7 memories of Oscar
Oscar will never be forgotten. He was an inspiration to me from the day I shook his hand. He was a family man and a good friend to all.
To the Jiminez family, thank you for supporting him and letting him continue doing what he loved. My prayers and best wishes go out to all of you.
He is never gone, just away.
We miss him very much..
Oscar is a true hero to all of us! He was always there for me. No doubt that all who served our country are Heroes but the one person who has made an impact in my life is my brother Oscar and HE is MY HERO!!
It's a pleasure to know that Oscar and I both are brothers of Gamma Zeta Alpha. We miss him very much, and his family is always in our prayers.
HE SACRIFIED HIS LIFE FOR US,SO IM GONNA WRITE A POST OH HIM FOR BEING A TRUE HERO.
I am truely sad. I have been looking up old 11th Marine buddies I served with in the Gulf War and Oscar was one of them. I had looked forward to hearing from him and sharing the news in our lives when I came across this after seeing his photo. Oscar was a great freind and I'll miss him and the oppurtunnity to catch up things. He became an officer!! Semper Fi my friend...
