I didn't know SPC Jesus Flores. However, I do want to give my condolence to all of his family. I do know how much it feels like to lose someone so dearly loved, in that same way. In addition, I would like to thank him for sacrificing his life to protect other's....... THANK YOU JESUS!!!! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY PRAYERS!!!

JUN JUN as we all call him here in Malaybalay City, Philippines...We were friends since birth. When we heard the news that he was killed in service of the US Army, we were all shocked...We couldn't believe it since he was just here in Malaybalay 3 weeks ago...Jun Jun, kung aha man ka karon, duha lang akong masulti. Nalipay ko nga naila tika ug na amigo tika for so long.and im so proud of you jud.kami tanan diri sa Capuna Compound Imapalambong, Malaybalay City, Philippines will always remember your smile..We will miss you..

Tho I didnot know SPC Jesus Flores I still feel some of the pain. He came from the town I grew up in and its sad when we lose a native son. Jesus I am so sorry that you will not go to that football game or dance with your children if I had the power to change what has happened I would. I can't even begin to feel or know what your family is going through right now I can only imagine what it would be like if I lost my son. God bless you for being who you were and I am grateful for the decisions you've made. Rest In Peace you will not be forgotten.

I remember me and Flores while on the Uss Kitty Hawk. We were both on the flight deck and man we hated it with a passion. We both wanted to get out of that department. A real cool guy to be around and he knew how to have fun and not mix it with business. Condolence to Flores Family and Friends.

I met Jun-jun when he first migrated to the States at around age 12 with his sibblings; such a sweet and meek kid who loved to play video games.

I believe I have not met him, altho our family have close ties w/ his parents. His father is a very decent man, the mother a sweet lady, the family is full of humility and virtue. I remember the beautiful singing voices they had. I'm not surprised that he is greatly missed. Rest in peace JunJun...the love of God now surround you through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Flo, men. i was shocked when a fellow brother email me with a really hurt felting news about you. i didn't even know that you join the Army. You knew and i been talking to you when we were on Kitty-Hawk that i was in the Army. I really admire you for being a Soldier who commited the sacrifies for our country. Always be in my heart and soul all the things we've been done in the past. Specially in Hong Kong, and those things died its because you are gone. But i will remember you forever.
