John D. Aragon, 22

I never got to know him well enough but i had conversations before and during the war, he was passionate about his duty and its a shame to hear what happened.

Hes a 110 percent guy ive always got from him, i couldnt imagine doing his job.

Thanks Johnny, peace and love brother

i'M SADDEN BY THE LOSE OF ONE MORE YOUNG MAN TO A SENSELESS WAR. tHE LEADERS OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AS THEY HAVE HELD OTHER LEADERS OF COUNTRIES WHERE THE RIGHTS OF IT'S CITIZENS HAVE BEEN ABUSED AND LIES HAVE BEEN TOLD TO LEAD IT'S CITIZENS ASTRAY. mY PRAYER IS THAT THIS WAR WILL END AND THE SOLDIERS THAT ARE STILL ALIVE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES, WIVES AND RELATIVES alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!God Bless America.

STAND TALL, STAND PROUD, AN AMERICAN HERO PASSES OUR WAY

We went to high school and everything together. We would talk about random things unrelated to school but never anything about the military. We had classes together from 11th to 12th grade and spent most days making fun of the teachers or goofing off in auto. I remember when he first told me he joined the army. I gave him crap about it cause I had joined the marines. He would keep me posted about how everything was going for him via myspace and I would keep him up on myself. We would always ask "How do you like the army?" or "How's the marine thing going?". He really did love what he did, and he was so proud. I remember having bad days and telling him how I wanted to just go home and he would say encouraging things like "Don't worry cuz, things will get better." He was a great person, a great cousin, and a great soldier.

Thank you for our freedom John. God Bless you and your family.
