"To RJ's family,
I served with RJ in Iraq and numerous other places in our 3 years together and I felt it necessary to write you and tell youhow I felt. I went to a school with RJ and the guy had me cracking up for the entire 2 weeks. We actually ended up going to 2 more schools together and I wouldnt give up those times for anything. RJ was an oustanding Marine and a pleasure to be around. I wish you the best and know that we also have not forgotten RJ."

"RJ this is the letter that your brother send you the day before we loss you... You are his hero and he is so prod of you. Have been hard for him but he is doing better and better.
Dear RJ,
I'm writting you this letter because I feel like it. Do you remember all the good times we had together?, well let me refresh your memory. Do you remember that we used to play baseball together? or when we played hide-and-go-seek. I was wearing army camo, and I hide in the tree. You could never see me. I had to come out and tell you were I was. Remember when you raced me to dad's truck?. I was on the four wheller and you were on the bike. You beat me. How did you go so fast? I still have you San Francisco 49ers watch. Just in case that you want it back. We moved to Oklahoma and I love the school. Dad says that I'm the most popular kid on the school. I have a lot of friends and a girlfriend. Mom and dad say HI. I miss you a lot and I can not wait to see you again.
Love, your brother Romulo Enrique
