The eldest of five children, Rudy Salas loved to run and would sprint home before he could be picked up from school. Maybe it was an early form of basic training, since he always wanted to be a Marine. "Since he was little, he liked the Marines," said his mother, Elida Salas. His brother Sammy said Salas "always tried to influence me to go into the military." Cpl. Salas, 20, of San Bernardino, Calif., joined the Marines in 2001 after high school and was based at Camp Pendleton. He was killed May 20 in a vehicle accident in Anbar province. "He died a hero," his mother said. Other survivors include his father, Rodolfo Salas.

In Memory of Rudy ~ (Debra Estep)

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...

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Cpl Salas!
