Delgado,
I received a message today from my battle 1SG Alex Brownstein that he was set to visit you tomorrow and if there was anything I wanted to leave with you. I had nothing, except admiration to send with him. In 18 years I have never heard a single thing about you that wasn´t the best of who you were. You are truly blessed.

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we have just sent Care Packages to deployed troops and several of these were dedicated to your loved one. Each package carries the name, photo and hometown of Marc A. Delgado US Army Specialist.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

As I sit here, I am fondly reminded of the legacy that Marc has on the 170th MP CO. as I arrived the Company I along with other Soldiers were given the task by at the time 1SG Sterns (now CSM 18th MP BDE) to goto the wall and look at the Soldiers whom adorn that wall. it was then our task to go through the Company and learn everything we could from members of the Company about your detailed Soldier. You were not allowed to use the internet or any other means but word of mouth. This is one of many ways that the true meaning of a legacy is carried on.. Every member of the unit in one way or another could tell you something about one of those Soldiers, i hope that this tradition is still held to this day however, i know it was probably soon forgotten after CSM Sterns parted ways.. i hope that his legacy never fades as i know it will never leave the sacred walls of the 170th Military Police Company.

Marc, another year gone, another year that you have been greatly missed! Not a day goes by that I don't think about you! I don't think the hurt and pain of loosing you will ever cease. I find peace in knowing that you are in a better place and watch over us all from above but, selfishly I wish you were still here with us. I miss your smile and your hugs! I love you Marc!!
November 24, 2012
It has been 7 years since you were taken from me. It has not gotten any easier. I still miss you so much.

Marc,
Today is your birthday and I still can't believe your gone! There hasn't been a day that has gone by that I haven't thought about you. Wondering what you would be doing if you were here with us. I miss you more then words can ever say. There have been many times I have wanted to call and talk to you and then I remember that there are no phones in heaven so I pray and talk to you. Even though you are no longer with us you have helped me through so much. When I'm having a bad day I think back to basic training and think about how you always made me smile or gave me a hug when I needed it the most. I love you brother! Happy Birthday

Marc,
I've spent the better part of my night reading all the loving words people have posted on here about you. I was just really thinking about you today. I went to Macdill today and as I was at the gate I thought about you. Random things remind me of you. Anytime I see anything about high school football, you are my first thought. I miss you. I miss your genuineness and your sweet nature. You were truly a gentleman and I will always appreciate that about you. Thank you for being the big silly guy that I will remember forever.
Miss you so much!

Marc,
I never got the pleasure of meeting you, however, I do get to spend a lot of time with your younger brother Bryce who has a lot of your spirit in him :) I get to hear all about the man hunt stories, going out stories, and how much he looks up to you, and Just the recent decision of him Joining the Navy (well over a year ago but finally getting basic done and over with :) ) I spent Memorial Day with him we went out on the town and he wore his Dress whites in your honor, This being my first year in the military, it was special to me to be able to spend it with Bryce and talk about you, and everything you did. I really enjoy all the things he tells me about you because he lights up when he talks about the things you two used to get yourselves into.. haha. You sound like an amazing Person, Thank you for everything you've done for your country, Thank you for being an awesome big brother to Bryce. Your very loved, and dearly missed by everyone whose lives you have touched. You'll never be forgotten.

Marc, I hope this doesn't post twice but the last one didn't show up(you know me and technology lol). There are many memories to share of you but one that I always cherish was when you and I were pulling tower guard duty. We started freaking out when it got dark out because we thought someone was breaching the wall and it ended up just being tumble weed lol. You are a man of Honor Marc and a special friend!! I love you and you will forever be in my thought and prayers! RIP Marc

It has been five years since you left this earth and went to be with God. Life has changed so much in these last years. I miss your hugs. I miss the sneaking in at home. You thinking I didn’t know you had been smoking because you always took your shirt off before you came in so I couldn’t smell it. I knew. Moms know those things.
I can’t help wondering what kind of man you would be today. A great son I know. Married? Children? A great soldier still in the service for his country? I pictured you as a career soldier.
Losing you has really left a void in my life that will never be filled. I miss you more than anyone can ever know. I try to stay busy so I don’t dwell, but there are many days that I just want to pull the covers over my head and let life pass me by. But I know I can’t. I have to live life because that is why God created us.
I am so proud to be your mother.

My Dearest friend Marc. It will be five years now and still your memory shines strong in my heart. Through the sorrow of your passing comes the shining legacy of your memory. As I crossed the finish line at the Chicago Half Marathon, the people, the experiences, and the memories flashed in my mind. You were always the example of courage and valor. The strength of a bear, and the heart of a lion. You are and will forever be remembered my brother in arms.

