Memories and Condolences
for Nicholas Olivas

I attended OUST and Airborne school at Fort Benning, GA with Olivas. While we were never very close I will never forget him. Olivas called me out during combatives training for a one on one bout. While I dont remember why, Ill never forget how on the very starting whistle he slapped the absolute crap out of me! Lol! Dont remember much else about the bout but I sure remember that. Was very saddened to hear of his passes during the deployment shortly after. Every Memorial Day I remember him as the first person I knew that lost their life in combat. God bless the family he left behind.

Nicholas Olivas was a great man. I say this with certainty, as I was the signed witness at his wedding with Faith Olivas and also present for the birth of their son. This man deserves to be forever recognized and remembered as a hero. His family, friends, and I miss him dearly. We will always be thankful for the sacrifice he made for us.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son, husband and father's sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Nicholas will never be forgotten.
For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.
For those missing in action;
for those who didn't make it home.
I know you're in God's presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.
I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you .
I Salute You.

I knew Nicholas when he was real young. I work for the VA and come from a big family of Veterans. Words cannot explain your pain and bittersweet feelings as he was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice for this country and freedom. Soldiers have a special place in Heaven and I know he is up there looking down on his whole family n friends!!!! When soldiers enlist they give a blank check to the country for "up to and including their lives" and they will always be remembered for that! May God touch your hearts and surround you with comfort in this time. Baby boy.... When you grow up and is reading these about your daddy know that he is an actual hero and he died fighting for million of people's freedom!

Una Carta de Dios Para
La Familia de
Un verdadero héroe Americano
Cpl Nicholas Olivas
Querido Hijo Mio,
Soy el Dios de todo consuelo. Te tendré en mis brazos de compasión y te cantaré my canción de gracia.
Tocaré las heridas dentro de tí, y en mi perfecta época, te levantaré de este lugar de dolor.
Pero quiero que sepas que mientras te estoy sanando, también estoy creando dentro de tí un ministerio de sanación.
Proque al ser sanado por mi te conviertes en un sanador.
Sabrás que el mismo consuelo que con el poder de mis palabras trabaja dentro de tu corazón roto, y el amor de mi gente, es para que se recicle.
Algún día, cuando tu corazón haya crecido fuerte otra vez, enviaré a alguien a tu vida que esté tan roto como tu lo estas hoy.
Y la compasión que derramo dentro de ti ahora, fluirá de tí hacia esa alma adolorida.
Sabrás como consolarlo porque tu has estado donde el esta ahora.
Resonarás con su dolor.
Alcanzarás a la profundidad de tu propia sanación y con tu amor lo regresarás a la vida por Mi. Entonces serás un instrumento valioso para Mi.
Un instrumento que en un momento estaba humillado y adolorido... y luego sanado para ser un sanador! Este es Mi Plan para tí.
Te amaré por siempre, Dios
Lamentamos que tu Estrella Azul haya cambiado a Oro.
Que Dios esté contigo, transmitiéndote paz y consuelo.

Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.

Even though I didnt personally know Nicholas he was my son too as I consider all of our brave men and women in uniform to be my family. May God please take good care of him in Heaven and may He also please give peace and comfort to your family.

Today we thank our heroes, our soldiers brave and tall
All who gave much more than some, And some who gave it all.
Young men and women came across this land so wild and free,
They stand together, side by side, in the light of liberty.
They say that freedom is not free and comes with such a price,
And here before us stands the men who went and thought not twice.
From Flanders Fields, Korea's shores, the rice fields of Viet Nam,
Across the oceans, to the East, they came for Uncle Sam.
With grateful hearts we take the time today to sing your praise,
And thank you once again with love, our glass to you we raise,
For had it not been you right there, our land would not be free,
So rest in peace, God keeps you close, you gave us liberty.
