Manuel, you were one of the brave that answered the call. You honored us by your service and sacrifice. We now honor you each time we stand and sing the words “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”. Rest in Peace and Honor Maneul.

Dear PFC Manuel Gonzalez-Maldonada,
I hope your photo is put here because this is a wall of faces and yours should be here. Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. I did the research on your 74th birthday, happy birthday. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Epiphany. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I had a photo of you while joking with others in our company. I don’t have it any longer but your smiling fade is forever in my mind.

Manuel,

We served together with A Co. 2nd Bat. 16th Infantry. You were a great person, low key, did your job! Thank you for your service and sacrifice! You are fondly
remembered! Rob Lennon, Sr. A 2/16 Inf. First Infantry Div.
