Israel Ibarra, if you read this, I am so sorry for your loss. I know you guys were best friends and that you went through a lot together.

Dear Family, I'm sorry for your loss. I thank God for the hero Israel was and his decision to fight for the freedom of others. 2 Timothy 4:7-8 tell us:
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. There is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day.
Israel has fought the good fight and has finished the race. May he receive the crown of righteousness.
God Bless you all.

NUESTRO MAS SINCERO PESAME A VICTORIANO Y MARICRUZ GARCIA, POR LA MUERTE DE NUESTRO SOBRINO
SIEMPRE SERAS RECORDADO ISRAEL POR LO BUENO Y SENCILLO QUE FUISTE, Y RECUERDEN ERES HEROE NACIONAL

I was blessed enough to have the opportunity to coach Israel in soccer at Poly High School. He was a wonderful young man who knew what he wanted to do with his life. I remember how proud he was when he told me he would be entering the service, and that same pride he had when he visited with me on one of his leaves. My prayers go out to his family. Should we all be so fortunate to have know such a special person.

R.I.P Israel it was nice knowing u I only met you once we'll never forget u

He was the kindest most outgoing person I ever met we shared great times in high school and fun times horse back riding in the summer. Im sadden to hear that he has passed I always wondered what have become of my friend and now that I know I am left broken hearted and deeply sadden... may you R.I.P I will always remember you.

Be free and rest easy my brother. You are an American patroit and faithful servant. God bless.

My honest condolences to the Garcia family. Israel and I met in high school, we played for the varsity soccer team. He was a great person who was always happy and outgoing. He will always be remember and love. Thank you for fighting for our freedom champion.

My, condolences towards the GARCIA family. So sorry for your loss. We thank you for your sons sacrifice to his country. And again sorry for your loss. Its a shame that man has not learned how to promote peace. The hope i would give you is in the Bible. First the scriptures read, Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out , those those who did good things to the resurrection of life. JOHN 5 : 28 . And also the book of ISIAH reads and he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation neither will they learn war anymore.

If you are family of Sgt. Garcia or can pass them a message requesting contact to me Laura Herzog 714-904-0253 or laura@honoringourfallen.org for an upcoming memorial event. Please contact me as soon as possible.
