Selian,
You made the ultimate sacrifice with what you did for your country, when we went to school together I didn't think that you would turn out to be a "hero" maybe just a model :) I miss writing back and fourth, i'm especially gonna miss reuniting 10 years from now, hold your head up in the sky Boricua, I love you.
Jalena Gautier C/O 2002, 24 April 2004
Spc.Diaz,
you were a great soldier,and you had a bright and cheerful personality, it's weird to not see you standing in formation after you've been there for the past year, we were so close to coming home, I still think about you, when I lay down at night and don't see you praying below your Puerto Rican flag, I miss talking to you in the dark and meeting you for lunch, may time heal your family's pain.
Gia Valdez, 24 April 2004
Seli, Well, you always said you were gonna be something HUGE,you are now a HERO, our family is so proud of you, although I don't think a Bronze star or Purple Heart is worth the tears our parents have shed, the worst day of my life was seeing your coffin lowered into the ground.
I didn't just lose a Sister I lost my heart, and though it's hard to breathe I will make it through in your memory, I love you "Seli"
YOUR SISTER, 24 April 2004
PUERTO RICO, I REMEMBER WHEN WE DATED WHEN YOU FIRST CAME TO FORT HOOD, AND WHEN I SAW YOUR FACE ON THE NEWS I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT WE HAD, AND WHAT THE WORLD WILL BE MISSING WITHOUT YOU IN IT, YOU HAD THE FACE OF AN ANGEL, SO I GUESS YOUR RIGHT WHERE YOU BELONG, I'LL MISS SEEING YOU AROUND THE BARRACKS AND GOING OUT DANCING WITH YOU, I'LL PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY.
I LOVE YOU VARGAS, I WISH I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE WHO MARRIED YOU. LOVE,ME
You know who "me" is, 24 April 2004
Salsa, When we were roomates I gave you that name that's all you listened to, I remember when you first moved into the room,before you even had a bed you put up a HUGE Puerto Rican flag, you were only 5'1 but your personality was 11'11, you were a fun person that loved to dance, you were always full of energy. You always cheered me up, even the one year that neither of us could go home for Christmas, I still have the present you gave me. You were an honor to know,and I miss you!
Alicia Renning, 24 April 2004
Selian,
I have known you since you were a little girl and I wish that something so awful would'nt have ended such a promising life, you were VERY beautiful and so smart, I know that your mother and sister misses you dearly all your friends in Caguas are devastated by your loss, I wish all whom knew you the best it hurts to know your gone but all Angels belong in Heaven
Margie Rivera, 25 April 2004
SELIAN,WHEN MY BROTHER BROUGHT YOU HOME I KNEW THAT YOU AND HIM WERE THE PERFECT MATCH I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM SO IN LOVE, YOU HAD THE BIG HAZEL EYES WITH THE PETITE BODY WITH THE "JLO" BUTT WE ALL TEASED YOU ABOUT, YOU WERE JUST A KNOCKOUT WITH A BEAUTIFUL PERSONA, I LOVED DANCING WITH YOU AND GETTING ADVICE FROM YOU I'M GONNA MISS THAT. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF OUR FAMILY.
I LOVE YOU NENA
Charlene S. Diaz, 25 April 2004
What's Up Pretty Rican,I know that your gone,but what I don't understand is why? I remember all the times that we had in Puerto Rico at school you stood next to me when we graduated and then we joined the Army together as Buddies. I know that I let you down, because I'm still here in this world you had to leave, I think about your beautiful smile and the way you used to laugh and dance all the time. When I will see you again, is not known, but me loving you forever is for sure.
Giovanni Vega, 29 April 2004
Selian Diaz Vargas,I know you remember me, when we used to skip class together,and when we went clubbin,and dancing,then you joined the Army and left me in Puerto Rico, I missed you so much,until I seen you again in the summer of 2003
I will never see you again now,and you haunt me in the nightmares that used to be dreams. I wish you were here once more to be the angel you've always been.
J-Roc, 29 April 2004
Selian,It is so funny not to see you anymore. All the girls in our tent always talk about how they miss hearing your music and GOOFY laugh, I miss talking to you in the middle of the night, I miss envying you for being beautiful at war :) I miss everything about you. I have a picture of you on the pocket of my uniform, I love you P.R.
"MI ORGULLO"
Jenny Palomas, 29 April 2004
MY BATTLE BUDDY, WHEN I FIRST MET YOU, I THOUGHT YOU HAD A SPICY PERSONALITY YOU WEREN'T AFRAID OF CONFLICT AND YOU WOULDN'T CHANGE YOUR MIND WHEN YOU BELIEVED IN SOMETHING, WHEN WE CAME OUT HERE YOU BECAME MY BATTLE BUDDY, I SHOULD HAVE HAD YOUR BACK...AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF FOR YOUR ABSENCE. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
Renay Torres, 29 April 2004
Selian & Family, I heard about Selian just the other day and all the thoughts of her goofy laugh and beautiful face came back along with her love for dancing and her EXTREME pride for being Puerto Rican, (u drove me crazy:) I miss her more then words can say and am still shocked that she won't be in New York this summer at the Puerto Rican day parade, I love you mama thank you for all the laughs and memories
Selene Vegas, 7 May 2004
Pretty-Rican, I remember you staying right next door to me in the Barracks and how you used to dress up all the time, you weren't the type of person that could be disliked although alot of people were jealous:) you became a good friend and I remember how scared you looked the morning you turned in your key to deploy the last thing you told me was " see ya when i see ya" for the past month i've been waiting for that day to come, I miss you.
Pizarro, 7 May 2004
Recuerdo todavía los tiempos que utilizamos para hablar y reírse en su cuarto en el abuchea, recuerdo cómo que su acento portorriqueño saldría más cuando usted estaba loco, y cómo usted utilizó para enseñarnos todo cómo bailar antes fuimos al club, yo lo pierdo es la vida del partido, y yo quieren mandar mi pésame a su familia en el Puerto. Y su marido, usted era el mejor bailarín y el amigo. Te quiero Salsa

