Today being Veterans Day or Remembrance Day in honor of fallen heroes during the various wars, it would be appropriate for Goans to celebrate the life of one of such person. Great grandson of Dr Jose Inacio Loyola of the Loyola Furtados of Orlim mentioned in today's Goan Voice column, Alvaro joined the British Indian Army in the Medical Service (like Goanetter Valmiki Faleiro's father) and was decorated with the Burma Campaign Medal and the War Medal. An avid patriot from a long ancestry of Goan partriots, you can read about him in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvaro_de_Loyola_Furtado Roland. Toronto.
