MASCOTTE, Fla. — Mourners remembered Spec. Eric Ulysses Ramirez as one of his unit’s most valuable soldiers in Iraq and as a Star Wars fan who lived to be a “Jedi in his time.”
Ramirez, 31, was killed while on patrol near a prison about 30 miles west of Baghdad before dawn Feb. 12 when his California National Guard unit was attacked by small arms, rocket-propelled grenades and homemade explosive devices, the U.S. Army said.
“We see the price of freedom in front of us,” Lake County School Board member Jimmy Conner said Saturday at La Primera Iglesia Bautista de Mascotte, a bilingual Baptist church where Ramirez’s father serves as pastor.
