Spc. Jocelyn Carrasquillo was known among his friends as a joker, a great dancer and a relentlessly upbeat person. "The world could be falling apart and he''d find something positive about it," his friend Chad Clark said. "When people pass on, others always say, ''They were smiling.'' But he was." Carrasquillo, 28, of Wilmington, N.C., died March 13 when his convoy hit a land mine in Iraq. He was a member of the National Guard based in Wilmington. "He was having a good time, fighting for our country. He was definitely not scared to be there," said his older brother Luis Carrasquillo. "Joce" Carrasquillo had served in the National Guard for seven years while working and studying occupational therapy and massage therapy, and deployed for the first time three weeks before his death. He volunteered his skills at nursing homes in his free time, Clark said. His twin brother, Ronald Carrasquillo, has been stationed in Iraq for more than a year.

Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Jocelyn L. Carrasquillo US Army Specialist.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made...

This Memorial Day (like all others) did not pass without me thinking of your loved one, "Joce", who I knew from Sam's Club. I always chose Joce's lane at checkout, as he had such a presence... kind, respectful... everything you would have wanted others to see in your son/loved one.

Joce touched many lives; please know that he will is remembered.

Thing of Joce today and everyday. My sorrow for his loss.
