| In Loving Memory of Sgt. Joseph L Gallegos |
Joey, He did not write his name in the sand for the waves to
wash it away…. He did not write his name in the sky for the
wind to blow it away. What he did do is write his name in the
hearts of people and that’s where he will stay.

To the family of Joey,
My heart is filled with sadness for the pain you are all suffering in
losing your, son, brother, uncle, cousin. There are few words
anyone
can say to you, to help fill the void and pain you are suffering. I
pray and ask God that he help each of you endure this pain and
that
he help you carry this oh so heavy cross he has given you.
May God keep all of you in his loving arms.
My love and prayers to all of you
Viviane Medina

I just thought that I would say that Joey was very special
person, when I moved to
Red from Texas, and was the ONLY white girl in the bunch he
never gave me crap
like everybody else. Joey you are forever in my Heart. I am not
going to be able
to make it tomorrow, but I will be there in spirit. GOD BLESS
YA'LL.

My sincere condolences and prayers go out to the Gallegos
family during this time of grief. I know that Christ is there with us
in the midst of our most difficult moments. The Lord's strength
will uphold you and allow you to go on. The greatest thing I've
learned is that our God is faithful. Here's a video that I 'd like to
share God placed it on my heart when I heard about Joey.http:

being and an awesome friend. I had the honor and privilege to
serve with Joey and Ronald a number of years ago. We were
the only three Gallegos’ in the unit. I am humbled to have known
Joey. My friend, rest now in the Lord’s Glory.
To the Gallegos Family, remember, that he is now in peace.
Believe that today will bring you courage, and that tomorrow will
bring you hope, and may God’s peace give you strength and
comfort. Joey will spending Christmas with Jesus this year. Merry
Christmas my friend, tell Jesus Happy Birthday for me. You all
