Comments For "SPC Roberto L. Martinez Salazar":

To Specialist Salazar's family I send you my heart felt thanks for raising such a fine upstanding young man that he should dedicate his life to protecting ours! With all my heart I offer you my sympathy and love, for this young man was just beginning his life, so young, and yet in his short time he offered us more than 10 or more men... the opportunity to sleep safely at night and know we were safe from harm while he was on watch. Thank you so very, very much for your heroic son! -Matthewsmom

Roberto Martinez S. was more than a cousin he was like a brother "carnal". I dont know why God decided to take him but, even though he is gone we will always remember him, and its hard to except that he had to go. He was a True Soldado all the way from LONG BEACH. And I know he is watching over me now but still I miss him. Now all I have is the best memories of my life and I will remember them untill I die and see him again. So Rest In Peace "Beto". 84-06 Just know that we all miss you and hope to see you soon ese.
