Fernando V. Gonzalez A proud hero, he died fighting for our country. I was fortunate enough to visit the beautiful Vietnmam Memorial in Washington, DC. The only name I looked up was Freddie's. Always remember, many have laid down their lives so that many can live free! Rest in peace, brother. Fernie Gonzalez (Class of '69, Vietnam Veteran '72)

Fred, was a true gentlemen in high school, when everyone was going wild and against the war, he joined the US Marines. I still remember when he told me before graduation that he had joined the service, I was very proud of him. He was one of the first in my era to die for his country, and I will always be proud to have been in his graduation class. He was a True Tiger and will always shine with the brightest stars in the sky.

Fred was my best friend in HS and I'll never forget him. It broke my heart when I heard of his passing, however I myself was overseas in the "wild blue yonder" when it happened. I pray for his family, and recently connected with Offie his sister whom also is a dear friend. Thank you for your service Fred, and I know we'll be seeing each other when I get home and be together with JESUS!!

I’ve been looking for you for quite some time now. I thought you had made it to a medic. I knew you were gone but couldn’t remember where I had seen you. Those were deadly days, our days. I had the chance to join you in heaven twice but it was my dumb luck to survive. How I wish you were still here so we could talk the talk about walking the walk. We will meet again in a couple of years. Pray for me and I’ll pray for you. Until then Rest In Peace Marine! SSG Mendoza.
