“A TIME OF HEALING” by Sergeant Jason Arellano

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow warriors, families and friends. I would like to thank Lieutenant Colonel Beck for this amazing opportunity. I would also like to thank this incredible foundation. “Remembering the Brave” … what beautiful words and what a beautiful setting. There is no other place I would rather be in this very moment.

I would like to open with a quote to you written by our nation’s 33rd President, Harry S. Truman that is taken from his Inaugural Address.

“Events have brought our American Democracy to new influence and new responsibilities. They will test our courage, our devotion to duty and our concept of liberty.”

I believe that this quote holds true to where we stand as a nation today.

When I think of those who have served and those who continue to serve, one word comes to mind… and that word is “WARRIOR”. As a fellow warrior I’ve seen not only the dark side of war… I’ve also seen the good of it.

It is with great pleasure and honor that I stand before such an amazing group of families… the “Gold Star Families”. To be a part of this group can only mean one thing. Together you all share an irrevocable, unimaginable bond. You all share something incredibly powerful and I want you to know right now that your loved one did NOT die in vain; freedom isn’t free and in the words of our nation’s 3rd President, Thomas Jefferson, “The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of the patriots”. It is a huge sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice that your loved one paid and our nation is forever indebted and grateful. And though we are grateful, one can only imagine the trials and tribulations that you all have endured. A fierce warrior on the battlefield is what I am… this evening, I will be speaking to you as a tender warrior.

Nine years ago to the date…. you can ask anyone where they were on September 11, 2001 and they’ll tell you exactly where they were at, because no one can forget. We were in the field training for an upcoming deployment. I recall standing next to a waterhole filling my canteen when a humvee rolled up. A few officers exited the vehicles and began to talk with some of the other officers who were already in the field… I picked up on the words “World Trade Center”. Thinking nothing of it I returned to my Platoon. It was at this time that both sets of officers asked for the entire company to “bring it in!” They asked if anyone had friends or relatives that worked in The World Trade Center. A Navy Corpsman raised his hand and he was pulled aside from the rest of the company. They went on to ask us if we were all familiar with the Twin Towers. Of course everyone knew of these infamous buildings. Then one of the officers told us that “The towers no longer existed”. I can’t help but think of all of the innocent Americans going about their day, a day that would change our country forever. The reality is that we live in a world filled with good and with evil.

Tonight, I want to talk to each of you about legacies. The definition of the word legacy is “a gift of inheritance by an act of free will.” Now, I did not individually know the fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters that we honor tonight. But, because they served in one of our countries fine military branches I do know how they lived their lives. Without a doubt, they lived with honor, courage, and commitment giving their all for you and for me. I know that they are heroes. Because of their sacrifices, there is a continued hope for you and I. Though they are gone now, each of them leaves behind a legacy…. An inheritance of freedom for you and I and generations to come. It is their legacy that can never be taken away. Along with the legacy of freedom they leave behind a legacy of honor. Now that you have this legacy… what are you going to do with it? We can best honor their legacy and memories by mirroring the way they lived. Making them proud by living in courage and commitment, integrity, respect, and standing up for what is right. These men and women stood for freedom, it is now our duty to stand beside our flag and hold high all that they held dear. We honor their memories each time we live in a way that would make them proud.

I have been blessed with many opportunities to share not only my story, but the legacies of the brave men that I served alongside. I’ve done so by reading citations of heroism and valor.

When I talk to friends, family and even strangers I ask them, “When you see our countries flag what do you see? And when you hear our national anthem what do you hear? How does it make you feel?”

When I see the flag and when I hear our nation’s anthem I think of the men and women in uniform defending our freedoms. I see the sacrifices and bloodshed. It breaks my heart to see how many times our freedoms are taken for granted. I often remember those who have laid down their lives and I try to share their stories with as many people as I can. It is my hope that others will see the flag in a different light and hear our anthem in a different tune in a way that will forever resonate in them. Each time that we see the flag and sing our anthem we pay tribute to all of our veterans and more specifically to your loved one. In showing respect we honor their legacy for their gift and the legacy I speak of has come at a high price.
I would like to read an excerpt to you from the devotional “Streams in the Desert.”

