Army Sgt. Alphonso J. Montenegro II made sure to call his mother and arrange for flowers to be delivered on Mother’s Day. He called again on June 9, his 22nd birthday. He was thrilled that a package from home had arrived that very day.
“Candy and potato chips,” said his mother, Sandra Montenegro.
“He called to say thank you. He was so happy.”
Montenegro, of New York City, was killed June 21 by an explosive in Baghdad. He was assigned to Schweinfurt, Germany.
His mother still called him “Fofo.” “When he was little, he couldn’t say ‘Alphonso,’ He said, ‘Fofo,’ so we kept that name for him forever,” she said.
