"Que puedo decir. Wechan y yo fuimos muy buenos amigos. Nos conocimos en la Escuela intermedia el era y sigue siendo el mejor de los amigos. Conozco a toda su famlia. Juntos compartimos mucho. El hacia camping con nosotros en la finca de mis papas nunca olvido que el hizo una columpio en un arbol en la finca era un columpio que cuando te tirabas quedabas a muchisimos pies de altura(ya el columpio no esta, pero alli esta el arbol con pedazos de la soga que aguantaba el columpio). En high school estuvimos juntos en el air force junior ROTC. El siempre supo que eso era lo que el queria y aunque ya no esta con nosotros en la tierra, esta espiritualmente y en nustros corazones. Siempre fue un heroe. Yo se que el se encuentra con papito Dios y es uno de esos angeles que nos guian por buen camino. Tengo un video de la ceremonia que se realizo en honor a Kelvin aqui en Puerto Rico. A veces quisiera verlo pero aun no he podido verlo. Se que nos encontraremos en la otra vida.

"Mi amado Edjun:
En estos tres años que mañana 28 se cumplen, he aprendido que así como dice la biblia: "Estimada es a los ojos de Jehová la muerte de los santos"
(Salmos 116:15) tu muerte no fue en vano. Al pasar de mi vida, he aprendido que la muerte es vida también. Ahora estás en el cielo adorando al Señor, y que lindo saber que su palabra en ti germinó.....así que cuanado pienso en ti, siempre le doy gracias al Señor por que estas con él y algún dia, todos los que amamos al Señor, te veremos y le adoraremos juntos. Ojala que todos los que me puedan leer, sepan que solo en Cristo hay paz y seguridad, y que estás en el cielo, porque reconociste a Cristo en tu vida. Siempre te recordaré, y nos vemos prontito!! Se que el Señor vendrá pronto por su Iglesia.
Ven Señor Jesús!!"

"I did two tours in afghanistan each a year and I spent a total of six and a half months at FOB Orgun-e.I was stationed there with platoons from 3/504th PIR.Gutierrez from what I know was a good soldier.I never sat and conversed with him during my stay at Orgun-e,but when I'd see him around the camp he always said hello.It was obvious that he was a good soldier by the way he carried himself and the respect that he got from higher up as to the other soldiers in his platoon.I was there the day the convoy left to do a routine patrol.The day before the memorial for Kelvin everybody at the camp was affected someway somehow and it was obvious.I stood front row in the formation and I lost count on how many people I heard crying while they paid their respect to him.The moment when they did roll call and played the reveille really hit alot of people hard.That day will never be forgotten.My heart goes out to his family and know that he really made a big impact on alot of people.My condolences to his family and stay strong.18th Airborne Corp

"The greatest sacrifice a hispanic soldier can do is to separate from his family. Especially, from the ones left behind in our native countries. However, the feeling of just knowing that our families have the freedom to enjoy life thanks to our service in the military fills our hearts of pride and motivation. It gives us a reason to work harder and be the best at what we do. Soldiers like Specialist Feliciano-Gutierrez are the reason why the United States is the greatest country in the world. The diversity in the Armed Forces today has helped us realize that we are on this together, and it give us the deepest feeling of pride and strength to fight for the freedom we love.

To the Feliciano-Gutierrez family I want to give my deepest and most sincere condolences. Specialist Feliciano-Gutierrez will always be a heroe in the hearts of the American people. Especially, in the hearts of the hispanic and latin American soldiers that served and continue to serve today in the Armed Forces. May God have him on his glory and continue to give all of you strength to understand your lost and his gain. Never loose your FAITH!!!"
