To the family and friends of Spc Joseph L. Gallegos, I wish to extend my deepest and sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. As an Army veteran I salute you Spc Gallegos and thank you for your service to our country. You are a true American Hero. Que Dios te bendiga y te tenga a Su lado en el cielo. Vaya con Dios mijo, y descansa en paz. I will be with all my New Mexico brothers and sisters in spirit in memory of my nephew Joseph Mathew Cordova (USMC) the 400 New Mexico Vietnam Veterans who gave their all in the jungles of Vietnam and the 41 brave soldiers from New Mexico who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. Freedom is not free. The price is written on The Wall. Joseph will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but NEVER forgotten. Vets don't forget!

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SPC Joseph L. Gallegos. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Joseph.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