The stones in the wall said “We have come from mountains far away, from the sides of rugged cliffs. Fire and Water have worked on us for ages but have only produced crevices. Yet, human hands like your have made us into homes where children of your immortal race are born, suffer, rejoice, find rest and shelter, and learn the lessons that our maker and yours is teaching. But to come to the point of being used for this purpose, we have endured much. Dynamite has torn away at our very heart and pick axes have broken and split us into pieces. Often as we lay disfigured and broken in the quarry, everything seemed to be without design or meaning. But gradually we were cut into blocks, and some of us were chiseled with a sharper instrument until we had a find edge. Now we are complete, are in our proper places, and are of service. You however, are still in your quarry. You are not complete, and because of that, as once was the case with us, there is much you do not understand. But you are destined for a higher building, and someday you will be placed in it by angelic hands, becoming a living stone in a heavenly temple.”

I know that all of you at some point have asked the question, “why?” “Why did this happen to my son?” “Why did this happen to my husband? My Father? Daughter? Wife?” Whatever the relationship may have been. The question is the same. “Why? Why did this happen to my family?”
On the other hand, there are service members—especially those who have been involved in extreme life or death situations and those whom have witnessed brothers in arms being killed who are now coming back asking a similar question. “Why? Why did I survive?”
The answer is, there is no answer.
This is beyond our control, beyond our human reasoning and capabilities to understand why. When we who serve raised our right hands and took the U.S. Armed Forces Oath of Enlistment, we solemnly swore that we would support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies. We know the risks that we face and still in the face of danger we choose to stand with courage and honor, committing our lives to that which we believe in.

How you live your life can be a tribute to our fallen loved ones. Their memories are honored most when we can move forward in life with the courage that our loved ones displayed when they laid down their lives.

Having personally been hit with a grenade and shot at the same time, I can recall those moments of wondering … ‘is this it?’ Exactly 6 years ago, the Third Battalion Fifth Marines of the First Marine Division and I boarded a plane and headed to Iraq.

Just a few days prior while sitting in an airport terminal, I said my goodbyes to Lindsey. As we sat there I told her one of the hardest things I’ve ever told her. I looked into her eyes and told her. “If something were to happen to me, just know, that I will always be there watching over you.” Many of you can relate to hearing similar words.

Fast forward 3 months and I lay bleeding from multiple injuries on a Fallujah street on a gloomy day. I was whisked away on to an amphibious assault vehicle that was waiting for medical evacuation. As they loaded me onto the vehicle with about ½ dozen other marines with various injuries, I remember telling the corpsmen to stop giving me morphine because I wanted to feel some pain. I felt that if I didn’t feel any pain I would just slip away without looking back.

I grabbed the cross that was on my dog tags and just held on. The hatch was open on top of the vehicle so I was able to look out at the sky. With a peace that came over me… I remember saying a prayer along the lines of, “Lord, if this is it, if this is the way I am supposed to go, then I am ready.”

While I was in harm’s way, I know that many people were praying for me and I felt it. And if I felt it, I know that your loved ones felt the prayers directed towards them.

I knew if I passed away it would be hard on my family to accept it. But I also knew that they would be proud of me because I was proud of being a Marine.

I heard chatter coming over the radio that said I was the first out of the vehicle. That really made it clear to me just how bad I was hurt. When we finally made it to camp Fallujah—which seemed like an eternity– they pulled me out and immediately began to run tests. Shortly after they put me under and I began the first of many surgeries.

