you are right in that if he had cashed the checks he would have had serious problems later, BUT the fact he went out of his way to return them is a character issue, not a legal issue. He could have just let them sit in a drawer, or marked them RTS, etc.
You do see the difference?

I thinks of the old adage: true character is shown when no one is watching you. And some people's character shines when they do the right thing especially when it is their own disadvantage. This is the kind of person God wants near His holy mountain and to serve in the precincts of His Temple.

"I was defrauded in a business transaction so I wondered if there are still honest people."
Honest people sometimes just can't understand others being dishonest. Unfortunately there are lots of scumbags out there. I lost quite a sum myself because of someone I thought was a friend. I learned an important lesson from that.

Carlos G., may, in a small way fill the void in Carlos M life from the loss of his hero son Army Pfc. Kenny Rojas. I must admit that this story made tears come to my eyes.
It reminds us once again, that God indeed moves in mysterious ways.
God Bless Kenny..and the two Carlos.

The "Rojas" genetic code seems to include such personality traits as honesty, courage, and human decency.

So did I. I learned an expensive lesson about being defrauded by someone I thought would do what he said and instead took money he wasn't entitled to and absconded with it. I'll be more careful who I deal with in the future. As a crime victim, I feel like I lost something and its not the money. I can't understand either how some people can take pleasure in harming others without a second thought. So reading this has shown me that doing good is its own reward and as long as God lives, I will do right all my life because that's how I was raised up as a man. I did right by the other person and a great wrong was done to me. I trust my God to recompense me in the fullest measure of time.

He was raised by wonderful parents. I hope his employer and co-workers see what a rare person they have among them. We rarely see people living up to their God-given potential and this is what makes it so special. And I like I said, I hope his good deed follows him all life. God will see to it that his
mitzvah will be repaid.

I agree that this is a great thing that the younger Mr. Rojas has done. As for the Servicemen's Insurance Group apology letter, I envision something like this:
Dear [ ] Mother [X] Father [ ]Wife [ ] Child
of DECEASED SERVICEMAN.
It is with the utmost sincerity and regret that we present our most personal heartfelt apologies for:
[ ] Improperly refusing your claim
[ ] Sending you a bill instead of a check
[ ] Leaving you on hold for three hours
[x] Other
Very truly yours,
Insurance Bureacrat No. XZ 3Q 27513.

Wow. Just wow.
It would be nice if Mr Rojas could receive an avalanche of email saluting him for his integrity. The man is a modern-day hero, and one of the best.
THESE are the kinds of people our society needs to hold up in admiration. Not a bunch of two-dimensional pretty faces like George Clooney or Madonna.
From one human being to another: thank you, Mr. Rojas.

If this story doesn't make you proud that we do have folks of honor, duty, and integrity amongst us all, then it is probably safe to assume that you are a dimocrap!

BTW, the caption regarding the younger Mr. Rojas "who mistakenly received" the checks intended for the elder Mr. Rojas is inaccurate. The younger Mr. Rojas did not "mistakenly" do anything. He corrected the mistake of others.

"Because there's some good in this world worth fighting for..." Indeed :~D

Get it straight! </sarcasm>
