He thought it was an unjust war. His logic was: There were no terrorists there, so why are we going in there? He loved the country, but he didn't like the policies we were using. He didn't like George W. Bush. I never really knew why he joined the Army.
    — Manuel Garcia, cousin

    Garcia's MySpace account had a clock ticking down the amount of time until he would return home. Under goals he would like to achieve, Garcia wrote "Survive." He was the son of Mexican immigrants. Garcia attended Eisenhower High until the final few months of his senior year when he transferred to Fontana High, according to his mother.

    Nine memories of Victor A. Garcia

    I totally agree with u on that. George bush had no idea what he was doing. I think that the reason the September 11 happen is because of George Bush had alot of enemies and they wanted to show him what's up? So Bush thought he new it all so he made it war. Stupid man that what he was. He fell in there trap. I feel for Victor's family and I hope that they can remember all the good things he did.

    I was checking for names like mine "garcia" I was shocked that so many have given their lives and more so the ones from california that share my Surname. It seems to me its always "Garcia front & center" Its such a catchy name I mean to say. I am very proud that when the chips were down these soldiers Give and gave their last full measure of devotion for their comrades at arms as well as the country "US" that sent them into harms way.

    My family pray for those in the field of battle & around the world every day doing a difficult job to insure to those that would do us harm might think twice before they strike us again.

    May god bless you and yours in the Garcia family Thank you so very much

    Sincerely,

    Jeffrey A. Garcia

    I am proud of Victor's service and making the ultimate sacrifice to his fellow comrades. Serving in the Army isn’t about serving for a President; it’s about the belief of this great country and what it stands for. Many people confuse Soldiers with politicians, but we are not! We defend and support the people, not a person of the United States. As a Soldier and fellow IKE graduate, I thank Victor's family for letting us borrow him, and want his family to know, if there is anything myself or the Army can do for you, please let us know. Thank You Victor, Rest in Peace. Your Army Brothers thank you!

    I personally did not know Victor, but I do know his sister Belinda. Belinda is a sweet, kind, funny and lovable young woman. The loss I see in her lets me and others know how great Victor was.
    To Victor: Thank you for your service, Rest in Peace.

    Victor was a great kid and over nite turned to be a great soldier. He was a good Uncle and good son a good role model to my Grandson. His lose has had a great impact on Little Abel I've seen him change so he could be a person like his Uncle.I know Victor would be proud he misses him everyday.He gave all. He gave the Ultimate price. He will never be forgotten and he will always, always be missed.
