Quoc Binh Tran Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
As a young man, Quoc Binh Tran wasn''t into sports or school in particular. His hobby was cars. When they broke down, he loved to get under the hood. That''s not to mean he was any good at fixing them. "He made them worse," admitted his sister, Kristie. Tran, 26, of Mission Viejo, Calif., died Nov. 7 after the vehicle he was riding in was struck by a roadside bomb outside Baghdad. He was based at San Bernardino, Calif. "He was a hands-on kind of guy," said Tran''s other sister, Katie, 23. "He would try anything, often even until it hurt him. He was a loving person but very independent and one who would go into anything and not think twice about it." Tran graduated from high school in 1994 and attended Saddleback Community College, where he studied to become a mechanical engineer. Tran liked to go shopping in exotic places and mail presents home to his mother; in September, she received a teapot. When he was home, he would insist on paying for meals for his family. "He is the most generous person," said Katie. He is survived by his parents, Van Tran and Thu Truong Tran.

What was striking was the uniform testimony from everyone in his unit about his humor and hard work. You really made an impression on folks, Spc Tran.

In Memory of Quoc ~ (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 laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Quoc, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
