My son Ernesto Ramirez Jr. was born November 11, 2004. Ernesto was healthy, energetic and kind. He never gave me any problems growing up. He enjoyed playing video games, fishing, camping and loved playing baseball. My son aspired to follow in his brother’s footsteps and join the air force to serve his country.
In late March 2020, like the rest of the world, we were scared and worried. We isolated and stayed indoors to protect ourselves. When the vaccine became available, I decided to vaccinate myself to protect my son since my job required me to have contact with the public.
