Javier G. Paredes

Your absence is 18 years long. I recall the moment I read your obituary and your life story affected me greatly. Well, you're now in God´s arms, safe. Let's just supposed God granted you another opportunity to return to earth, I pray that your new life has been rewarded with love, patience, kindness, and compassion. T. Araiza, wife of Ret. USA SFC Toby Araiza

I went through Medic School with Javier. He was a fine individual. I was saddened when a mutual friend told me about his death.

It´s your nephew uncle, Anthony Carlos son. I have very little memories with you but the ones I do have I´ll cherish forever. I want to thank you for all you did for me while you were here. You were the only one to care for me. I´m 21 now with 2 boys ,I´ll make sure I tell them about you uncle . I love you and your the reason I´m proud to have my last name.

I can believe 14 years has passed. A lot has changed but somethings will never change. My memory of that day in the elevator you told me how proud you were to have enlisted is so vivid.
