"Spc Ramirez,
WE DID IT! My team and I rucked with 40 pound rucks for 26.2 miles through the Smokey Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I did this all while wearing your name on my wrist and your weight on my back.
It was all for you. We have honored you in the best way we know how.
Always praying for you and your family,
Elizabeth

Elizabeth Bradford of Bowling Green, Ohio
"Spc Ramirez,
About a year ago, I bought a bracelet on herobracelets.org.. I opted to get a random name of any soldier, I received one with your name on it. I thought earlier about telling your family somehow that I'm wearing a bracelet with your name on it in honor of you, but was shy.
Now, I'd like to proudly tell you that I wear it when I am training for a marathon ruck march. This ruck march (Moutain Man Marathon March) was started by the University of Tennessee in honor of one of their fallen alumni. I am currently a cadet in Air Force ROTC and some friends and I have come together to participate in it. It requires a lot of hard work and training, and many people think that I won't be able to do it. I want to prove them all wrong. With my hard work, I'm dedicating it all to you, since I'll wear that metal bracelet bearing your name while I train the next few months and during the event. This is the best way I feel I can honor you.
I know we don't know each other, but the more I think about it, the closer I feel we've become. This is my way of letting you and your family know that while I put in my hard work and train to become an officer in the world's best Air Force, your memory is never lost and I will always remember your name and what you've done for your country.
Thank you."
Elizabeth Bradford of Bowling Green, Ohio
"It was good to spend time with you Nacho and our talk did me good.It has been a difficult time and I don't think the next few months are going to get any easier. I just can't say enough how much we miss you and that a day doesn't go by without us thinking of you."

"We miss you Nacho. There is an emptiness that has entered our lives and no matter how hard we try we cannot fill it or replace it. You were a one of a kind and will never be forgotten.As said may a time:"Thank you for bringing sunshine into our lives.""
Dave & Inge Durrance of Rosbach, Germany
"To many people these are just days on the calender, another day, another month, another year - but to us these days are moments in time forever frozen to the deep reminder of how much we loved you, how much you meant to us and how very much we still feel the emptiness in our lives having to go on without you. To all those who loved you and for whom you loved, you were like a light in the darkness and we just moths - drawn to you in a way that was a feeling of necessity. Although we go on without you there is still that feeling that we all just go forward in the dark without your light. After recently re-reading some of our last emails to one another it just seems so ironic that for the first time since we had met you you had seemed to have made this beautiful transition from boy to man, so filled with purpose and maturity. Don't get me wrong you were forever the silly and crazy kid we first met but somehow in the final moments in your life you had seemed to be filled with desire to become the kind of man you knew you could be. We will forever be thankful for the time we had with you but forever be heart broken that that time was cut way too short. You touched so many people in such profound ways that I just hope somehow you were able to know that after you left. For so long we struggled with many questions left unanswered when you past and now on days like these we wonder "What could have been?" And, for those who still wonder I know the answer its "What should have been! " You deserved so much more in this life! You deserved to be able to go on, get married, have children, have a career doing what you loved most and sharing your art with others. But, that was snatched away and all we can say is we know What Should Have Been! We love and miss you not just on these dates but everyday. Your light might be gone but the af terglow it leaves is still as beautiful and as bright as it has ever been because we keep the memory of you alive in our thoughts and hearts. On this, the third year we have had to mark your birthday without you the indelible mark you left on our lives is even more stronger than ever! Happy Birthday Mr Macho Nacho!"
David, Lori and David Morales of Henderson, NV
"The darkest day of our lives has come again for the third time and no matter how many years pass it does not get any easier.We stll do not know why and we never will, but we cherish every memory we have of you and this is something no one can take from us, no matter how hard they try.We take every day as it comes but it will never be the same without you.Having you as part of our family was and still is an honor.We miss you Nacho."
David & Inge Durrance of Rosbach, Germany
"Ramirez aka Nacho. I am fouding myself laughing out loud when most find it hard to carry on. I remember you coming to PT formation with those crazy colored Nike running shoes. SGT Sadiq used to make me look at you and see if I didn't like the shoes. He would say Eller is Ramirez in regulation standards with those shoes. I actually loved the shoes but I remember saying to myself Ramirez must be on crack to wear something like that. I would laugh everytime I seen you coming to formation. I remembered playing basketball and you could not dribble nor shoot the ball then after a few months went by and you had grasp the concept of playing basketball. Sgt Sadiq and I would always say he is going to be the next Mexican Michael Jordan then we would say but who is the first. These are only 2 great memories I have listed but brother I have plenty more great ones. We were all family in HQ platoon 1SG Mosites (great guy),SGT Sadiq, Lappost, Diaz, you, & I. You haven't died in my eyes you just got a bigger place in my heart that will live 4ever. I love you and may God keep you in his arms 4ever."

