May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

Tony, I finally had it in me to write you! When I found out about your passing, I was like what Tony Gonzales? The football player? Man, I didnt want to accept that you were gone, but I knew they were talking about you. I tryed so hard to think of how you were posed to be here with us, but I am not mad. You are in a better place now. I remember the first time we met. You were in Bryan's barraks and you heard me say "hella" you came up to me and was like "hey you, your from cali arent you?" and I just smiled and said yes. We talked about how there's no place like Cali and Bryan kept trying to say Louisiana was where its at, lol. I believe the last time we talked, we were posed to meet up in Cali one day if I made it back from Germany before you did and we agreed. I never thought that this day would come, but I cannot even start to imagine what GOD has in store for you now. Just rest Tony and welcome to the good life! If you see my hubby up there, let him know that I love him so much and I cant wait to see you all again one day!!

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

To the Gonzales Family,
My deepest sympathy to all of you in "TJ"'s family. I never forget that we are "at war" still and our young men and women are dying to keep us safe. It seems at times people get lazy about remembering that fact.
My heart breaks for you in the loss of your son, as I truly understand how you feel. My young 19yr. old son and his good friend were killed 7/1/06 on Hwy 99 in a car accident. Losing a child, no matter what the situation, is horrible.
I have my strong faith to carry me through the days and nights, but I won't tell you its been easy, or that its gotten any easier, because its very hard.....but with all God's grace and the Angels holding onto me, I've made it another day.......and you will too !
Your son was so very brave and I thank him and you for the price that has been paid, and I never forget our fallen heroes who are in heaven's holy army now.
I hope you can find peace in the memories you have of TJ.
God Bless you and keep you.

There is no greater Gift, than for a man to Lay Down his Life, for another. Your Son has done that for so many. To say Thank you would only begin to scratch the surface of what your son and the so many others like him have done, who have given all they have to give to all of us.
I know that there are people who do not believe in the mission, whether you believe in the mission or not, Tj’s sacrifice will never be forgotten by those who know him and love him. He will live on in the hearts and minds of those who love him.
I served in a mission I first did not believe in. I spent a year in Bosnia and was bitter about being separated from my loved ones to make sure that these 3 nations played nice. As a soldier I did my job no matter what my personal beliefs were about the mission. It wasn’t until I, (through the Grace of God) found out what the mission was all about. I was in Army Aviation and got to see that beautiful country from the air and on the ground. Our Blackhawks were too big to fit into most of the base camps throughout the US sector, so we would land outside of them. It was there, in the Tuzla Valley, I met my Mikey. Mikey was a 7 or 8 year old boy. The happiest boy you have ever met, always smiling and laughing wearing his shorts and a thin t-shirt, no matter what the weather. Mikey was missing half of one of his arms and had shrapnel wounds all over his body. His brother had lost both of his legs. They were playing in their yard when they hit a land mine. My mission was for Mikey and all the other Mikeys in Bosnia. Your son’s mission played a big role for all the Mikeys of Iraq.
It is my prayer that Tj met his Mikey. Our hearts go out to you and your family.
God Bless,

I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Tonys' 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.

Dear Tony and Marlynn,
My name is Kevin Graves and I have walked in your shoes. My son, Spc Joseph A. Graves, was killed 25 Jul 06. I pray that the Lord is wrapping His arms around you and comforting you, the way He has done me in the past two years. The pain never goes away but, with the help of Christ who strenghtens us, it becomes manageable.
I feel your pain and a unique closeness to you family.
My son was raised in Newman from 5-9 years old. His mother still lives there.
Also, your son's journey home occured on what would have been my son's 24th Birthday.
My most sincere condolences,
Proud father of 'A True American Hero'

I still hurt each day, but still remember that Dus was proud to serve his country and loved working his companions.
I still await his phone call, but know one day I will receive that call when our Father has the Reunion for us.
He is a Hero and has joined the many fine Heroes guarding the gates of Heaven.
I pray for your strength. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice.

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 Spc. Tony J. Gonzales our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Tony. And to Tony 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 Iraq. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Tony, you are a brave 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 1,409 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Tony’s family and loved ones.

Tony, I just wanted to say thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation, a nation in mourning for our fallen heroes. 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 every fallen soldier and 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 Tony and from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the nights we at home were able to sleep without fear and know that we are safe because you and your fellow soldiers stood watch. To the Gonzales family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Tony and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another!

My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Tony Gonzales as you begin this painful journey. My husband brought the paper in this morning and showed me the headlines and I cried to know that another family has to endure the painful emotions and heartache that we came to know on Feb. 13th 2006 when we got the news that our son, SFC Chad Gonsalves had lost his life along with 3 other brave young men. You will be in our thoughts and prayers from now on. If ever you need to talk to anyone please contact me. I live in Turlock. If possible I will attend the services for your son. May God give you the strength and courage to face the days ahead and just remember what a hero you son is. That's what keeps me going. I remember that Chad told me to just be proud of him if anything ever happened to him. And that is exactly what I do. The years since his loss have not been easy and I doubt they ever will. Life will certainly never be the same but knowing my son, all of our sons and daughters lost to this war, are the greatest of heros helps me to heal. Surround yourselves with family and friends and remember those truly special times. God Bless each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
