Hood, TX. I can write a book on how good of a Soldier, but more importantly, a person he was. I miss you so much and wish I could hear your laugh one more time. My heart will never heal from your passing, but we loved doing what we do right; Tankers! If anyone has any contact informationto his family, please contact me. I plan on being in SoCal this summer. 916-801-6964. Javiermachado19k@gmail.com.

God bless us all, the whole human race and all the difficulties we must now face. While we are sleeping in the comfort of our beds Another soldier fallen Another soldier dead. How can we ever Thank You what words are there to say To leave the ones you loved behind broken and crying and absolutely knowing this freedom came from dying. Before I lay my head to sleep in the comfort of my bed I pray to God in the heavens above, Take special care of these families that loved. Be there for them in their bottomless pit as they will continue to weep. The price they have had to pay is also so very steep. To look upon their face no more is more than enough to bare. The sadness that will never cease The loss that once made them complete. Be grateful enough to show that you care for their loss is truly your gain. While we are sleeping in the comfort of our beds Another soldier fallen Another soldier dead. This sacrifice intertwined with this gain carries the depth of the deepest pain. These families have so gratefully shared in a death for which freedom came. I pray for the soldier far from home and pray that you know you are never alone God Speed and God Bless once again you will be protected and sheltered in the land of the free. Please stop this war, Please ask no more for their ultimate gift of dying. So as you are sleeping in the comfort of your bed Remember another soldier fallen Another soldier dead to give you all your comforts of laying in your beds. To wake up each and every day forever to be able to say GOD BLESS THE USA. Written by Linnie Blankenbecler in loving memory of her husband" Jorge, We will never forget you bro. We miss and love you.

I remember his laugh when he use to go to our house, especially when my brother and Jorge they would make me lift weights and jorge would drop the bar on me, and they would both just stare and laugh at me. He was a character, and had great leadership skills. I remember him and my brother fighting for model cars who created the best lowrider or the best so called jet. I could hear him scream, and my mom would yell, "Los dos estan locos si sevan a la guerra" Mrs.Pena and family he was a good man and a good friend my brother David. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you. And to all those family who have someone is the service. Please keep they in ur prayers.
