Your presence in this world made it a better place, despite how brief it may have been. You're always in our thoughts & prayers, as is your family. I'll see you soon, but not too soon. Happy Memorial Day.

For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more" Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:40:55 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/erik-hernandez-silva/#c42693 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/erik-hernandez-silva/#c42693 I served with Erik. He is one of the most amazing people I know. He was the kinda guy that would give you the shirt off of his back, and if your really needed them: his pants and shoes. I have several stories about him, One of the first is when we were on ship and he invited me to come play some video games and I got to know him more while playing, then shortly after that watch world cup soccer in Singapore with him. Hearing the news that we had lost him was up to that point the darkest of days. Semper Fi, Brother, till we see each other again.
