”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to you. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,800 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
Mothers and/or Fathers, of our heroes, please be aware that the Project Compassion sponsors will now help cover the costs of the portraits for you to have one - regardless if the spouse of the hero has one or not!
Contact us directly at [email protected]. or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and bless you.
Sincerely and Respectfully,

A los familiares y amigos de Pedro Calderón:
La razón por la que escribo es porque deseo expresarles mi más sentido pésame por la pérdida de Pedro Calderón. Aunque ya han pasado varios años de su muerte, siempre queda dolor y vacio tras el fallecimiento de un ser querido y es por eso que deseo compartir con ustedes el ánimo y la esperanza que dan Jehová Dios y su hijo Jesucristo para el futuro cercano.
Cuando Jesús estuvo aquí en la tierra llevó a cabo varias resurrecciones, dándonos prueba de lo que hará en un futuro para toda la humanidad. El dijo: “Así como el Padre levanta a los muertos y los vivifica, así el Hijo también vivifica a los que él quiere. […] No se maravillen de esto, porque viene la hora en que todos los que están en las tumbas conmemorativas oirán su voz [la de Jesús] y saldrán”. (Juan 5: 21, 28, 29) En efecto, Jesucristo prometió que millones que han muerto despertarán del sueño en el que hoy se encuentran y volverán a la vida en esta Tierra. Tendrán la perspectiva de permanecer para siempre sobre ella en condiciones pacificas y paradisiacas.
¡Qué alegría y que alivio podemos sentir al saber que muy pronto las promesas encontradas en la Biblia se harán realidad! Pedro Calderón escuchara la voz de Jesús cuando él llame y volverá a vivir.
Una vez más, por este medio, reciban mis más sinceras condolencias por su perdida y siéntanse en libertad de contactarme si desean saber más sobre las promesas de Dios.
Sinceramente,
Ana Méndez

In Memory of Pedro ~ (Debra Estep)
June 21, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Pedro, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Pedro it has been over 3 years since you were taken. Please know that you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

This is not at all
How it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you’ve gone away,
And left us with the memories
Of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned
More the wisdom of God’s plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see your smile
And I imagine you
Seeing all your dreams come true
Cause we believe you’re home
Away from home, so
We can cry with hope,
We can say goodbye with hope
Cause we know our goodbye
Is not the end
And we can grieve with hope
Cause we believe with hope
There’s a place, where we’ll see
Your precious face again
We have this hope as an anchor
Cause we believe that everything
God promise us is true, so
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope

When you lose someone you love. Its as if you lost yourself some where along the way too,and in order to find yourself you must follow gods path as it takes us through this journey called life with its good & bad,and as we live to tell,we live to learn that everything happens for a reason,and clearly as the sky is blue.In time we do all come to understand.Only then is when you relize life is burrowed and not for us to keep.
Iv'e heard life is short and days are long,that moments pass in an instant.This is why they say life is precious and that every moment shared should be as if it were the last.So leave all grief in the past,take all memories that you have,make some smile,some one laugh.
"just the way you did"
missing my friend,my brother,your jokes your laughter,our long talks.
all together you!!!
