"Julian was a dear friend of mine, more like a brother.From day one, upon being stationed together, we hit off. Then, we went to Field Medical Service School and assigned to the same unit in Hawaii. But, I never made it over there due to a previous injury to my leg. He called me right before he went to Iraq, I just told him to pray and be safe and that I love him becuz I felt like it was going to be my last time talking to him, come to find out he found God over there. So, now, he's in a better place. We miss you brother, be blessed!"

Your death has had the greatest impact on me than any other lost in my life. A good friend is hard to come by nowadays and it hurts to know that I lost one. I don't know if you hear me or not but I still talk to you bruh but obviusly I don't get an answer back. I'm currently in Idependent Duty Corpsman School and it tears me up everything I go down belong to the quarterdeck and see your picture posted on the bulkhead. At least once a week I go down before and clean your frame. I can't have any dust on your picture bruh. When I'm out there running or humping I always think of you when I feel as though I can't go no longer and that motivates me not to stop and I never do. Thank you bruh, thank you for all the good times we had in VA, thank you for taking me to Florida for my 1st time, to a state that I have fallen in love with, thank you for keeping your word when you said you was going to make sure I was straight in VA., thank you for having a positive impact on my life. I love you bruh and the LORD knows I will never ever ever forget you Woods. Until we meet again, GOD bless you my dude and I can't wait to the day that I'm bless to see you thick mustache and smiling face again.

"Hello, Me and my husband knew of woods personally. The day we had heard what had happened put us in great shock. My husband couldnt sleep for days and would have dreams of SNOOP as we called him. I remember him as my LOOK OVER buddy, brother. I remember first meeting him in okinawa, japan, when they had a liberty. We all went out to a night club, and my husband left my side for a slight moment. He stood there watched over me, to make sure no harm came to me. I remember when they came back from deployment back to Hawaii, how him along my husband other friends would come over on weekends as my family puts on this huge bbq.He is a good man. Now he is at peace. If any of the family memebers are reading this, please try to reach us, We are in Jacksonville, FL now at NAS JAX. We never had the chance to give you and your family our deepest. We also have some pictures we would like to share with you."

"Wow, I never thought it would be you. I spent 2 of the best years of my life in Portsmouth, VA. Julian lived right next door. Well when he was home. I worked on the ward with him for a year. The best part of our nights where when we would go down to Julian's car and smoke. We would go sit in the parking garage in the middle of the night and just chill. Sometimes we talked about life and sometimes we tried to set off car alarms with his beats. To Julians family I am truly sorry for your loss. Julian was a great man and excellent corpsman. All those that knew Julian will forever remeber him. Rest in Peace Julian."
HM3 Adam Clayton of Camp Pendleton, CA
"I met Julian when I checked into Portsmouth as my first duty station. He always seemed to have a positive outlook on life and never took anything for granted.

"Snoop- seems like only yesterday when we were in corps school, and then a couple of years later Doug and I were picking your skinny * up from the airport in hawaii.

"Snoop!! I remember when we gave him that name. There are no other words to descibe this good fella of ours. He was the kindest and most hardworking person i've known. Even though he didn't like what he was doing, he did because it was his job and dedicated himself to his marines and to his country. Today I leave the middle east. And there is no day that I wake up and still remember "Snoop". I remember the first time I saw him and I remember that last time I seen him. Julian "snoop" Woods, you are always a loved friend and true brother to all of us. Where ever you are, You are always remembered. I'm proud to have served with you and WE will always miss you."

"To my hero (that here in hawaii we knew him as James or SNoop)I have spoken to Woods right before his departure to Iraq. He was a little frightened because he worried for saving the life of others. I told him he will be an all time hero. He also told me he strongly believed this war was for the oil. Now Woods would always be remembered as someone who placed his friends first. Here in honolulu, hawaii we will always remember our boy. May the lord bless and be there for his mom and family out in FL. also be there for his daughter as well as the mother of the child. Im praying for all of you as well as all the friends who knew Woods. WE MISS You Woods!!"

HM1(FMF)Harry Kennedy of Camp Pendleton,CA
"Julian was...no is my best friend. I don't think of myself as losing him because you never really lose anybody. They always have a place in your heart and as long you hold on to the memories they are never truly gone. Julian was my ex-boyfriend in high school and even though we broke up he always remained my friend. When I joined the Army, he didn't have any objections to it. When I found he joined the Navy, I always thought he would want to be stationed in Jacksonville. But I see that Julian had other plans. He liked his job.
Yes it makes me sad to think that I will never see him again. That my day will never be brighten again by his wonderful smile. That I will never get karate chopped in the throat again. (It always made me dizzy, but always made me laugh). But even though I will never experience these things again, I know he is waiting for me. That he is looking down on me and my family.
To his family who is like my second family if you ever need me I'm here. Your son/brother/cousin/nephew/grandson was someone special to everyone's life he has touched. He will be greatly missed not just by me, but by everyone.
Love you Julian,
Love Meka"

"James....imma miss this guy sooooo much!! Along wit Pua...he was our party guy. all of us became so close it was like a second family. reading all these messages makes me cry..but i shouldn't because james wouldn't want that. it is said in the bible that the greatest honor is when a man gives his life for fellow mates, i know he's in heaven watching over us. I pray for his family that they find peace along with his wife and 3 yr old child. Imma miss that smile God bless!"
Paris of Honolulu, Hawaii
"I knew him as james. I guess u could say he was 1 of my party buddies. He was the most funnest person to go out to the club with. (and the rest of u party guys in Iraq, Im praying for u.) Everytime I saw him he was always smiling. I could never see him without it. When I heard that all the guys that we hung with was sent to Iraq, I never thought that any of them wasnt coming back. When I heard Julian passed away it was a complete shock. I still cant believe it. All I have to say is he was such a fun person to be around. He would always make u smile. Rest in peace and I think he is a true Hero for fighting for this country. Now he can make all the people up in heaven have a good time."
Pua of Honolulu,HI USA
"Words can never express the gratitude one feels when someone lays down their life for another. Julian was a very good friend to both of my younger brothers. It grieved me to have to say "GoodBye". He spent many holidays at my home eating lots of food and playing video games. He would play with my children as if they were his younger brother and sister. At times my home was the place for so many of my brothers' friends to hang out, but Julian was not just a friend. He is a brother! His last name should've been James 'cause Chad and Evrett definitely claimed him as family. When he informed us he was joing the military I spoke against it. I was worried that something like this would happen. Julian knew what he wanted out of life and he knew where he wanted to go. I'm glad that he followed his dreams and did what made him happy. As for the rest if us, Julian will always remain in our hearts and the wonderful memories will always be there. Julian, thanks for all the good times and laughs. Thanks for being a devoted friend and a loving brother. We love and miss you! Mrs. Woods, keep your head up. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Only God knows what Julian truly wanted and what he really felt about where he was. I thank you for raising such a respectful, generous, loving and brave man. He has brought joy to so many lives and the impact will remain forever. God bless you and your loved ones. O.J. and Alexis, hold it up! You two have shown so much strength through this time of sorrow. Thank you for helping us to cope with such a tremendous loss. We truly appreciate it. We know you miss him too."

He was a sweet person that always had a smile on his face. I'm so proud you have known this true hero and thank him for stepping up to defend his family, friends, and country. Without people like Julian, this country would not be the wonderful place it is. Julian, you will be truly missed."
