Detective Feliu is among them.
"I was in the Army National Guard. I did six years in the National Guard. I spent some time in Kuwait, predominantly in Kuwait, and we were in and out of Iraq as well. I was reconnaissance we would go on patrol before the main convoys would go through, check for improvised explosive devices, avenues of attack, things like that," he said.
Detective Feliu said he dedicated six years serving our country.
