i look back at my time in the army. all those beautiful times with the most amazing people. people like Emmanuel Legaspi. SSGT Legaspi makes all the difference in the world with the most subtle actions too. Even though i didnt know you personally i recognized an incredible human in you. Ill never forget those smiling eyes of yours. reaffirming, calming, ensuring and enduring. those eyes spoke that everything is going to be alright.
here it is 6+years later and youve still left a mark. a mark that will no doubt be forever on me. indelible. i decided to look your memorial page and find that you were an Olympian. Your legacy is expanded in my eyes. when i have children to call my own i will a true American hero. with the utmost admiration the highest reverence and with due honor, i salute you sir.

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Your departed veteran who gave his life in the service of his country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son he may share in the joy of Your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in You with Your saints forever.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.
