Hey buddy,

I hold the time we spent together close, you're a great man. I am truly honored to call you a friend, and you are always on my heart and in my mind.

you taught me a lot, and it's funny i can almost swear i hear you telling me "don't to do it" when i am about to do something foolish and stupid.

I prey with all my heart that God found you well.

Today we honor you, we miss you Bro!

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 Daniel, but I am remembering
his service. 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.

Dear Daniel, It's been almost a year since your untimely departure from us. I think about you all the time, and it brings a smile to my face thinking of all the good times we had...doing land navigation with no mosquito repellant, or dismounted patrols through enemy territory or listening to similar tunes, thinking of the fun we would have upon our return to the Bay Area...
I saw Duenas before he left for California, and as soon as I can, I'm coming to San Jose to visit you.
I'm sorry I haven't talked to you, but its been difficult not having you around. You meant so much to me and the rest of the section. Alex and I talk about you all the time. Everyone has gone their separate ways but the Airborne FISTer bond will always be there. I love you man, and your death will never be in vain. My family thanks you for the ultimate sacrifice.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Reyes!

Thank you for the courage, strength and sacrifice in order for us to live in the land of the free. Although I did not know SPC Reyes, I feel a bond because of his passing along side my friend SGT Brad Marshall. Thanks to Gina(Brads wife) I proudly wear a braclet in memory of Daniel and Brad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God Bless!

I am Daniel's commanding officer. Not a day goes by that Daniel and Bradley are in my thoughts. These two men left such an everlasting impression of what an American Paratrooper means to me. My heart is heavy with grief for Rebekah and Gina (Marshall) for their loss. Daniel and Bradley will always be heroes in my heart and the heart of Hawk Battery. We will never forget.

My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to the family of Daniel Reyes. Thanks for your Soldier's Courage, Service and Dedication to our Country and Freedom.
The price he and his family have paid, will never be forgotten.

To all of Daniel's family and friends: I am Gina Marshall, wife of Sgt. Bradley W. Marshall. Brad and Daniel lost their lives together on July 31. I understand they were good friends and both shared a love for the Army, USA, and Family. My heart aches for you all. I would do anything for Daniel and Brad to be able to return with the unit. Our family will always have a bond with yours. I will search some of Brad's pictures and let you know if I find any with Daniel. Love always, Gina

This one goes out to my fellow brother in arms, Spc. Reyes the way I new you. I know every single day after work or P.T we would hang out, and thats what makes me honored to have a best friend like you! I know that in these hard times you watch over your family and friends like us. I will never forget my Battle brother, yes that one guy that in the coldest days in alaska's cold training to the hottest days in iraq, you would always, laugh and make me smile or laugh no matter what kind of day we had. I love you bro......
Spc. Duenas, Erwin

Rebekah,
First of all, I would like to give you my heart felt condolesence to you and your family. I had the honor and privilege of working with Daniel. He would come in my office to ask a question about a situation or to give a suggestion of how we could do things better. He always demanded the best from himself and it brought out the best in all of those that were around him. I remember one of our last conversations; he was going to introduce me to his wife and his son. Rebekah, even though I never met you, I feel like I almost know you by the many conversations that Daniel and I had about the Army and family. He was more than a soldier, he was a dear friend and he is dearly missed. I apologize for taking so long to write, believe it, or not, I was afraid. I didn't know how you would respond and I didn't want to cause any more hurt, pain, and sorrow to what you are already going through. I just simply wanted you to know that we loved him and that we miss him. May God continue to comfort your heart during this time of tragedy and loss. Know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Cedric Moore

i love u uncle daniel

To the parents of Daniel, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

My heartfelt sympathy to the Reyes family in the loss of Daniel. I did not know Daniel, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Daniel you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Spc Reyes and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
