Hey buddy! I was shocked when i heard what happened. Its not quite fair, it feels like just yesterday you and I were meeting each other at Parris Island and took protein bars out of the bottom footlocker of the firewatch post and ate them in the rack. Good times brother! I miss you man, I think about you everyday. I'll see you in heaven someday devil dog!!

Jessie, i just wanted to say i thank you for defending our country and making us safe. you gave your life doing what you loved. and i miss you so much but i know you are in a better place. i know that being a marine meant the world to you and thats why you done it. i did not know that the first time i saw you would be the last. when i saw it on tv i said to my self " thats not you" and i found out it was. and i miss you so bad. and i know you are looking down on everybody and you are in my heart and everybodys heart. And i know that you will never be forgotten. God has you and you are safe.

Jessie, I just wanted to say thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation, a nation in mourning for our fallen hero’s. You like so many other soldiers chose to serve our nation when needed most and with your life you protected the very core of what America stands for. My nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward also made that sacrifice on 5/6/2008 when he was killed in action in Iraq. As I mourn for my nephew I mourn for you and so many other brave soldiers and please know that you all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers, we as a nation will never forget you. I stand tall and salute you Jessie and from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the nights we at home could sleep without fear and know that we are safe. To the Cassada family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Jessie and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Since the loss of my nephew I have written on every single legacy page of every fallen soldier and included a photo of my nephew. I encourage you to do the same to Aaron's page. I have done this to honor my nephew but to let you know your loved one is not alone and my nephew is with him and they are now in God's gracious hands waiting for us to join them one day. From the bottom of my heart please except my sincere condolences and may the memories of your Hero carry you through each day for he will never be forgotten!

Hey. when are you guys gonna get more pics of Jessie?

You have my prayer and sympathy. My fiance is still over there with 3/8, he is India Co. and all of us feel the pain with these losses. God Bless.

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love,
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

From our military family to yours, we would like to thank LCPL Jessie Cassada for his service and sacrifice to this grateful country, as well as send our deepest condolences for your loss.

To the Cassada family,

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Jessies' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.

...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

My deepest condolences on your tremendous loss. My son is in the Navy, while it's not the Marines, we're really all in this together. Please remember you're not grieving alone, others are grieving too, especially when a young life is taken. Without brave men like Lance Cpl Jessie Cassada, America would not be the great country it is today. God bless!

My son is currently deployed to Afghanistan and was at the same base as your son. I would like to offer our condolances, as well as those of our son. Although words can never express our sorrow for you and your family at this time, take pride in what your son was doing and who he was, a Marine. There are many people in this country who are eternally grateful to him for serving and ultimately giving his life for us and our freedom.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to L/Cpl. Jessie Cassada our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jessie. And to Jessie it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing terrorist forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Jessie, you are a brave Marine Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,405 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Jessie’s family and loved ones. Semper Fi !