"Lieber Nacho!
Bin heute mal wieder bei meinem Bruder und habe die Möglichkeit ins Internet zu gehn. Ich finde diese Seite eine gute Einrichtung,weil so habe ich,bzw. auch Andere die Möglichkeit doch in Kontakt mit dir zu treten, auch wenn du eigentlich gar nicht mehr da bist.Habe gestern mit Lamia gesprochen,ihr ging es gar nicht gut,du fehlst ihr so und mir natürlich auch. Diese große Lücke die du hinterlassen hast,kann niemand ersetzen. Und auch wenn jetzt ein neues Jahr begonnen hat,ändert das nichts an dem Geschehnen. Ich versuche Lamia etwas aufzubauen, weiß das du immer in ihrer Nähe bist und nicht gewollt hättest,daß sie sich aufgibt. Ich werde weiterhin auf sie aufpassen,das versprech ich dir,aber ich weiß auch,daß du das auch tust.Auch wenn das jetzt blöd klingt,aber irgendwie hoffe ich,daß es dir gut geht und auch wenn du das hier nicht lesen kannst,hoffe bzw. denke ich,daß es dich doch irgenwie erricht und du spüst daß du in unseren Gedanken und in unseren Herzen weiterlebst.

"Lieber Nacho,
es ist für mich paradox Dir zu schreiben...Dir auf dieser Seite eine Nachricht zu hinterlassen...denn die Realität hat meinen Kopf noch immer nicht erreicht und sie wird ihn wohl auch nie erreichen! Für mich bist Du weiterhin geistig UND körperlich auf dieser Welt...daher fällt es mir sehr schwer meinen Verstand einzuschalten und die passenden Worte auf "Papier" zu bringen.
Ich möchte Dich nur um eines bitten:
Pass bitte auf meine Lamia auf, sei wachsam und halte Deine schützenden Hände über sie. Werde ihr Schutzengel, denn sie hat es verdient wie keine andere!
Ich bin unendlich glücklich darüber, wie sie versucht, positiv weiterzuleben und in die Zukunft zu blicken, auch wenn es ihr sehr schwer fällt. Trotz vieler trauriger Momente kann sie wieder lachen und das macht das Leben lebenswert...Du kannst sehr stolz auf sie sein!
P.S.: Vielleicht kannst Du meinem Hund, der seit Sonntag im Hundehimmel ist, ja mal nen Besuch abstatten und gucken wie es ihr geht. Darüber wäre ich sehr dankbar.
In Gedanken...Steffi"
Stephanie Dankerl of Köln, Deutschland
"Bis heute habe ich keine Worte für das finden können, was geschehen ist und es ist immer noch so schwer. Ich schreibe auf deutsch, da es so wenigstens ein bisschen leichter wird. Nacho, du hinterlässt eine so riesige Lücke auf dieser Welt, vor allem in Lâmias Leben. Auch wenn du in vielen Herzen ewig weiterleben wirst, so wird dein Leben niemals zu ersetzen sein. Ich selbst habe dich leider nichts besonders gut kennen lernen können, was mir wahnsinnig leid tut. Aber es hat mir sehr viel bedeutet, dass du gerade an meiner Hochzeit aus dem Irak zurückkommen konntest und ein bisschen bei uns warst. Wenn ich mir nun die Bilder anschaue, auf denen du zu sehen bist, kommen mir sehr schnell wieder die Tränen. Wer hätte wissen können, dass du am Tag danach in den Irak fliegen würdest und nie mehr zurück kommen würdest..... Ich habe dich als so sympathischen jungen Mann kennen gelernt, ich werde dich nie vergessen!"
Anja Nickel of Mayen, Germany
"Lieber Nacho!
Heute ist der 24.12, Heilig Abend.Während ich mich früher eigentlich immer darauf gefreut habe,ist es dieses Jahr anders.Es ist soviel passiert und gerade heute muß ich viel an dich denken. Ich wünschte du wärst hier bei uns und vorallem bei Lamia,du fehlst ihr so, und mir auch! Gerade heute an so einem Tag kommen eben alle Erinnerungen nochmal bsonders hoch. Ich war am Montag mit Lamia auf dem Memorial von deinem Freund Gibbs. Ich kannte ihn zwar nicht,aber ich wollte Lamia zur Seite stehen und dachte mir in gewisser Weise auch,daß es in deinem Sinne wäre, das wir dort hingehen, weil du es ja leider nichr mehr kannst. Natürlich kamen da nochmal die Erinnrungen an dein Memorial hoch, und der eine Offizier hat auch deinen Namen erwähnt,darüber hättest du dich sicherlich gefreut!Das einzig "Positive" daran ist,das du jetzt nicht mehr alleine dort oben bist,denn alleine bist du sowieso nicht, wir sind immer bei dir im Herzen, aber da oben hast du jetzt einen guten Freund bei dir,und das ist gut zu wissen!
Ich wünsche dir Frohe Weihnachten Nacho, und denke diese Tage besonders an dich!
Ich vermisse dich. Deine Rine*"

