The 64th Mountain Troops Infantry Regiment ‘Galicia’ rendered a tribute to soldier Rubén Rangel Vizuete in the first anniversary of his death during a service on the 2nd of August, 2016 in Canfranc Estación (Huesca).

Presided over by Unit Chief, Colonel Fernando Maté, the ceremony recalled the unfortunate accident, consequence of a landslide during which work was being realized during climbing training in the Canteras Bajas area, which cost the life of soldier Rangel and also injuring five others with various lesions.

One year ago, in the Parade Field in “La Victoria” Barracks (Jaca), where they installed the funeral chapel, the then Minister of Defense Pedro Morenés, placed a posthumous Military Merit Cross, with yellow ribbon; together with the flag that covered the casket and the appropriate Mountain Beret was presented by Colonel Maté to the mother of the fallen soldier.

Soldier Rangel was placed in the Armed Forces in October of 2013 and “Galicia” was his first destination.  In 2015 he was deployed to Afghanistan and had received a NATO medal for his participation in said operation.
