Respecting Jose's Legacy: A Family’s tribute

Hello, this is Julian, Jose (Schmitty) Rodríguez-Schmidt's son. My dad was a hardworking man as he was a National Guard, Navy Officer, and Chief of Customs and Border Protection. He will always be the most disciplined man I've ever met in my life. He was determined to serve the country and extremely dedicated to this country's safety. I want my dad to be respected, and for him to rest in peace. Thanks for listening and anything helps.
