When my father passed I was only 4 years of age about to turn 5. These post keep me going. Thank you for all your condolences and for those who wanted to get a hold of us please do so. We would greatly appreciate it.

The lessons he taught me lasted my entire time in the Corps. I will never forget him and thank him for being a friend and brother. I hope his family realizes that he lives in all of us. As long as a man is remembered, he is never gone.

He was so cute! When he got older we were like partners in crime, we were the ones to get always in trouble with our mother. He was a wise man, he had a good hart, there was something very special about his personality, he was very likable kind of guy. I feel so honored to be his sister and I am so proud of him, at 13 years of his passing my pain still there and it will never go away. I thank all of his friends and all of the ones who knew him and remember him, for posting stories about Jorge and expressing words of love for him, it makes me happy to know he will not be forgotten. I love you always and forever little brother and I am missing you very much.

We just knew! What we didn't want to know or hear. He had been KIA! I miss my brother so much! But the stories & comments I read on this post makes me feel a little bit better knowing that he hasn't been forgotten. Thank you for keeping his memories alive! Love you my dear brother, SSgt Jorge A Molina Bautista❤️😘 Translation: Durante estos dias de Mayo 23-Memorial Day, todos estos recuerdos se me vienen a la mente; el dia que recibi esa llamada de mi cuñada llorando diciendo, "hay un grupo de Marines en mi casa." En ese momento ya sabíamos! Lo que no queriamos saber o escuchar! El habia muerto en accion. Extraño a mi hermano mucho! Pero las historias y comentarios q leo en esta pagina me hacen sentir un poco mejor al saber q el no ha sido olvidado. Gracias por mantener vivas sus memorias! TE AMO mi querido hermanito, SSgt Jorge A Molina. Bautista❤️😘 Sun, 24 May 2015 11:32:04 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/jorge-a-molina-bautista/#c178820 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/jorge-a-molina-bautista/#c178820 ¡Me encantó encontrar esta página y trasmitir a través de ella nuestra vivencia personal con el SSgt MolinaBautista! a más de 10 años de su sensible partida. Soy su tía y él inició una de las fases más dolorosas de mi vida: la despedida de varios de mis seres queridos. Desde el año 1970, cuando nuestro padre y abuelo se fue, no había habido otra pérdida en la familia, hasta la funesta noticia de la partida de Jorge, Jorgito para su familia de México, en el año 2004. Sus primeros años de vida los vivió al lado de la familia de su mamá.., conviviendo con sus tíos más cercanos en edad a él: Nidia, Gustavo, Froylán y Lenar. Estos dos últimos les servían de escudos a él y a su hermano Miguel, cuando niños de la escuela los molestaban porque aún no hablaban bien. Sus tíos los grandotes los protegían de los niños de su edad que les hacían "bullying"... y ahora esos dos tíos, mis hermanitos queridos, se han ido ha hacerle compañía a Jorge. Gracias por haber coincidido con los tres un tramo importante de mi vida. Los quiero...

I am the second oldest, I was 11; Mike our brother was 10; and Jorge was 9 years old at that time. Our mom needed to work so I would watch over my little brothers. Anyway, I was going to cook dinner and I needed rice & tomatoes from the store. Jorge & Mike were playing outside and I called Jorge and asked him to go to the store to get the stuff I needed so he went on to the store (so I thought) . He came back later and said, here are the things you asked for. I said, where are the tomatoes? Jorge: "Oh No! Mike forgot the tomatoes!" Me: "JORGE YOU SHOULD BE THE ONE GOING TO THE STORE NOT MIKE! I asked you!" And that's when he got caught! We found out he would ask Mike instead of going himself to the store, then Jorge would bring the stuff to me, making me think he was the one who went to the store. Jorge was very smart and he would find ways to get away from doing his chores. I miss him so much!

I never knew how to get a hold of you guys but honestly I also really never had the guts to do so. I owe you guys and your father so much! God and your dad know how much we love him and miss him. Please contact me or I can contact you so we can chat, I owe that to you guys. God bless.

Moilna-Bautista. I remember chatting with you back at the CP In Blue Diamond. I remember you were real down to earth and a real nice guy. Especially for a staff NCO. You always had a friendly word and always provided a littel intel when you we would be leaving on missions or preparing for one, even though we weren't part of your unit. A little tid bit for when we'd be outside the wire. Something you might know, that we hadn't been briefed on. It showed you cared about your fellow Marines in general and not just your immediate unit. Thank you for caring and Semper Fi Marine! Tue, 16 Sep 2014 12:54:31 -0700
