Dianna M. Cool-Llorens – (2005)
Special Agent Dianna M. Cool-Llorens carried a passion for life and a spirit of love for humanity. Being of Spanish descent, Dianna traveled to Spain to study medicine and became a Doctor of Medicine and mastered the variety of Spanish dialects commonly related to geographic localities in Spain. Upon completion of her studies, Dianna returned to Ohio and began her medical career in the United States. In 2001, Dianna met Master Gunnery Sergeant Garcia of the United States Marine Corp when she enrolled in his defensive training for women class. Dianna asked Master Guns out for a date and upon his acceptance, they began what was to be a four-year relationship of mutual respect, trust, and laughter. As a survivor of breast cancer, Dianna had an outlook upon life that is rare among most human beings. Dianna looked for the joy and positive in all things that life brought to her. Dianna refused to let negativity enter her thinking, as each day was precious to her. Because of her positive outlook, and the many special gifts that she brought to the relationship, Master Guns experienced a love of a lifetime. Dianna loved art. Dianna was a painter. Dianna loved to dance. Dianna was a member of an Afro-Cuban dance troupe that traveled the East Coast in competitions. In 2003, Dianna became a Special Agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation specializing in medical fraud. In 2004, Dianna and Master Guns started to make plans to marry, purchase Harley-Davidson motorcycles and ride together. Dianna had hopes of adopting children and start a family when Master Guns returned from active duty in 2005. Dianna’s dreams were cut short when on October 9, 2004 when she succumbed to breast cancer. In January 2005 Master Guns left for active duty in Iraq.
Agent Lile became a member of both the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the Blue Star Mothers of America when her daughter – U.S.A.F. Staff Sergeant Jessica Rodriguez-Patten was first deployed to Saudi Arabia in “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, and continued with a second tour to Baghdad, Iraq in “Enduring Iraqi Freedom”. When SSgt Patten began to prepare for her return home from active duty, she put out a request to troops stationed in Iraq who wanted to continue to receive care packages from home to submit their names to her, which was forwarded on to Agent Lile. Friendships like the one with Master Guns’ have been the result of SSgt. Patten’s volunteerism efforts. Since that time, Master Guns and many other soldiers have purchased their first Harley-Davidson motorcycle while on active duty and are waiting to ride when they return home. Agent Lile contacted Ty Miller at San Diego Harley-Davidson requesting a couple t-shirts to be sent to the new Harley-Davison owners stationed Iraq; Ty Miller sent 83. When Master Guns learned about Agent Lile’s plans in organizing a Correctional Peace Officer Memorial Run, he asked if there could be any way that Dianna could be remembered at the event. In keeping a promise to a soldier who is dedicated to serving our community as a law enforcement agent and our country as a Marine, Dianna M. Cool-Llorens is being honored by the Correctional Peace Officers’ Memorial Run on May 20, 2006 (CPOMR). Agent Lile has received the blessing of Dianna’s family and staff at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Although Master Guns is in Iraq, he is here with us in spirit and honored that Dianna contributions to humanity has been remembered. Return home safe Master Guns; Dianna, you are loved.
