Army Pfc. Juan S. Restrepo,20, of Pembroke Pines, Fla.; was assigned to 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne), 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Vicenza, Italy; died July 22 in Korengal Valley, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit using small-arms fire. His mother, Marcela Pardo, named him after the classical composer Johann Sebastian Bach and she called him Sebastian. He has a younger brother, Pablo, and an older brother, Ivan. His best friend growing up was Jorge. They did everything together, from playing in a garage band and going to prom, to skateboarding and sparring. He was a self-taught guitarist, and was a soccer fanatic. He even toyed with the notion of playing professionally. He would swim laps outside in the dead of winter and do push-ups against a wall in the middle of a conversation. Being obsessive about his teeth, he would carry a toothbrush in his pocket, even in combat. His baby girl, Ariana, was born in 2006. He had been able to make it to her birth before being deployed. Juan's patrol was ambushed and he took two bullets to the neck. His buddies scrambled to rescue him, but he bled out on the medevac helicopter. Two months later his platoon built a new outpost where he had died and named it OP Restrepo. In April of 2010 all Americans were pulled out of the Korengal Valley area. Military leaders had concluded that holding posts like Restrepo weren't worth the cost in American lives. About 50 lives had been lost in that area in the 5 years. Juan Restrepo was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, National Defense Service Medal, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon, Basic Parachutist Badge and the Combat Medical Badge.
