At nearly 12 year later, I still honor PFC Rojas every day by the wrist band I wear. In Iraq, PFC Rojas always addressed me properly and very respectfully. He always saw the silver lining in everyday. This I can never forget. Still, to this day, I cannot forget his sacrifice he made for my brother's and sisters we served with in America's stance against evil. My wrist band is wearing out, but on 29 October 2017, I will be receiving a brand new wrist band to continue the rememberance of my friend and my hero. If the family of Kenny still receive these messages, know this, I tell his story to everyone who asks about the bracelet. I honor that brave young man every Memorial Day, and I still pray for him every chance I get. He is my hero, and his sacrifice will never be forgotten by me or my family.

In Memory of Kenny ~ (Debra Estep)

October 29, 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 Kenny, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. 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.

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, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) 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!!

I was with Kenny in Iraq in 2005. He and I worked closely together and he is constantly on my mind. He impacted my life so much and he will be forever in my heart. I will never forget him and what he stood for. He was a great American, fantastic Soldier, and a wonderful person. Godspeed.

Kenny:
It's so long since you left everyone... ALthough we didn't speak as much after high school I still remember the crazy classes we had together and how you always made everyone laugh. YOu are dearly missed and with that you rest in peace. God Bless

I am Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Pfc. Kenny D. Rojas, one year ago today.
The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
May Kenny rest safely in the Loving Care of God and may the Peace of the Lord continue to be with the Rojas family.
There will never be enough ways to humbly thank these heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.

"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."
Revelations 21:4

May your memories of Kenny, live in your heart always.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

I have come across this guest book, and I am in complete astonishment. My name is Cole Rojas, and I have the greatest respect for all of those who have descended from the ancient Rojas... My heart goes out to your loss, and if you were like the Rojas's from which I have immediately descended ; my guess is you were a wonderful person.

Dear Rojas Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences for Kenny. Although I met him a couple times, I am friends with Steve and through Him I know all of you. Don't be discouraged by the things in life that sometimes seem cruel. In the end, somehow, someway there is purpose. Steve--Godspeed to you in these times. I hope the 'Bees let you go.

To The Family and Friends of Kenny Rojas:

I just want you all to know how much we Americans appreciate your son for fighting for Freedom. It is difficult to understand why we lose our children and our loved ones away from home. Just know that he was doing what he thought was right and without the sacrifices being made, these wars could be fought on our home front. We have also lost our grandchild in September and know that whatever we say won't make things much better. Our hearts go out to you and hope and pray that you will come to terms and understanding your loss.

We pray that all our loved ones come home soon.
