In January of last year, 21 year old East Aurora High School graduate Miguel Villalon was killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. At the time it sent shockwaves through the community and made plain the tragedy of armed conflict. It has since come to pass that the United States has ended it's 20 year occupation of Afghanistan. This has been historic, yet for many in our shared American communities there has not been full closure. Good Morning Aurora had the opportunity to speak to a high school friend of Mr. Villalon's. It was our first chance to interview someone who had known a fallen Aurora. This is that story.
A very well written article from that time can be found here: https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/aurora-beacon-news/opinion/ct-abn-crosby-miguel-st-0115-20200114-i7d3k7yodbfclnnzxmarctikwu-story.html
