Army officer escapes violence of Juarez only to be murdered on his own base


One of the shooting victims of the Fort Hood massacre which now appears to be another instance of Muslim terrorism, was Maj. L. Eduardo Caraveo, 52. He grew up in the extremely violent city of Juarez, Mexico, and became a psychologist and by all accounts, a pillar of the community.

Maj. Caraveo spoke very little English when he arrived in the United States, but he quickly learned the language and worked his way through school at the University of Arizona, eventually earning his doctorate.

While still living in Arizona, Caraveo worked for Tucson Child Protective Services as a case worker for special needs children.

Caraveo moved to Woodbridge, VA and opened a private practice. Ten years ago, he also joined the National Guard, becoming a Medical Service Corps officer. He spent one year at Guantanamo Bay’s Camp X-Ray.
