An American Hero Has Fallen

Captain Rob Yllescas who was introduced to the blogging community by his wife Dena when she began blogging upon notification of his being wounded in Afghanistan has succumbed to his injuries.

Dena wrote yesterday afternoon:

Rob is with God now
Well, today Rob went to be with the Lord. Last night his ICP's went really high and they took him for another CT scan. The scan results were devastating. So, we decided to let him go Home. He went very painlessly and quickly. I don't know when his funeral will be but it will be in Nebraska in my hometown. I will let you all know the details when I get them. Thank so all so much for the thousands of prayers you sent for my husband. We now have an angel looking over us.

Captain Rob Yllescas was commander of B Troop, 6/4 Cav, 3rd Brigade, 1st ID and was injuried on October 28, 2008.

Rest in Peace Captain Yllescas.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Yllescas family.
