Martinez while assigned the 201st FSB, 3rd Brigade, 1st ID. He was wise beyond his years, he always set the standard and he embodied the true meaning of what it is to be an American soldier. His upbeat personality was contagious and he could light up a room upon entrance. To the family of Sgt. Martinez, I am sorry for your loss and he will never be forgotten. We miss you brother!

Wonderful, kind man! GREAT SOLDIER! I remember how beautiful he was. When we were in Iraq, I always noticed his smooth and fresh face and skin. One night after work, we were all hanging out in another Soldiers room playing cards; I asked him how he kept his face so smooth in the desert, he said he uses baby lotion... I laughed so hard! .. I miss him, his smile, his SMOOTH SKIN!! God Bless him and his family! My condolences! On this day I remember and I Salute him! I just thought should know even though it's been over 10 years! The ones who were there remember!

Danza, Pete on May 31, 2010 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/trinidad-r-martinez-luis/#c29678 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/trinidad-r-martinez-luis/#c29678 I didn't serve with Trinidad. I was a soldier who came upon the accident and went into the water and carried him to the roadside then the last one to put him in the Medivac. That day and event will always stay with me in my nightmares. I am so sorry for your loss! We lost some great guys in that war. Sgt. Trinidad was one of them! Mon, 31 May 2010 04:25:07 -0700
