In memory of Legionary Knight Kevin Parra Mejía, who died in Ceuta

Today we learned the sad news of the death of a soldier of the Spanish Army in the city of Ceuta.

The deceased is Legionnaire Kevin Parra Mejía, a member of the 2nd Legion Tercio "Duque de Alba". The Spanish Army has reported: "During a physical training session, he fainted and was immediately evacuated by ambulance to the University Hospital of Ceuta, where he later died."

According to El Faro de Ceuta, the deceased was a native of Bolivia and had recently joined the Legion. He died serving Spain, and that deserves the utmost respect.

My deepest condolences to the family and comrades of the deceased soldier. Grant him eternal rest, O Lord. Let perpetual light shine upon him. Rest in peace.

Honor demanded and they obeyed,
Duty required it and they complied with it;
With their blood the company was signed
With their efforts they made the country great.

They were big and strong, because they were
Faithful to the oath they swore.
That's why they fought like brave men,
And they died like heroes.

Dying for the country was his destiny,
Love Spain its eternal passion,
Serve in the Armies his vocation and fate.

They did not want to serve another Flag,
They did not want to walk another path,
They didn't know how to live any other way.
