Gold Star parents and lifelong law enforcement officers Alicia and Herman Lopez reflect on the life and service of their son, Cpl. Hunter Lopez, USMC.
"… there's men and women out there who signed that dotted line and wrote a check out for their lives. And some of those checks were cashed." "I think it's important for people to remember that they're not catchphrases. They're not, to us. They mean a great, great deal." "And I think it's important for people to remember that there's thousands and thousands of people that their lives have been forever changed because of what these brave men and women did, and in my opinion, above the call of duty."
