We Americans must never forget you soldier. A brave warrior bringing freedom & hope to those who had none. They will never forget you either. It was not in vain.

Dear PFC Jack Ornelas, Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Lent has begun. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I knew Jacks brother Anthony ( The WEDGE as we called him ) Better then Jack . Both Jack and I were Car guys I would think about he would build them. When I would see him in his 32 Ford with a hot chevy engine i would wave and he would wave back. We both were quiet in our own way . We both went to Thomas Edison HS in Jamaica NY . At that HS they had a special auto mechanics program That Jack loved I visited the shop like a fly on the wall . My program was mechanical Design so we were in different classes . Later after graduation 1967 I learn jack join the Marines . Thomas Bayes a good friend of Whitestone NY also join the marines that same year . In 1968 Tommy was killed and 1969 Jack and Killed Two beautiful Man .I really only knew them both a short time and that makes me sad . I think of often of jack special since i am restoring an Old 1957 Cadillac Biarritz sure wishJack would be close to help me figure things out. I just hope he will give me thumbs up and approve the Job I have Done . Maybe its in his honor , Thank You Jack i hope My life is worthy of you sacrifice Love You Jim
