Casillas en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/justin-casillas/#c195455 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/justin-casillas/#c195455 My love for you will never cease to exist, it'll be 10 years soon, and I honestly wonder if I've lost my chance at happiness the day you left. Everything changed that day. It's weird, but I still turn to your picture for comfort, and advise, and occasionally cry desperately like the moment I found out. I often visit your grave, but dont want anyone to find out or know. I dont want ppl that were closer to you to think I'm undeserving of you, undeserving to cry over your grave and miss you. I understand though, we're zealous of those that we love. And you are still very much loved. I promise your story will be told; a story of your valor, strength, and kindness. Forever you will be near my heart; until I'm buried near that pine tree where the wind whispers your name, and the sun hugs the fast falling tears from my eyes. Where the green fields of spring and summer tell our love story, and the fall leaves remind those that visit us that we lived and loved, that we had an honest upbringing and speak of our hardwork and determination. And Where the heavy falling rain drops cry for us if no else does, and they wash away the pain of these years without you. And where spring comes quickly to once again remind me of the day that I first saw you, and of that gentle kiss, and where our pure innocent love can be retold time and time again.

I can't believe his picture came up when I was searching something entirely different; I guess maybe it's fate. I still remember visiting his grave on the 4th of July with my grandfather and placing an American flag in the grass. It broke my heart that he died so young, though I know it was for the noblest cause. I unfortunately never had the privilege of meeting Justin (at least none I can remember), but if I could speak to him now, I'd thank him for his incredible sacrifice. He is a true American Hero.

I want to thank your family and friends for I am free because of your heroic duties. You are a hero to me a common man doing uncommon things. It is a shame you do not have a head stone I cried when I read that. I would like to send something one day to get an american hero his headstone. God Bless you Justin's Family and Friends Tue, 01 Jun 2010 02:12:15 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/justin-casillas/#c28528 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/justin-casillas/#c28528 JUSTIN!... the last time we hung out, we were riding that stupid yellow quad with Coop, up sand creek road... I remember talking to you about why we didn't hang out more in high school... we both couldn't figure it out... we had alot of fun that night. and I'm sorry that we could have shared more good times. It's crazy... I was googling assanine things right now... and you come up... nothing in my google search had anything to do with you... so why have I yet again, stumbled upon you? I do not know. I visited your grave the other day, I was surprised to see that you do not have a head stone yet. It was a bit disheartening. I'm still unsure how to feel about all of this... I guess all I can say is I am thankful for the good times we had, though brief. Thanks for being a good friend. I hope that you're doing well, somewhere out there.

We met in basic as total strangers, and soon grew into brothers. We talked all too much about home and told each other things we haven't told anyone else. I miss you, I will never forget you. You are a true hero. Thank you.
