"James,
Not a day goes by when I dont think of you you were a great friend who I lost contact with and I had no idea where you were but when I picked up the paper to see your face on the front page I knew that the world had lost a wonderful person. I thank god every day that I got to know you. you impacted my life in a way I don't think you will ever know. I will alway miss you and I will never forget the friend I used to watch in the boxing ring and talk to in the library the day after the fight. You always did your best in the ring and I'll miss talking to you about it. I wish I could say Goodbye and get one last hug but I know you hear me when I pray for you at night. I miss you and will always remember the real HERO. James J. Arellano"

I love you, brother, with all my heart."

"I couldn't begin to tell you how proud I am to be the cousin of PFC James J. Arellano. Our hearts are saddened by our loss, but in time God will heal. God blessed all who knew James just as God blessed all who didn't know James...because James gave his ultimate sacrifice for EVERYONE, whether you believe in the war or not. He died for our right to be able to choose. That is something that will NEVER be forgotten. There has been a tremendous amount of support to our family by so many wonderful people that I would just like to say, on behalf of my family, "Thank you & God Bless you." Your kind words, comforting actions, and heartfelt prayers have not gone unnoticed, nor will they ever be forgotten. James may have been my younger cousin, but I will never stop looking up to him. He is my hero. Rest in peace, James, your mission here is over. You're a soldier for God now. I'll be seeing ya when I get there! Love ya!"
