Hello,

We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the Medellin Family to know that we recently made a donation to Snow Ball Express in the name of Jesus Martin Antonio Medellin US Marine Corporal. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.

Sincerely,

Dear Freddie, Im not sure you remember me. Im Becky Gallegos' daughter Vanessa. I never had the honor to meet MArtin but knew you and John. I remember monica took me to his funeral and i just remember john not wanting to let him go and there had to be hundreds of people there. i was only ten nut i remember it like it was yesterday. You always had a smile on your face everytime i seen you but after that...it seemed to have faded. Im now a U.S. MArine like Marty...& 8 yrs ago i never thought i would be wearing the same uniform as your son but i wear it with pride because men and women like your son sacrificed their own life for something much bigger than themselves and i pray that i can be a good Marine like Cpl. Medellin. I would really like to talk to you or anyone in the family please call at 806-317-4139 ...PFC GALLEGOS

”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 the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Almost 2,100 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!
This is a gift! We have wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and want you know that everyone here at Project Compassion does and will always CARE.
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 God Bless You.

To the Medellin family,
Please know that just as your loved one will forever remain in your hearts and minds, his sacrifice and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God grant you the peace that passes all understanding.

To the family and friends of Jesus.
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.

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 Jesus, but he is my hero.

I remember so vividly how saddened I was to hear of the death of this fine young man. I am a retired teacher from the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD and the mother of a Boswell grad of 92. I am also the wife of a retired soldier who served 2 tours in Viet Nam and I, too, lost a dear friend named Jesus (Chuy) in Viet Nam in 1968. Even though over 4 years have passed since you lost your Marty, we pray for you and the supreme sacrifice that your son made. From everything that I have read about him, you have every reason to be proud.

November 14, 2007

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Cpl Medellin!

August 3, 2007

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

It's time again that people pay their respects for fallen soliders but you were so much more. Since I dedicated my right leg to you in ink you will always be apart of me. You don't know how much Breanna misses you Martin. And how much I miss just your smile and hearing you say " I am watching The Simpson". I will always keep you in my heart.
