I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

I served with Anthony Salas in the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton in 2005. When on liberty, we would get together with our wives and explore the city. One of my most fond memories is when we rented a boat in Oceanside and drove it around the harbor. At one point, we jumped off and swam but quickly got back in after a feeling of uneasiness around the sea lions. I'm sure our wives doubted our bravery as young Marines, but the memory always makes me smile. He was a good man and will be missed greatly. I lost contact with him after exiting the Corps, but he is still my brother. We will pray for him and his family.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.
I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
