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 Ismael.

Dear Sp4 Ismael Mendez, I really hope your photo is put here because this is a wall of faces and yours should be here too. Thank you for your service as an Unit Supply Specialist. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. POW/MIA Recognition Day just passed, and yesterday was the first day of autumn. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
