Remember me in your hearts, in your thoughts, and the memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, and the times we laughed, for if you always think of me, I will never be gone.
A life well-lived doesn't end any more than the music ends. It echoes through time with the whipers of beauty and grace.

Dear Soldier (Mr. Phillips)I am grateful you chose to go when others said the cause was wrong. You did not turn your back in order to help in some way bring about peace. I am grateful for you because tonight I can sit down and eat a warm meal. I am grateful to you because of your sacrifice I can say" I do not like war."This is without worrying that my door will be kicked in and I will be dragged away. Mostly I am grateful to you because of your sacrifices, I am reminded once again of what it is I have. For this I am grateful to you, because I can go out and say absolutely the dumbest things, and do so because being dumb is no crime. I am grateful to you because I get to sit down with family and friends and have a meal in peace. I am also grateful to you because if I think that a certain politician is a fool.....I can think it without being lined up against a brick wall and shot.There are many things dear soldier (Mr. Phillips) that I am grateful to you, because of the fact that you did not say no. Peace be with you and all of yours and most of all I salute you, because I am grateful to you dear soldier (Mr. Phillips)
There beside a grave she stands.A folded flag clutched in her hands.A silent teardrop on her face,her brave young child has entered grace.She does not hear the sermon said,just memories run through her head.The child she held so long ago,the child with faith she let go.The child who heard the nations call,
and in the end gave it all.Without fear or thoughts of self,thoughts of freedom and little else.The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind,a mournful song it does send.A reminder to us all,
that for freedom this price was paid,and her sweet young to rest was laid.

TAPSTAPS the most beautiful bugle call,known as the most eloquent of all.Not only the signal the day is done,but to say goodbye,to a comrade, brother or son.A melody so hauntingly profound,a piercing yet peaceful sound.Sounded over every soldiers grave,to honor those who were so brave.Soldiers raise their hands to their caps,saluting the fallen as the bugler plays TAPS.Rifles are fired in the sky,to say farewell to another American G.I.Listening to the bugle play,reminds us of the price they had to pay.The sound is bittersweet,letting go of a hero,to someday meet again.Nothing is more touching perhaps,or can render emotion like the call of TAPS.Tears from a bugle fall,as TAPS is played,for the heroes who gave their all.Thank you Mr. Phillips you have given me the freedom I enjoy today. Freedom never comes free. I am so sorry that you had to die.Sincerely yours,Sydney Meyerage 10Louisville, Ky.
My Ivan its Rita. Words cant even expalin how sad iam .. We just watched the DVD from Iraq that they send to us and iam crying and i cant help but wonder why you had to go this way. I miss you so so much ... me and nicole are trying our hardest to be stong but we cant. I try to be the best sister i can be but its difficult. I remember the last day we dropped you off at the airport i did not want you to go because i knew in my heart you would not come back. I love you and will always love you. Iam going to start going to church so we can see eachother in soon. I want to serve Jehova so we can once meet again. please wait for us.
thanks for fighting for our country....its good that you fought for our country but i honestly think we shouldnt be fighting in the war and whoever is in the war shouldnt have to fight if they dont want to. But i love ya for fightin for the U.S.
u know i never wanna go online and google ur name, it just kills me whenever i see all these stuff on hea about u...i hate reading it! i luv and miss u so much babe!My Precious Love Sometimes I tell myself, that you’re not really gone. I feel you’re tender touch and no longer feel alone. I see us walking hand in hand like we use to do. It’s hard for me to accept..... That your life on earth is through. There were so many dreams we had not yet fulfilled, All The hopes of a future that we were going to build. All our friends and family have been so very kind, They try hard to ease my broken heart And my troubled mind. But how can my heart be mended, When it has broken in two? Part of my heart is still on earth, The other part left with you. It is hard to see tomorrow, When I can’t accept today, Because the “Love of My Life” Has been taken away. I will always miss you, BABE! Time will not erase the pain, All the raw emotions of losing you, Words will never explain. I will cling to the warm feelings You brought into my life, Maybe somehow it will ease my confusion And emotional strife. Someday we will be rejoined in Heaven up above, But while I’m still on earth I will cherish Every memory of our precious love. Somehow those precious memories Will have to carry me through, Until the time comes for us to walk hand in hand For an eternity...... together.......me and you. REST IN PEACE MAH LUV WE LUV AND MISS U!ur wife and kids

You were the light to so many, loved beyond measure, never to be forgotten. You will remain ever young with your beautiful smile that only you had to light up the room where ever you entered. I am sure that is what happened when you were greeted in Heaven, you lit up a new part of the world, where you were needed then. We will see you again. Love forever/
Oh my gosh, you are so missed. I was talking with a friend and you came up in a conversation and I showed her my bracelet and said, "This is my friend, Cody" she looked at me and said "Grater". I told her yes it is. I asked her, "did you know him?" No, but when my family heard about his death we got a group together of family and friends to show him our LOVE and THANKS for all that he did for our country and stood on the side of the road when he passed by us. Cody, you have touched so many lives. I am so proud of you! Missing you always! Kim

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You were an amazing person....great personality and always willing to go the extra mile for a friend. Thank you for serving our great country and being a wonderful American and doing what you believed in. You made everyone proud of all that you accomplished in your short life. You are missed and will never be forgotten! Love always....
Today I was looking around the website on Myspace. You are remembered everywhere. You have touched so many lives through your love of life and unfortunately for the sacrifice that you made for all Americans. You were taken from us way to soon and will be forever missed. Life will never be the same without you on earth, but at least we will be together one day in Heaven and it will be a glorious reunion. Until we meet again. All my LOVE!
God knows best... he knows better than we do. He knows when the time has come and who he is ready to recieve. I pray right now that God move in your life.

But I am in my skin fighting the most important war of all 'SPRITUAL' you take care of yourself and loook to God for all of you needs. Especially comfort! God Bless!!!

Son we miss you so much it is hard to describe. You grew into a young man that touched everyone you met. We couldn't be more proud of you and of the impact that you made on this world. You were and are the greatest gift GOD could have given us. Love you Bryan. Mom, Dad, Matthew, Joshua, Catherine, Bryan Christian Junior, Tiffany, Chad, David, and your new nephew yet to be born.
You were a great friend of mine and to many...you touched so many...a shining light that brightened up my day, each and every day that I came to work at the Pentagon. I spent many long nights working to complete projects & tasks for you...but I knew it was important because you were motivated, driven, and passionate about what we were doing that is saving so many others during these tough times. I can remember our time in Brussels...sorry for yelling...we also spent many nights eating, drinking, talking about all the goodtimes in life.
Mike Neumann & FamilyP.S. I am sorry I didn't reply back to your email on the January 24th quicker....to answer your question...Emily & Paige are just fine....We all love you, miss you, and will see you again some day in heaven...my friend.
