My deepest condolences to Army Staff Sgt. Jordan L. Bear's family, friends & fellow comrades who lost a great man. I know how hard it is, losing my nephew in '09 in Afghanistan also.
I am so sorry for your families loss. God bless your soul and your family! I have 2 sons, both US Marines, and I am part of you extended family. God Bless!
Christine, I still get tears thinking about you, you are so missed....But now when I visit where you fell I can wipe a tear from my eye and touch it to the water that flows under you name, and I know you are feeling the love, and that gives me some peace.
I miss you so much Robbie. Some days it doesn't seem like its real. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you though. I love you so so much. You were the best big brother a girl could have. You were always my hero and still are!

Tara, you were and will be my battle buddy. I miss your laugh, your sense of humor, your loyalty and your presence. In life it is rare to come across true friends and miss that about you. We had a great time in Korea and we remained in touch until your deployment. I never would have thought I would never see or hear from you again. God has made his choice and called you home, rest and please be waiting for me at the gates. Luv ya sis.

Praying for Peace in the Valley for this family. Captain Nicholas S Whitlock touched many lives that are anonymous to his family & friends because he touched everyone he met in his daily walk of life with his bright smile & joy of life. Many are saddened and brokenhearted over the loss of Nick all around the World. I pray each person that loved him find a special way to honor him by improving their own life someway. Aspire to be like him. What a better world we would have. Never forgotten Captain Nicholas Whitlock. We love you.
You all were such a testimony to all people within viewing distance, with your steadfast faith and grace. May the Lord continue to hold you in the palm of His hands. In remember Capt.

You left your home town and your best life, and went to a faraway place to bring freedom to those who did not know you and didn't appreciate you. Just like Jesus.We praise the Lord for your total and complete sacrifice. Now you and Jesus, together. Thank You Jesus for Captain Nicholas Whitlock's sacrifice - You were his best example.
Thank you for serving our country. It is people like you who make it possible for us to be free and live the American Dream. May Gods grace and love forever hold you close.

(PRAYER) Lord, I know hearts are hurting right now, but Father I ask if you would just be in the mist of this situation. Father God, be with the families, when every one has left and they are faced to make the unimaginable decisions. Father God, hold their hands and wipe their eyes when the tears begin to fall. Father God, reassure them that in the dark time, you are still with them. Father God, give them strength, give the courage and Father give the peace. Peace in there hearts to know that Nicholas has done his deeds on this side and is rejoicing on the other side. And Father God, let them remember the good things Nickolas has done and not allow the enemy to fill their hearts with depression. For weeping may endure for a night, but joy WHITLOCK Family comes in the morning. All these things, I ask, in your son Jesus name I pray, AMEN!!

I knew Captain Whitlock well. He loved his wife and loved his country. He was a true patriot and hero. Nick always had a smile on his face and was a true friend to many. I pray that his lovely wife one day finds comfort. God Bless America.

I would like to offer my condolences to the family Of the Dycus family...God bless you in this needy hour of prayers! Thank you Cpl Dycus for serving this great country with pride!
Cid was one of best men I have ever had the privilege to know. I learned many things from him that include, but not limited to, being a good corpsman, being a leader of men, speaking with integrity, being a good friend, and how to be a man. He was great man. I enjoy telling "Cid Story's" with friends that knew him. Thanks Cid for all the life lessons, the good memories, and for always having good advise for me when I needed it.Every Guinness is still for youPaul Feely
I want to thank Eddie and his family for his sacrifice so that we could be free! God Bless You, Eddie!
My heart goes out to his family, so sorry you had to lose him so soon. It's hard to lose our young men and women to war, but it hits harder when it's at home. The Riverside area will miss him.I will be out there on the Hwy waving my flag in your honor! Thank you again and bless you!
So proud of Marine Lance Cpl. Edward Dycus. Proud that he had the courage to enlist in the Marines. Proud that he was willing to fight for the freedom of all Americans as well as others around the world. I am so sad that he had to pay the ultimate sacrifice for his service but I am so very thankful for all he gave.
To the Dycus family, his fellow Marines, and his friends, my heart goes out. I have kept you all in my prayers during this incredibly difficult time. Know that you are not going through this alone. I am proud of Greenville and Washington County for the support they have given your Hero. We no longer live there but share your pain as well. I wish you God's speed. I have seen the memorial video and had to giggle at his spirit and his smile. Keep these things with you always! God bless you all.
Words cannot express our sorrow, and thank you seems so inadequate. Your willingness to serve our country will never be forgotten, and your memory will live in the hearts of the MS Delta. Thank you for giving your all. Sending prayers for your family and friends.
I am the wife of a Army soldier. I am the mother of a Army soldier. I watched my son go to a foreign country. I waited everyday to hear his voice or see him on Skype. Thank you for your service to our country. You are a very brave soldier that did his country well. God bless you and keep you in his loving tender arms. Prayers and thoughts go to your family. Love to all.
