I learned so much from you. The world became a darker place when we lost your light.

That's about it. I wish I had some sentimental memory of time with him, but the honest truth is that I don't. The truth about my relationship with Jose is that it was a professional one. He was one of my soldiers. But he was also more. I counted Jose as that one guy in my squad I didn't need to worry about. He was a badass. He was that guy that everyone knew had it together. He was that guy that everyone knew they could look at during a firefight and would be calm and collected. I wasn't Jose's friend. We didn't have long talks about what we would do when we got home. But if I told him to hold a corner, he would respond with "Roger" and I knew that sector was covered, without a doubt. He epitomized what I meant to be an infantryman. He was kind, he was smart, he was a professional, and he was ready to deal violence at the drop of a hat.

You were an outstanding Soldier and leader and this Army and World are better because you were here. I recently wrote a paper for CGSC about leaders who have inspired me and made me a better leader and person. I didn't mention Patton or MacArthur, I mentioned you. I will always remember your commitment to leading by example, your passion for Soldiers, and your willingness to always be there for your brothers in arms. I am truly a better person for knowing you. Thank you, I'll see you on the high ground. -Cannibal 21 (MAJ Johnathan Martin) Sun, 18 Jan 2015 10:02:23 -0800 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/jose-r-perez/#c158772 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/jose-r-perez/#c158772 Jose, you were a soldiers' soldier! The best soldier I ever had or new. I remember our talks, and how you always strived to be the best you could be. All of your peers looked up to you, and I am certain in their memorys still do. I am pissed that there was nothing I could do to save you, and would willingly trade places with you if I could. This memorial day I remember you as I always have; as strong and dedicated young man aspiring for greatness! I will always remember you my little brother!

A great soldier and a better friend to whomever was fortunate enough to have him as one. He always treated everyone with respect and had a caring personality. I don't know anyone that ever had anything bad to say about him. You will be missed my friend...still think about you all the time bro, till we meet again.

The world is a sadder place without you in it. You were what every Infantryman aspired to be. You're miss everyday. Till we link up again. Regulars, By God.
