To the family and friends of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ruel M. Garcia:
It has truly been my honor to sign Ruel's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Ruel will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

In Memory of Ruel ~ (Debra Estep)
January 19, 2009
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 Ruel, 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.

I was very sad to hear that Mr. Garcia's bird was shot down. I was with B Co. 1-4 Avn. when we went over the first time. It was an exciting yet scary time.

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 am Deeply Saddened to learn of the loss of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ruel M. Garcia, one year ago today.
The price this Fine Young Hero and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.
May Ruel rest safely in the Loving Care of God and may the Peace of the Lord be with the Garcia family.
There will never be enough ways to humbly thank these heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee."

May the Peace of God and your memories of Ruel, remain in your heart always.
May this give you comfort and strength through the difficult days.
You are in my thoughts and prayers and I am deeply sorry for your loss.

To Apol and to the parents of Ruel, Mr and Mrs. Garcia,
MY family and I would like to express and share with you our heartfelt and deepest sorrow and sympathy over the loss of our beloved Ruel. I just want to let you know that there are a lot more people whose life had been touched by this great man who mourns his passing away. But with that mourning, great pride among us sinks in--for he died a hero's death. Not only from us who knew him closely but in my opinion, brought pride to all Filipinos. No doubt that he will always remain in our hearts and minds forever. I pray that the Lord will grant you, and the rest of Ruel's circle of family and friends, peace; and may He comfort you all in this time of need in Jesus Christ.
Ruel's Kumpare,

We want Garcia family to know we continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. While we did not know Ruel well, we still have fond memories of meeting him this past summer when he and Rex flew into our local airport. Ruel is our hero too. God bless Ruel's family and all our soldiers in harm's way.

To the family of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ruel Mamaril:
We do not know each other, will probably never meet but will be forever united in the loss of our sons. Please know you are not alone, my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and allow you to get to the point where a memory provides comfort and a smile rather than only the tears that flow so easily now.
God Bless this Man.
