Kris “Tanto” Paronto, a former Army Ranger from the 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and a part of the CIA annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, reminds us what Memorial Day is about in his latest video.
As a veteran who served four years in the U.S. Army and an additional four years in the U.S. Army National Guard, Paronto understands the word “sacrifice,” and that there are many veterans throughout the course of American history that have died fighting for the freedoms that the people of the United States now possess.
“Starting Memorial Day Weekend, remember those that gave their lives in order to enable us to enjoy the freedom to live, love and laugh in the safety of our homes and communities… And for the Gold Star Families, God Bless you, and remember those you lost did not die in vain, but lived giving the ultimate sacrifice so their brothers and sisters could live themselves, and will always be remembered as heroes,” Paronto’s Facebook post reads.
