Brother,
Thank you for your wisdom and frienship. You are not forgotten. You have been an inspiration to my life. I'm sorry I couldn't have been there for you, I let you down, and for that I'm sorry. Thank you for being a friend to me when I needed it. You are one of the reasons I cry when I see the beautiful American Flag. I still pray for your family. I miss you brother.

”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 1,750 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 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,
Kenna

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Sgt Lopez. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Sgt Lopez knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Sgt Lopez!

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 Edgar, 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.

~~~You will never be forgotten!! You gave the ultimate sacrafice and for that we Thank you. You are constantly in my prayers. May your family be blessed always!! ~~~

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Lopez!

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 guestbook 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.

Paying tribute to Sgt. Edgar E. Lopez, on the anniversary of the day, he gave his life for our Country and our Freedom. A Multitude of Thanks, to this Fine Young Marine, for his Courage, Dedication and Service.
Rest In Peace Young Hero, in God's Mighty Hands and may God's Loving Grace and comfort continue to be with the Lopez family.
Those who Made the Ultimate Sacrifice, So Many and So Young, shall NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

To live in the hearts of those you leave behind is never to die"
~Robert Orr~
Those we love remain with us,
for love itself lives on...
And cherished memories never fade,
Because a loved one's gone....
Those we love can never be,
more than a thought apart....
For as long as there is memory,
They'll live on in the heart.

To anyone that reads this I direct your attention to a couple things. Sgt Walsh first off stated it best The Corps will be at a loss without this Marine. I had the pleasure of serving with Lo in 2003 and 2004 This was one of the best poeple I have ever met. The Love he had for his Marines and his Corpsman was insurpassable... This comin from his prior corpsman. He was one of the best Sgt's I knew and I will miss him he taught me alot in the time I served with him. Some may have said he was hard but those who knew him knew it was cause he cared. He will be Missed Greatly GOD BLESS HIM. "Semper Fidelis" and to the family if you ever need anything just contact me and I will do what I can HM3(SW) Reed, Joshua

Hey Edgar! I was looking through the Houston Chronicle and I ran across this part of the site; I searched for your name and well here you are... I miss you bunches and there were a lot of things let unsaid. Some day we'll see each other again and we'll catch up. Just know that you will forever be my hero and that you will always be remembered. I keep Ana and Jr in my prayers. Watch over your lil' ones, my lil' peanut that I have growing inside of me, and my pumpkin that is awaiting my return back in the states. Miss u!

Sgt. Lopez was one of the finest Marines that I have and will ever work next too. He helped me time and time again when ever I needed it or he thought I needed it. The Marine Corps. and the world are at a great loss without him. He will forever be in the hearts and minds of Marines he served along with, and stood next too.In loving memory...