Marc, there's a new movie that came out called brothers, and honestly the entire movie made me think of you. I'm so proud of you. People see the sticker on my truck everyday and ask me about you and I am proud to tell your story. I'm joining the navy and i leave october 4th. although its not as brave as you, i still want to serve my country and this helps me improve my life. I miss you with all my heart bro. So many memories i have of us linger in my mind and my heart. No amount of force on this earth can make me forget you and the ultimate sacrifice you have given for this country and for me to be able to live. I love you with all my heart. I hope youre having the time of your life right now and i hope to see you again someday.

I just sent in a picture to be added as a photo in your gallery. I had a memorial tattoo added to my back for you and SSG Reynolds. Your names, the date and the angel wings that carried you both away are there. I had 30 stars added after that, 10 of them sooting stars. The 10 stars signify the 10 people who were out on mission with us that day and the 30 stars are for the people who were in our platoon.
I think about you everyday, I know you're watching over us all, sitting in the clouds hanging out, drinking a mountain dew and smoking a cigarette with SSG Reynolds. I miss you so much and I know I'll see you again one day.

My third Memorial Day. It has not gotten any easier. I miss you so much and sometimes don't know how to go on, but I am reminded everyday of how life just goes on anyway. Your brother is having another child, your best friend is going to be a dad, but most times I just think about the fact that I will never have your grandchildren to hold.
Life goes on. Sadly, but it goes on.
All my love

Memorial Day weekend is here and I think of all the people in my life I have lost.
To my cousin,
Althought we did not know each other to well, I still think of you and honor you for your courage and sacrifice. While I was in the ARMY you were in class. When I was raising children you were being a teen. When I came to visit you were fighting a war. Bro one day we will meet again in the mean time enjoy the view and the serenity of heaven. Thank you for serving our country and I'm proud to be a DELGADO, your cousin,and a VET.
Love,
Derek
Best wishes to your brothers, mom, dad and the rest of the family.

Yes, one more year has passed and yet this day for us all brings remembrances, sadness and moments of second guessing our choices and/or actions. I honor you for who you are and wish that there could have been a proud day where I could have met one of the men/soldiers/friends that meant so much to my daughter and all. My thoughts and prayers to your family...
November 24, 2008
Marc my brother, I cant believe its been another year. I remember it like yesterday when i used to walk into your room and u would be playing x-box with a grin on your face or seeing you throwing people over your shoulder and lugging them around the hallways. I miss you bro...I made some choices on this day 3 years ago that I wish I could change. I always ask myself what would have happened if I would've put you in the copter instead of your gunner. I'm sorry... everyone has always said that militarily speaking I made the right choice but there isnt one day when I dont think about it. I love you bro and i hope that your at peace. May you be living in gods blessings.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Marc, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Another year has come and gone. I don't have the words to say what I want to say, there is no way to express how I feel, I feel like I barely knew you when it happened and yet, I would have gladly traded places with you.

Today is a day that I take very seriously now. The flag, our National Anthem, and our freedom mean so much more to me because of you. I can never say the pledge of allegiance with out thinking of you and the gift of freedom you helped give out country. I am a teacher now and when we have prayer time in my classroom during Bible, my students thank God for the freedoms that they have. Even at a young age they know what the cost was for us to enjoy the privilege of learning about God in a Christian school. Thank you so much for your sacrifice. You are thought about often and missed greatly. Thank you so much again, Marc!

It's hard to think that another year has passed without you here. Getting together with the family for holidays is never the same anymore. Its hard not seeing you and thinking about how much we all miss you, but it is nice to see how many people love you so much and will never forget you or what you did for our country. Happy Birthday, I'll love you forever and will always be proud of my amazing cousin

I read the updated signing of your guest book often and I always look to the right to see your picture. I can't believe it. It is heart breaking each time I think of how your not here. I kick myself to think that I should have wrote you emails more often. I know I will see you in Heaven. I can't wait till that glad day until then I know you are looking down watching over everyone. Thank you, for your service. You are my hero.

I miss and love you Marc. I kick my self everyday because i never told you how much I love you. Those words mean so much to me now. But now is too late. You have already left and I won't be able to speak those words to you until i see you again in heaven. I get goosebumps everytime someone says your name or even if anyone mentions war. Mom is afraid I'm going to join the military like you and Eric, but truthfully, after what happened to you, I dont know if i could ever do it. The thought has crossed my mind, but to be honest i would never have the courage to do it like you did. November is not the same anymore. Its hard to go see the family without you there. Everyone puts a smile on just to make it look like were not upset, but sometimes I cant hold back the tears. As long as I am on this earth and you are in heaven, there will always be tears for you. I keep thinking about all the times you have protected me, all the times we have laughed together and all the times we were mad at each other, but now thats all I have of you is memories. Memories of you is what keeps living day by day and not wanting life to end. I am not worried about seeing you because I know that I WILL see you once again, i just have to wait for my time to come. When that time comes I will accept it because I know I get to see your face again. Until that day my heart, my soul and my love grow for you. Watch over me bro because I will need your help.
I got this tattoo in January of '07, this reminds me everyday of who i have lost. This tattoo will forever be imprinted on my body just as Marc will forever be in my heart. I love you bro and miss every second of every day.

