To the family of Sgt. Glen E. Martinez,
I had the honor of standing in honor of your son during a Memorial Day service in the Steamboat Springs Cemetary this past week. It was a beautiful service and your family was in my thoughts and prayers. I am the mother of a US Marine who is about to deploy for a second time - this time to A-Stan. I cried for all of you and I prayed for your continued strength! I can not begin to imagine the grief. I was raised an Army brat and I believe in what our boys and girls are doing to keep this country safe. In my heart, your son has done the most honorable thing a human can do on this earth! Please add my son Cpl Seth Soutiea-Burch to your prayers as we continue this heartwrenching battle we are in. God Bless all of you and thank you for allowing me to honor your son Glen last Monday! He is missed - no doubt!

Glen, not a day goes buy that i dont think about you and some of the memories we had growing up! from our football days to wrestling basketball and baseball days. im sure you hear the music we used to listen to just before our football games playing from my truck when i go visit you at your resting place. you are definatly my hero and are greatly missed! ill be back to visit you soon my friend!

To the family of Glen. It's been two years now sence my grandaughter Casey and Glen's life was cut short. I pray that you have found peace in your lives. May God bless you.

Sgt Martinez,
A true Marine is how I descibe you. I think of all the funny times me, you, and Dimi had just laughing in the office. Still can't believe you're gone. You are the true definition of a devoted friend, Marine, husband, and person. You are truly missed.

Sgt Martinez,
it has been almost a year since you went to guard the streets of heaven. not a day goes by that i do not think about you and the others from "loc 2". for the short time we knew each other you changed me forever. i hope one day to be half as good a Marine, Leader, husband and friend as you were to so many. Thank You for everything. I will not say goodbye because goodbyes are forever. instead i will say see you in heaven.

To the family of Glen Martinez,
It was a honor and a enjoyment to have worked and served with Glen. He was a great person to be around at any time and his presence could boost ones morale. Glen will be deeply missed and I will never forget him. God bless

This is hard to put into words how the loss of a man/friend like glen hurts. But in my short time knowing him you knew he was special. Im honored to have my path in life to have crossed his. He in life and death showed what men should strive to be like. Love ya, miss ya bubba.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

miss you! miss you! miss you!, love you! love you! love you!!! PS: thanks for sending the seagull to add a bit of comedy to our wedding, we knew you'd be there
:-).

I think about you everyday man. I really do miss you, and I can't wait till the day we meet again.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

All I can say is:
Thank You

Dear Martinez Family:
My sincere and deepest sympathy to your family. Sgt. Martinez is a true Hero. He made the ultimate sacrifice for his family and country. I know, I lost my son, Sgt. Clint Ahlquist, USMC on Feb. 20, 2007 in Ramadi Iraq. My husband and I live in Creede, Co. and want you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers. Melissa, thank you for your service, my heart is with you.
SEMPER FI, Sgt. Martinez, rest easy Hero.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Martinez family and friends in the loss of Glen. I did not know Glen, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. 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. Glen 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
Tom

"TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS
OF THOSE YOU LEAVE BEHIND
IS NEVER TO DIE"
~Robert Orr~

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt Martinez and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Martinez!

First and foremost, I want to thank Glen and his wife Melissa for making it safe for me as well as my family to walk down any street in this country that I choose to walk down each and everyday. I knew Glen well, we grew up together and spent a lot of time together in High School. It was very shocking and still is disheartening to think that the next time I go back to Monte Vista for Stampede or just for a visit; that I won't see Glen walk through the doors with that unforgettable smile on his face. He truly was every word that has been written about him and more.
I recently overheard a group of people our age talking about the war in Iraq and whether or not we should be over there. There was one guy (with a brother currently serving in Iraq) who quieted the conversation with this brief but so true statement. The speaker quickly stated that he was not going to get into the politics of the war but that when talking about our service men and women we should all remember this... "A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his/her life.' That is what honor is and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact."
Ron, Carol, Lori and Melissa- take the time you need to heal. I cannot pretend to know or even imagine the pain that you are feeling. Hold your memories close to your heart and take comfort in the fact that Glen died doing something he believed in. Glen is definitely a hero and it should make you proud to know that he had the courage to fight for something he believed in, which is more than most of us will ever have the courage to do in our lifetime.

Thank you, Sgt. Glen E. Martinez, for saving my family, the nation and the world from terrorists. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate your bravery, dedication and sacrifice. I would also like to thank your family for raising such a fine man.