Eventually, I awoke to hear my Battalion Commander and Battalion Sergeant Major speaking to the other wounded Marines after having visited those that fell that day. They came to my bedside and told me that we had fought a good fight and that we had done a great job, but that not everybody had made it out of there alive. They read the names of the five Marines that had been killed In Action– two of them were from my platoon, and one was a great friend. They were all my brothers. The saying… “All Gave Some. Some Gave All.” was so painfully true. I just laid there… I closed my eyes and I wept. In the back of my mind that question we often find ourselves asking surfaced. “Why? Why did he have to die and why did I have to live?”
The question I was asked by one of my warrior brothers recently was, “How do you get past the inner beast if he ever showed his face?” Just like breathing and the beat of our hearts are involuntary, I too have an involuntary guard that is up against the traumatic experiences that I have gone through. This guard comes from a solid foundation of my faith and the abundant support of my family, friends, and even strangers. I was raised in church and was taught solid values from a young age that have molded me into who I am today. I have had my ups and downs and I know I am not perfect. My knowledge of knowing that God is my savior is the foundation that I speak of. Without my faith and the support of family, that guard I speak of is likely to come down leaving me susceptible to evil thoughts. Like many before me and many who will come after I have experienced that harsh side of war. I have seen both friend and foe lying lifeless. I have seen our corpsmen do everything humanly possible to save a fellow brother to no avail. I have killed my enemy from afar and also in such close proximity that both of our grunts and struggles could be heard by each other. Despite all I have experienced I can honestly tell you that I am okay with everything that I did. I know that I fought with honor, dignity, and a happy heart.

In my opinion, the worst thing anyone can do is bottle up their experiences and not speak about it. If you bottle it up it will become a poison that will kill you from the inside out. Each time that we nurse our bitterness, our hurt and our pain we are laying bricks around us. We may think that we are protecting ourselves and our hurts when in fact we are building a wall between us and those that love and care about us. We break through that wall and move into a place of healing by sharing our experiences with others.

I never remember my dreams. However, one night recently I dreamt I was in a room and across the way was an old man standing on one side of the room with his back against a wall. Directly across from him were three paintings…. The one in the middle was a child’s rendition of the American Flag in a water color. Weeping, the man stood there staring at this particular painting. I walked up to him and put my hand on his shoulder. I told him that I had many friends whose coffins were draped in that flag. He acknowledged and we both walked out of the room.

I have thought often of this dream and after analyzing I have realized that both men are actually me. The weeping could be the struggling of trying to get past a traumatic chapter in my life. The younger version of me is there to remind me that the friends that died did so, on my behalf so that I could have a better life… a life of freedom.

For me, I surrendered it all to the Lord. He met me when I cried out and offered to gladly exchange my inner beast for his peace. He made my life new again. When I thought my “beast” was roaring, he showed me that he was actually weeping. He reached down, lifted up my head, and wiped away each tear. He said, “There is nothing too big or too small that you can’t share with me. My child I will never leave you nor forsake you”.

At some point we will all come to a cross road… to a crisis of trust… when life seems to spin out of control. When our sight and understanding fail to make sense of the circumstances around us. In the coming days when we find ourselves questioning, needing, searching, asking, eventually you will find God’s sufficiency.
Many of you are tired, drained, exhausted, and hurting. It’s okay. I want you to know that it is okay to feel that way. During this time lean on friends and family to draw strength from their embrace.

Tonight I know that there are many of you who have voids in your hearts. While the embrace of loved ones is comforting, those voids can only be filled by the comforts of our faith. Like the stones in the quarry, many of you may feel broken and can’t see reason or meaning. But you are destined for a higher purpose. Now that you are a “Gold Star Family”, there will be others that will come and you will be their strength. You will be able to share your story with them. I want you to know that you have a treasure in heaven waiting for you in a home built by the masters hands.
The longing of your hearts will be redeemed. All of the pains, afflictions and hurts in our lives cause us to hope for a better way… a better life. It is the pain that causes us to hope and keeps our minds steadfast on an eternal perspective. It is our hope and this eternal perspective that anchors our soul.

In closing, know this. Time will pass, our pains will lessen, and the memories of our loved ones will last forever. The sacrifices will never be taken away and that our gratitude can never fully be repaid. Generations to come will hear of the heroic acts of your loved ones and. We must live in a way that honors their memories. Hold close to our hearts that which they gave their life for. Take hold of the legacy that they freely give to you and press into to the comfort only God can give and the hope which he brings fresh every single day. That you will reunite with your hero once again, you will rejoice another day.

God Bless and Semper Fidelis