"My english is not good enough to express what I'm thinking and feeling. And I think not even my German would be... Just can say that I can't believe what happened, how definite things can be and how hard and real this war really is. We did not know each other very well, but it wasn't neccessary to recognize how special and "big-hearted" you were. I was so happy to know you at Lamias side. I'm sure you will be with her forever and live in her and our hearts and memorys forever. Would love to change situation. But I'm only able to be there if I can help..."

"Nacho, you were a bright and shining light in our lives. You brought so much joy and kindness into our family and was always quick to remind us to hold tight to the ones we love. You were such a beautiful and talented young man and your art will live on forever as a reminder to us that you are always with us. We miss everything about you! Your crazy sense of humor, your slow crooked grin, your big brown puppy dog eyes and most importantly the way you made us feel! You were such an important part of our family and now there is such a deep and gaping whole left here. I know that we always said it but I hope you know that we loved you so and was constantly praying for you. I hope that you now have found peace and happiness and I long for the day when we all will be reunited. Til' then sweet boy, our love is with you."

"Lieber Nacho!
Endlich komme ich auch mal dazu dir bzw. deinen Angehörigen besonders natürlich Lamia eine Nachricht zu hinterlassen.Leider schaffe ich das noch nicht auf Englisch,weil mein englisch etwa so gut ist,wie dein Deutsch war:-)Was keine Kritik sein soll,denn dein Deutsch war wirklich gut.Das was passiert ist tut mir so furchtbar leid.Ich denke du hattest so viele Pläne,gerade mit Lamia und du warst noch viel zu jung um zu sterben. Ich konnte die Nachricht von deinem Tod nicht glauben und auch heute noch fällt es mir sehr schwer zu realisieren daß du nicht mehr da bist und auch nie wieder zurück kommen wirst. Ich habe dich immer sehr gemocht.Du warst lustig und wir haben uns trotz der kleinen Sprachschwierigkeiten immer gut verstanden,manchmal auch eben ohne Worte.Ich kannte dich immer nur als lustigen,lieben Kerl und trotzdem wußte ich,welche Angst du hattst in den Irak zu gehen. Dennoch hat glaub ich jeder der dich kannte nicht im Traum daran gedacht,daß so etwas Schreckliches passieren würde!Ich hoffe nur für dich,daß es dir da wo du jetzt bist gut geht und du immer ein Auge auf Lamia haben wirst.Ich kann dir nur soweit versprechen,daß ich immer für sie da sein werde,auf sie aufpasse soweit mir das möglich ist, aber auch dafür sorge,daß sie wieder glücklich wird,weil ich denke daß das in deinem Interesse wäre.
Ich denke sehr oft an dich,und du fehlst einfach in unserem Leben. Wenn ich zum jetzigen Zeitpunt einen Wunch frei hätte,wäre der ganz klar!
