Every time I view an American Flag and reflect back on the great individuals I had the honor to work and serve with, Roberto comes to mind. His dedication and friendship will always bring a smile to my old Army face and the words "Mission Accomplished Sir' echoes in my mind. Rest in Peace my friend and see you again some day. Cpt.

SSG Sabater will forever be remembered! He brought so much joy to the 320th especially his Platoon (the 5th Platoon, "The Best of the Best")! He treated everyone with respect, even when they were on deserving. He treated us like family, which says a lot because I know how much he loved his familia! Gone too soon but forever in my thoughts!

Robertito mi primo. Fuiste tan especial que quizas nunca te diste cuenta que te amaran tanto. Naciste para tres cosas. Amar (a todos), Servir ( a todos) y sacarle una sonrisa al mas angustiado. Lo mas importante, amaste a Dios y a tu familia. Fortaleza para Sonia e hijas, a mi primo Ricardo y mi tia Tinin y demas familia. Les amo..