Marc my brother, 2 years to the day... I still think about you and steven each and every day. Every day I replay what happened and ask myself if there was anything I could've done differently to change the outcome of things. I guess only 3 people know that for certain; God you and steven. I'm sorry. May god have you sitting at his right hand and may you have found peace at last. You will never be forgotten my friend, Rest in Peace.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I thought I left you some love the other day, but apparently I didn't do it correctly. Marc, I miss you so much. I think every day about you and Steven and wish that I had done something differently. I try my hardest on a daily basis to do things that would make you two proud. I have to say, lately I've been slacking. I owe you two everything, you guys are what gives me my will to go on. Watching the both of you on a daily basis be so strong, never ever showing the slightest signs of ever wanting to give up. I never told you this while you were alive, and I kick myself for it every day, I love you. Now I realize that you were like a brother, we fought, but when we needed to we stuck together and got our crap taken care of. I can't believe it turned out like it did... Rest in Peace man, I'll see you once again I have no doubt about that, save me a place on a nice cushy cloud.

A year and a half later and you are still in the national spotlight. Bro, you are in Newsweek once again. You are still making an impact, nationally and locally. Me, Dad, Lisa, Stephanie and Matthew went up to see your tree at Ft. Stewart, GA. You still make us proud, everyday. Till we meet again.

Hey man...we never met...but we will eventually. I'm stationed on a sub with your brother, and heard about what happened. I just wanted to leave my condolences for your family. God bless man, and thank you for unquestionable service to our country.

It is so hard to believe your gone. Everytime John and I watch smackdown, I think of you and laugh. You were one of my greatest friends. I tear up every once and a while to think of a funny story we shared or a joke. So many times I want to sign online and talk to you on AIM. It's wierd, I still look for you online. For the first time ever, the song "God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood made me cry because I instantly thought of you. I miss you.

Marc,
I miss you so much. You were my brother, my comrade, and so much fun to be around. You were my thunderchunk, and it seems like only yesterday we were battling each other on your PS2 in the barracks. I miss you, love you, Chelsea Costas

It is still so hard to believe that you are gone. A year today and it has not gotten any easier. I am still so sad. I cry everyday. I just keep going, but I wonder how. I know it is the prayers of our family and friends, and that God has to be watching over me. Otherwise, there is no way I could make it through each day. I hurt so much inside.
You were a brave soldier to fight for a people to be able to enjoy a freedom that they have never known.
I love you Marc. I probably never told you enough. I miss you so much.
Until I see you again, love forever, Mom.

I am Deeply saddened to learn of the loss of Pfc. Marc A. Delgado, one year ago today.
The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
May Marc rest safely, in the Loving Care of God and may the Peace of the Lord continue to be with the Delgado family.
There will never be enough ways to humbly thank these heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.
May the Peace of God and the memories of Marc,
remain in your heart always and give you comfort
and strength through the difficult days
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

Mark, It's hard to believe it's almost been a year already it seems just last week we graduated from Basic and AIT. and then went to FT. Lewis together. Then seems like in the blink of an eye I was saying goodbye to you and the rest of our company and telling all of you to hurry home. I will never forget the last time we talked you told me I owed you a beer because you just turned 21 in Iraq. I miss you and you will always be my hero

I honestly do not know what to write. Marc was my brother, my friend and he is my hero. Everyday that i go out to his grave i just sit there and stare at his stone thinking how much i hate sitting there and how much i hate myself for letting him ever join the military and be sent to Iraq, but now that I think about it, I don't hate myself for it i just didn't know what else to blame this on but myself. I see now that Marc wanted to go into the military, even though he may not have wanted to go to Iraq, he still wanted to do his part in helping keep our counrty free. I get choked up like ther's a rock in my throat evertime I hear anything about the military or i watch a movie where a soldier dies and now that it is veteran's day tomorrow and Thanksgiving i coming up really soon i just feel like breaking down and crying and I want toblame myself all over again. My family and I have that love for each other which is unbreakable and Marc will always have my love and he will always be in my heart because I love him and the things he did for our country. i never would have thought in a million years that MY brother would be the one on the news for being killed, never ever, but now I have to live with the fact that he is gone, I will never be over the fact that he os gone but I have to live with it. Marc I love you and it hurts inside of me to think that youre gone away from us, I will always love you and miss you for the rest of my days and I will see you one day at Heaven's pearly gates.

