PFC: Today it is forty years since you sacrificed all for our country and the Corp. We are certain to see Heaven since we served our tours in hell. We will know we have arrived when we see the streets guarded by United States Marines. Semper Fi Brother!

Peace and condolence, to the family and friends. "He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today, that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother”. Rest in peace brave soldier, you have not been forgotten. (W.Shakespeare) May God Bless You for your Sacrifice!!!

I was right next to Juan when he died. I killed the NVA who killed Juan. I was wounded the next day. I have a son that is a policeman and a son that is a fire man, but on sept. 11, I think of JUAN. A real HERO

A Marine ,Hero,and a friend
Juan and I arrived in NAM on the same day and befriended ourselves from day one. We ended up in the same company,platoon,and squad with the 1st.Marine Div.When I assumed the squad leader position I made Juan my radio man.The next few months we fought and partied together. Well we were trasferd to the 3rd Div. we got split up,we were up in Mothers Ridge him on one mountain peak me on another. I witness the attack of there hill that night. The following morning word reached me of Juans death. Juan died a Hero, Juan you may have died on that mountain top in NAM that night but you live on in my heart and all that had the honor of serving with you Allways in my thoughts my friend. DEVILDOGS.
