Jose Regalado, 23

While I did not know Jose personally, my sympathy to his family. My son was deployed with Jose. Jose is a true American hero. May God bless Jose and his family.

I only knew Jose a few days..but he was truely an amazing guy. I only have good memories w/him. And I will remember our time we spent together. He will forever be loved and missed...my heart goes out to his family,his wife,his daughter and to all around him that were close to him. He will always be remembered..may he rest in peace.

Jose and his family are my neighbors. Thank you Jose for being courageous and defending your Country and all of us.
May God Have You in His Arms.

Jose Regalado...it is sad how our courage gets measured, it pains me as a friend and a fellow armed forces member to see a brother give his life for our country, you are a true patriot and a true hero..rest in peace friend

I didnt know Jose personally. I met him on my four day pass to Qatar. We had a blast together. It was like we knew each other the entire time we were in Mosul. My prayers go out to his family. He was a great soldier.

Dear Jose im sorry that today i got the bad news. today 14 dec I learned that my best friend while I was in Fort Knox, KY has passed. I learned that he was shoot by an Iraqi in uniform. I can still see him in his house working on his car always doing something on that car. Also I remember that he helped me cut a tree in a friends house I have a lot of memories of him and when Sharri told me that he was killed is like my heart stopped for a second it hurt so much. Me an him got a lot of memories working I remember him working in the arms room and he will ask me if i was in my office and we will work together do something. He was my best friend and I will remember him for ever. I'm still shocked by his death.
Brother rest in peace.
My hermano descansa en paz. Y que Dios te tenga en la gloria mi amigo.

May of 2007 we spoke. If given the chance you know I will do as we said. From this day foward know that I have chanced my view. I never thought I would think it but.. there's a Soldier I look up too. I hope Marines are allowed in heaven so we can see each other again. I will always take one for you and rememeber the day you asked me why I wanted to Marry your Sister. Regardless your always be, beside me.
I will try to do as you wanted.

Sergeant Muro

Jose and I attended the same school, we played on the same Football team, we shared the same friends, we participated in the school ROTC, we graduated on the same day, we joined the same Army, we trained for the U.S Cavalry, we attended and graduated from Fort Knox, we were stationed at Fort Polk, we were assigned to the 2nd Armor Cavalry Regiment, we deployed to Iraq at the same time, and yet I only knew him from recognition. I found out today that a fellow Sergeant and brother-in-arms has passed, I wish that I would of taken the time to get to know him a little better, my thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family, I just returned from the deployment that we both embarked on and it is a horrible realization that one of my fellow Cavalry Troopers did not make it home. You made the ultimate sacrifice for your country brother, Rest In Peace.

I learned today that Sgt. Jose Regalado, a young man I had the priviledge of watching grow up along with his siblings, had passed on Nov 12, 2oo8. Jose grew up in the house next door to my parents, and his parents are still there. While I was at my dad's home today, I was approached by his beautiful mother Raquel as she tearfully told me of the loss.
As a child, Jose was incredible, he was always there to help his parents with chores around the house, and even had time to visit with a lonely senior, making sure he was ok. The Senior was my dad, and my father was very proud of him. Before my dad's death in 96', he kept me posted of how the kids were doing, especially Jose.
To the Regalado family, my heartfelt prayers are with you. Know, that you have a very special Angel with you Always. God Bless and Keep You in the Palm of his hand.

It is hard to captivate that such a young man lost his life in battle. I went to school with Jose's sisters; Wendy and Haydee. My memories of Jose are as a child, he was a very courteous, nice kid who illuminated others with his big bright smile. I pray that your family, wife and baby girl have the strength to carry on through these very difficult time.

I didnt realize what i was looking at today until I saw Sgt Regalado's picture appear. I was shocked!!! I was a recruiter for Wilson High from 2000-2004 I remember running into Jose countless times. I tried to persuade him to join the Corps like most of his friends did, he finally decided on the Army.He was happy and excited.I remember congratulating him. We all dont realize what our path in life is until it occurs. Jose loved the military and his family. One must remember that he served with Pride, Honor and Respect. Treasure the memories and moments that he provided to all that he touched. May his spirit live on forever.To the family, I am deeeply sorry for your lost. Semper Fi!!!

JOSE!!!
we all miss you and you will always be in our hearts!!!
we love u!!! soo muuucchhh, i can't stress it enough, you have no idea:/

Jose,
What a beautiful little girl you have made. We are soooo blessed to have her come into our lives. We will love her and always honor your memory.
Rest in peace!

SGT Regalado,

There is not a day that goes by where I don't think of you and your family. I remember when you would always come up to me and say "TOP" you want to fight. I would just laugh at you and keep moving. God bless you and your family. Take care my friend. "Killer 7"

hey jose,

so i went to visit you saturday...i took you roses, pink ones (Im sure u really loved that). But the visit was so surreal, since i found out about your passing i would say i almost avoided your resting place, choosing better to believe you were deployed off to some distant land. And when i finally got there and saw you....i knew it was real and that you were REALLY gone. In body anyway, never in spirit because there are so many hearts and memories you live on in to this day. I took you chocolate chip cookies because i know they are your fave. I can almost hear your voice askin if i wanted to go to TROYS for some chili cheese fries....or even remembering u telling me rather excitedly that u were having Jamie. I wish we had more time buddy....=( you will always be the first thought in my mind when i hear the word hero. Put in a good word for me up there. MISS YOU.

love always,
Ashley

If you only knew. Gone but not forgotten. I still hold you dear. For my side will never fall.

I met Jose as a Freshman in High School. Even then he always wanted to do things his way. I admired that about this young man. He joined JROTC and eventually was selected as my Command Sergeants Major. Jose always competed at the highest level and always loved a challenge. I will tell you that he would not want anyone to feel sorrow for his passing. If he could he would probably say, I can handle it. Brave and fearless, live forever.Hoooah

Rest In Peace Jose!

I have my Flag up for you today my friend and neighbor. You are not forgotten. May you rest in peace.

Its been almost 3 years since you passed and its so hard to believe you are gone. Its so sad! I remember you sitting in front of me in class and you rested your legs on mine. I had a little crush on you. I can't believe you are gone, May you rest in peace! You are now an angel to all your family and friends. I will never forget you.. :'(

My Dear Cousin, Mi Querido Primo. I was looking at your picture today and all I could do is Cry :'( We all miss you . I still Remember when we were all kids and You would come over and Visit I miss those days and I miss you . I know your watching Over us from heaven , I still wish you were here We miss you Primo We Love You.Monica Regalado

Rest in Peace, SGT Jose Regalado.