Usted tuvo la MEJOR personalidad con las miradas buenas para emparejar.

Te quiero.

Spc. Selian Anabel Diaz,is being remembered as a funny,outgoing person,with a love for music and dancing who wanted a career in modeling after she left the Army, "she made everyone who met her fall in love with her." Diaz's name and rank was called out in a final roll call,but she was not there to answer.
"She was a beautiful smart girl that could have been the nexy big thing from Puerto Rico,she always represented where she was from and stood proud." Diaz, was 19 years old.
Killeen Daily Herald, 29 May 2004
Selian, I taught you back in Puerto Rico during your Junior and Senior Year, you were a very smart girl,and you always told me you were going to be a video model, like your idol Roselyn Sanchez, I really did think you would turn into something big,you captured all the hearts of your classmates and remained very athletic and popular.
I miss having you in my class, you were a very promising girl. My prayers to the Vargas Family.
Mrs. Rodrigues, 29 May 2004
Selian,I couldn't believe that you had died,the first thing I heard about was your death when I came back to Caguas, I always told you that you were crazy for joining the Army, you should have been a dancer, you could ALWAYS out dance me at parties, I remember all the years that you played b-ball with me, and taught me some of your moves.
VARGAS #16 hangs in the gym, but your not just an idol to everyone, you've always been to me.
Angel Marie Sanchez c/o 2002, 29 May 2004
Lian, HEY GIRL! I'm back here in Caguas,and I went by your house, and spoke to your mother, they told me what happened, but I keep telling myself that you just got married and moved far away, where I can never reach you again, I miss calling your cell phone, and talking to you until your paycheck was gone, I miss hearing about all your dates, and how different things were off the island, I miss you, nothing will take that away.
BLOW ME A KISS,AND WHEN I FEEL THE WIND I KNOW U DID.
Xana Denez, 29 May 2004
Vargas,AKA PrettyRican, I remember you before you were married, and when you used to watch sports and have that goofy laugh, I remember you as my prom date, standing at the door in that Puerto Rican flag dress you got made, that everyone thought you were crazy for our senior year, I think about you most often and dream about seeing you again, I miss you Baby! your in my prayers.
