The Star Spangled Salute is presented by

Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Army Veteran George Gonzalez.  George was an artilleryman, serving on a cannon crew, and an Iraq War Veteran.  After his service, he became a police officer and joined the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.  His life was one of service, said the White House Press Secretary. Tuesday, George was a victim of what to appears to be a random act of violence, and was killed while on duty outside the pentagon.  Rest easy George Gonzalez and THANK YOU for your service.
