CSM Barreras' grad pic from USASMA.

Can't log onto FB (or won't) from this location -- was he killed by friendly fire, Astan asshat turned rogue, or was he on an assault? If the latter -- a CSM on an assault -- wow.

RIP Cmd Sgt Maj Barreras....

Rest Peacefully, CSM.

A, don't have a lot of details, other than he was leading his men from the front. But agreed, if during an assault, wow! Not friendly fire, and no green on blue as far as I know.

No matter how he died... He was Ranger!
RIP CSM.

RIP warrior! Peace be with his family and friends

RIP. I'm at a Ranger buddies house who 1SG Bareras took under his wing as a private.

CSM Barreras was my squad leader in B/2/75. He set and maintained the standard every day.

Rest easy, see you at the ORP.

SGM's were a rare breed back in my day and you would never see one anywhere but behind a desk. Saying that Rangers lead the way is an understatement for this hero, rest easy CSM.

Rest easy CSM, RLTW.

RIP RANGER!
