I'll be thinkin about you everyday....your soldada A1C Strawberry Cruz January 19 2007 Acdaela Valencia La Última Inspección El soldado se paro y miro a su dios, Que todo el tiempo tendrá que pasar El deseo que sus zapatos brillaran Brillante como un latón "Adelante ahora soldado, Como voy a tratarte? Has volteado la otra mejilla? A mi iglesia has sido puro?” El soldado se puso sus hombros cuadrados y dijo, “No Dios, yo pienso que no Porque nosotros que cargamos armas, No todo el tiempo podes ser santos, Y e tenido que trabajar muchos Domingos Y a tiempo mi vocabulario ha sido muy fuerte, He tenido que quebrar sus mandamientos dios, Porque el mundo es muy duro. Pero nunca me quede con ningún centavo, Que no fuera mío para quedarme Aunque trabaje mucho tiempo de más, Cuando las cuentas se acumulaban mucho. Nunca le negué la ayuda a alguien que la necesitara Aunque a veces tuve temor, Y algunas veces, Dios perdóneme, He llorado lagrimas que no son de hombre. Yo se que no merezco un lugar Con la gente que esta aquí, Ellos nunca me quisieron, Nomás para relajar sus temores. Si tienes un lugar para mí aquí Dios, No tendría que ser muy grande Yo nunca esperaba o he tenido mucho Pero si no, yo lo entiendo.” Hubo silencio en todo el palacio Donde los santos muy frecuentemente andan Donde el soldado esperaba calladamente, Para su juzgar de dios “Adelante ahora soldado, Haz vivido tu vida bien Camine en paz en las calles del cielo Haz hecho su tiempo en el infierno” Lidia Oceguera Alex I miss you so much. But I am So proud of you. You are my hero, not a day goes by that I don't miss you I am sorry for Crying but it makes me feel better. January 4, 2007 Lidia Oceguera The Final Inspection The soldier stood and faced GOD, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shining, just as brightly as his brass. "Step forward now, you soldier, & How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My Church have you been true?" The soldier squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't. Because those of us who carry guns, Can't always be a saint. I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was tough. And sometimes I've been violent, Because the world is awfully rough. But, I never took a penny, That wasn't mine to keep... Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got just too steep. And I never passed a cry for help, Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, GOD, forgive me, I've Wept unmanly Tears I know I don’t deserve a place a among the people here. They never wanted me around, Except to calm their fears. If you've a place for me her, LORD, It needn't be so grand, I never expected or had to much, But if you don’t, I'll understand. There was a silence all around the throne. where the saints had often trod. As the Soldier waited quietly, for the judgement of his GOD. "Step forward now, you soldier, You've borne your burdens well. Walk Peacefully on Heaven's Streets, You've done your time in Hell." Pfc. Oceguera |

| ASSOCIATED PRESS 10:29 a.m. November 7, 2006 SAN BERNARDINO – His high school guidance counselor was surprised when Pfc. Alex Oceguera became a soldier. Oceguera was in the Junior ROTC at Montclair High School but he never expressed any interest in an Army career, counselor Joe Reynaga said. “I was kind of shocked to hear that he went into the military after high school,” he said. The 19-year-old San Bernardino native was killed when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb in Afghanistan on Oct. 31. Two other soldiers also died in the blast. Oceguera was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division out of Fort Drum, N.Y. Oceguera's moved from San Bernardino to Montclair when he was a child. He was a June 2005 graduate of Montclair High School. Reynaga said Oceguera was an “average but hardworking student” who like practical subjects such as auto shop and photography. “He was the nicest kid. He was always really polite,” Reynaga said. “He was the type of person who was not very outspoken. But he had real manners. It was always, 'Yes, sir' or 'No, sir.“' Oceguera held the Army Commendation Medal, the Afghanistan Campaign Medal and the Combat Infantryman Badge. He is survived by his parents and a sister. |