Well, it has been 4 months and it has not gotten any easier. I miss you every hour of every day. I can't even listen to Enya anymore because it reminds me of you watching that Mr. October or November movie with me and then telling me you liked that music. Then going and buying the CD. I still can't believe you are gone. Even though you weren't perfect, as none of us are, I miss you. I don't have anyone that can hug me like you did. I can hardly plan my wedding because I just think that you will not be there. I am so happy that Marty was able to meet you when you were home on leave during the summer. I miss you dearly. Until we see each other again...Love Mom

To the Family of Pfc. Marc A. Delgado:
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.

I will forever remember Marc for the great friend that he was. I knew Marc from high school. Just about every weekend we would all go out and do something. It didn't matter what it was it was just something to do. He was always the life of the party. He always loved to give everybody big bear hugs. Marc is one of the greatest friends I've ever had. He would do anything for anybody. He really was good man. Because of this I know for a fact he was great soilder. I will always remember Marc for the great person he was. I miss you buddy.

My deepest sympathy to the Delgado family. As the mom of a deployed soldier, I know the worry of each day while they are away. I met your son about a year ago at Ft. Lewis, Washington thru my daughter Ashley, Marc's platoon leader. She was so proud of Marc and the great job he was doing. My husband had the honor of being at Marc's funeral. I have thought about you every day and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

I will never forget the day that I found out what happened. I was looking thru the Saturday paper and I saw the headline but would never in a million years think that it would happen to someone I knew. I went to Providence Christian with Marc for 4 years and he was always so nice to everyone. I am very proud of him and am sorry to hear what happened, but we all know that he is in Heaven and loving life even more with the Lord. My prayers are with you.

Let me start by saying that it was a privilege and an honor knowing and working with Marc on a daily basis. I first met Marc during basic training (C Co. 787)he wasn't in my platoon but we became fast friends. On our passes we would hang out and gab for a while, when I got bad mews right before grad. he was there for me with arms wide open and a shoulder to cry on. After grad. I left for Ft Lewis, Wa and a few short weeks later Marc followed. I was almost shocked to see him at first. But I was also very excited. After he came to my unit 170th MP I found out he was coming to my plt. I thought this was awesome and assured the plt. sgt that he was a great soldier, and he never let us down. Marc I miss you a lot you were always here when I needed you. To the Delgado family all I can say is I am truly sorry for your loss and I miss that there was something we all could do to help ease your pain. Please don't hesitate to let all of us know if you need anything. Please let me know personally if there is anything I can do 253-273-6613. PFC AmyLou Bitt (Reagan)
This is one of my favorite pictures of Marc from our deployment. I took it early in the morning right before we went on a mission together. You made me proud, buddy. - LT J

I had the sincere honor and privilege to be Marc's Platoon Leader for over a year. He was one of my favorite Soldiers and I was able to go on countless missions with him as my driver. Marc had a smile that would lighten up a room and a never quit attitude that made me proud as a leader. He used to sing on missions at the top of his lungs and always doubled checked that I was wearing my seatbelt. Marc and I shared a special "secret" salute that he created and whenever I think about it, it makes me smile. I will never forget his optimism, his hugs, or how much I watched him grow as an individual and Soldier over the past year. To his family- your son was a model Soldier... the kind that leaders dream about. You did a fine job raising him. I will never forget you, Delgado. You and SSG Reynolds are my heroes.

Marc was a wonderful young man that had a heart as big as he was..I don't think there was a time that when I saw him he didn't have a goofy smile and a sweet spirit. He was a true hero not only for our country but his testimony for the Lord.. We don't fully understand why the lord called you home to be with him at such a young age but we do know that the Lord is the one with the blessing now. Our hearts and prayers are with your family at this time..You will forever be missed...

My family and I grieve with Ron, Ellen, Eric, Brice, and the rest of the Delgado family. There are no words that can completely bring comfort at a time like this. Please know that you are in our prayers and that your son and brother died for a right and noble cause. May God grant you great grace and comfort.
"To fallen soldiers let us sing;
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing;
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the mansions of the Lord.
No more bleeding, no more fight,
No more prayers pleading through the night,
Just divine embrace, eternal light in the mansions of the Lord."

Ellen and family
I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying that God will comfort your heart day by day. I spent the weekend in Arlington and cannot tell you how many times I thought of him as I looked over the headstones of those who have fought to keep us free. May your heart be comforted that because he trusted in Christ you will one day see him again in a perfect way.May you have this glad hope by knowing that this world is not all there is and there is a heavenly home. I am so sorry I was not able to be there with you during this time, but my thoughts and prayers have been with you continually.
Love,
