Lo que sea, cuando sea, donde sea
Hermano, it seems like only yesterday we wished each other good luck before going back to the box again. Tell Cris Longsworth, Eric Caban, Josh Whitaker, Tim Padgett, EZ, and the rest of our fallen brothers that the Regiment sends its regards and we will never forget your sacrifices. YOU ALL LIVE WITHIN US AND KEEP US STRONG. WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT, IN YOUR HONOR.

No tube el placer de conocerte pero con tan solo saber que moriste en el combate, que tu alma descanse para simpre en la precencia de Dios y a tu familia que Dios derrame fortaleza en cada uno de ellos para seguir adelante, que algun dia estaremos todos por alla.............

Fuiste mujerigo, mentiroso, y tomador. Pero eso no te quita todas tus buenas cualidades. Eras humano, y como todo humano isiste errores. Nadie supo de mi ni de nuestro amor, y nunca sabran en realidad que fue de nosotros. Me entristese aver me enterado de esta manera de tu muerte pero mi consuelo son mis recuerdos de ti y del tiempo que vivimos juntos. Fuimos muy felices en ese tiempo. lo que si se es que tu unico y verdadero amor era tu trabajo. Tu moriste haciendo lo que mas amabas en la vida. yo en rialidad nunca entendi que era lo que acias pero solo con oirte hablar de lo que hacias era suficiente para saber que te gustaba.

Ahora descansa que tu has echo tu parte en esta batalla.
Siempre viviras en mi corazon.

To David's Family, son's and his love. The price SFC David Nunez has paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten. He was one of the best in my class, and I will always be thankful to have met David. Every time we spend teaching each other History it was great. History was David's favorite subject, and not to forget Cynthia his fiance, another great student. They were always trying to get the highest grade in class. They were both very smart. I have good memories of David and Cynthia, and they will never be forgotten. Just remembering about how they will come to class with a big smile in their faces, it was just great to see that motivation in them. They were very happy to have found each other and they never gave up school. They stay till the end and made it through together. Cynthia, There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, always remember the love you both shared and keep moving on in life. Do not give up in College and take your next step for your next Degree. David left doing his best, for his loved ones and he left being happy knowing that he found you and was happy while you and him were together. Think about the good times and always keep his love in your heart. I know his last words and thoughts were for you and his kids. David you are a Hero to many and with much respect and admiration thank you for serving us. You will never be forgotten in our hearts. Thank You.

David,

I'm so happy that you came into my life and now that you are gone I don't know what to do. You changed in so many ways for me and for our love. You said "I was your other half" and " that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me" and you did. You were loving, gentle, kind, sweet, and respectful to me and I thank you for that. I nevered cared about your past or what you did in your past all I ever cared about was that you were a good man to me and for me. You showed me your love everyday and in everyway. I thank GOD everyday that we were able to find true love in each other. My memories of you will last forever and my heart will be forever yours. Rest in peace my love.

My son Garrett was killed in Farah August 4th by an IED. On May 29th, he was wounded trying to save David's life near Shewan. He and another Marine did everything they could to pull him to safety after the convoy was attacked. Both of them were heartbroken that they could not save him. I don't want to say anything more about the incident in a public forum, but did want you to know that I am forever connected to your loss through my own. My heart goes out to all of his family--especially his wife and children. My son leaves behind a wife and two boys, as well. I hope that time will provide some measure of comfort to you. May God bless you.

David you are truly missed, it is not a day that goes by that i dont think of u and the life you shared with our family i often get sad when i think about how DJ n JUJU  dont have you here in the flesh to be a part of thier lives. Me and DJ talk about u a lot actually he brings u up he stated to me that at nights when he goes to sleep he feels u near him in the rm. he alsos stated that for his birthday in march he felt like u was sitting thier with him during his b-day gathering he misses you so very much As he stated the day of your homegoing at the cemetery,, u are and will always be good man and his hero. David having you in our lifes from the time u were 17 until your untimley death was a pleasure,,, no u were not as happy as u should had been but confusion took control of ur situations and the opinions of others always seem to matter to u, it doesnt matter to me what outside indivualis have to say about us they didnt and dont know the relationship that we meaning ,,your inlaws had people can say what they want to say u know and Gods know so RIP SFC David Nunez and may God continue to give your parents and Siblings the strength that they will continue to need. David Nunez Jr.(DJ) and Julian Nunez (JUJU) will always have the memory of thier father n Hero.Love U Your mother in law

Hi David,

I never met you, but my dad (Efrain Sosa) tells me that you were the son of a distant cousin of his. I drove my parents to your mass at the church in HP--were it looked so beautiful with flowers and your friends and family waiting to say the last good bye. I saw you come in and I prayed for you.

I am sure you were a good man, loving son, father and partner to Cynthia (as I have read in the blog above). May you rest in peace. Espero que Dios les haya mandado resignacion a tu familia.

Que Dios te bendiga!
