Cpl. Jose A. Paniagua-Morales, 22, of Bell Gardens, Calif., died March 7 in Balad, Iraq, of wounds suffered in Samarra, Iraq, when his vehicle encountered an improvised explosive device. He was assigned to the 4th Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, Fort Lewis, Wash.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and fellow soldiers.
I am so sorry for the loss of this fine young man and a HERO Cpl Jose A Paniagua-Morales.
I pray you will continue to be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength.

To Alex's family: Know that you are in my prayers and that I ache for your loss. I pray that you find comfort in the knowledge that your son now rests in God's house. He is a hero and will surly be missed.
I am the mother of one of his close friends. He and my son sky-dived together and I believe my son visted CA with Pan.

Alex will truly be missed by everyone who knew him, it is very hard to believe that he's really gone!! I know that spiritually he is still here but it's hard to accept. It feels as if he was just here, he flew in from Iraq in January and it was great to have seen him again and talk to him, hear him laugh, see him act silly!! WOW it's surreal. He is in a better place now!! RIP soldier! You truly are a hero, and you will truly be missed by all of us!!
Our deepest sympathy and prayers to the family of Cpl Paniagua-Morales. We share in your grief as we also lost our beloved hero, Sgt Christopher Sanders, January 9th, 2008. It is a pain we all hope to never experience. Our children will forever be American Heroes and we will never let their sacrifices be forgotten. With shared grief, Kelly and Marie Sanders