My deepest condolences and prayers to you and your loved ones this is such a loss for you're family, and his sacrifice is deeply appreciated. My hopes thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you.

To the family and parents of Glen I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you.

Melissa, I want to thank you for being a strong Marine along side the four awesome. I am so thankful that Casey had such a dynamite Marine Sgt. to mentor her. I know he took real good care of her. If I could ask her about Glen she would say he is so awesome Mom! and his wife is great too. Stay strong and no hesitations if I can do any thing for you or the family. I will always have you in my prayers and thoughts. Thanks for your sacrifice. SEMPER FI Mother of Lance Cpl. Casey Casanova Paula Carruth

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

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 Glen, 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 your family find peace in knowing that this country appreciates the sacrifice this young man made so that we may continue to be safe and free. Thank you, Sgt. Martinez.

It was a great pleasure to have served with Sgt Martinez he is a great friend and an even better Marine, God bless the Martinez family. Sgt Stapleton

Dear Martinez Family:
We want to extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. Our son is serving in CLB-1 Security Co with Sgt. Martinez. We appreciate his service to our country.

To the family of Sgt. Glen Martinez: Our deepest sympathy to the family. What great Marines we all have and are so proud of. My boyfriend, Brian Weaver, is the proud father of Lance Cpl. Drew W. Weaver who died on Feb. 21, 2008. Please feel free to contact us anytime. We know your pain. God Bless and Semper Fi.

I was one of Sgt. Martinez' Drill Instructors in Boot Camp. He was our Guide, honor man, and one of the best recruits I ever had. Please accept my most sincere condolences. This is the first recruit I have ever lost and it saddens me deeply. It hurts worse because he was one of my favorites and he was an awesome guy! He was older than everone else and his maturity showed. He was a great leader in our platoon. He will be missed. Semper Fi, Guide.

i just want to let the widow know that my thoughts and prayer are with her as we are going through the same thing.... may all the marines rest in peace..

Dear god,
please watch over all the families that are deeply sadden of the lost of their loved one on that may day .

I would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to the family of Sgt. Glen Martinez. Please know that Glen’s dedication and sacrifice for our country will not be forgotten. I know that freedom has a price and Glen paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thank you Glen, you are a hero.

Ron, Carol, Melissa, Lori, Brett, Lexi, Spencer & Martinez Family ~ I will never forget Glen's wonderful spirit and smile. I will never forget all the times we played "mommy" with Glen when he was a toddler. I will never forget all the slumber parties that Glen crashed when we were younger and I will never forget how kind and wonderful Glen was as a person. I am honored to have known Glen. I am honored to have been a part of the Martinez family as I was growing up. Thank you Glen for all that you were and all that you became......may you rest in peace. Martinez family, you are so loved by many. Please know you are always in my thoughts and prayers. Please stay in touch! God Bless all of you.

Ron, Carol, Lori, and Melissa--I am so sorry for your loss. When my son found out he said,"Mom, I didn't know Glen but if he is half the man Ronnie is that is a huge loss!" He was son!
Thank you to you all- you made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we all tend to take for granted. You will be in our prayers! God Bless! Love you!
Thank you Martinez family.

To the Martinez Family. I am so sorry for your loss. Glen was a good friend of my family, especially my brother Josh. they graduated high school together. I remember Glen going into my wrestling practices when i was younger and showing us his moves. He was a great person. A friend anyone would want to have in there lives. God Bless.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. My son is serving with CLB-1. Our love and prayers are with you now.

To the Martinez family,

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Glens' memory in your heart and please remember he shall 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.

I want to give you my deepest condolences for your tragic loss. I lost my son Sgt Blake A Harris on March 5 2007, he was my only child. He left behind a wife Joanna and a son Jonah 3 1/2 yrs. Im now a member of Gold Star Moms so along with other moms we walk the walk together. Sincerely, Deborah Harris-Pueblo Co

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I hope this finds the family doing well. I was a navy Corpsman stationed with Glen for almost two years. During that time I have many memories and I will be honest I can not remember any with him not smiling or being happy. We played Golf together and talked about sports on just about everyone of our meetings. Glen turned out to be a great person and a friend for me to be around. I remember during the first deployment to Iraq when things were tough we knew we could talk to each other and all would be better. Sgt. Glen Martinez you will be missed, my thoughts and prayers are with his wife Mellissa and their families. May god Bless. Remember once a Marine always a Marine. Semper FI.
