifice for our country that the majority of the population will never know or understand.
I knew Torre personally. He was my brother's best friend and roomate at West Point Military Academy. He was one of the funniest and down to earth guys I ever met. He was a soldier's soldier, and gave his life for this country and me. He will be missed. His impact in history is established. I thank God that I will see him again in eternity.
