Rocky H. Herrera

Rocky, my brother In arms. I am sitting here in Alabama right now just thinking of you man. It has been a very thoughtful night where I am at. I was laughing out loud to myself how I would play pranks on you in our living quarters in Afghanistan. Its been years since your passing and it is still the toughest thing to move on from. Watch over us Rocky like the fighter you are. Until we meet again brother.

This goes to the family of Specialist First Class Rocky Herrera.

Traci,

You can't begin to know how shocked I was to find out about Rocky. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you and your family. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you.

Herrera Family -
Rocky still comes to mind when I think of my boxing brothers and how the years have not diminished the comraderie we had - taking on all comers and preparing for the fights. Rocky was one of the best, always prepared and undaunted - and that is the way he lived. As soldiers say, he paid the ultimate sacrifice for America, so all Americans can live free, secure, and unaffraid to express their thoughts.

Please accept my remembrance of Rocky on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

its memorial day and i just been thinking about you cory and bryce i miss you my brother stay safe up there.

Rocky; It has been just over three years since I gave you my salute and a gut wrenching goodbye to a great leader and brother at arms on that warm fall day at our small dessert base. I have been blessed with this day to again sit and visit with you (if only in my memories) and think of how much you meant to everyone you came in contact with. I am proud to have served with you and to have had the blessing of seeing how much you cared for those of us around you. Though you are missed you...

I toast to you, Rocky. I miss you so much. I cannot believe it has been 3 years. It feels like 30. Today is a sad gut wrenching day for all of us. I hope that you see us and feel how much we love you and miss you. I hope you also liked everyone singing you happy birthday, even if it wasn't your birthday. Visit me in my dreams so we can hang out even for a minute.
I love you brother!
