Josh was happy. He was outgoing, always had a big smile. Everything was fun...Even cleaning the house was fun. It was like a game.
—Sara Mattero, mother
Soldier. That was his life. And he was a good soldier. A good son. Twice a week he called. When I talked to him, I told him always, 'Watch your back. You are in the war.'
—Tony Roque, father, in the Long Beach Press-Telegram
His joy of life, his smile, could light up a room. He just had a zest for life that was contagious.
—Bunnie Jacquay, mother
He loved it. He always used to say it's an army of one because it was like a big family.
—Leroy Harris Jr., father
He was a very, very special guy. He is going to be missed.
—John Incontro, LAPD Captain
I can't wait anymore; it's time to go.
—Joseph Spence, to his family after the attacks of 9/11
He told me, 'My mission is complete. I'm just training the guys to take over here.'
—Richard Perez Sr., father
He wasn't G.I. Joe. It was a career choice. He joined to support his family.

He was a great soldier.... Everybody I ever talked to loved Ryan. He's missed every day. He's going to be missed for the rest of our lives.

He was a very positive influence to his fellow soldiers in Afghanistan. His friends liked to talk about the one guy that he would always remind to wear his gear. He really looked after them.
