Apineru, died on July 2, 2007, at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, where he was being treated for traumatic brain injuries suffered May 15, 2005, when a roadside bomb exploded near his Humvee in Anbar province, west of Baghdad.
They called him the mayor of the hospital....If a new soldier moved into the hospital, my brother would make sure he was comfortable, like he worked there....He was speaking on behalf of injured soldiers and comforting them and their family. He didn't care about himself.
