I miss you. I wish we could rewind the clock. I know you are making alot of friends in Heaven. Today, 12 years ago my grandfather died. I'm sure you have met him because he was always smiling and telling jokes and making people laugh like you always were. xoxo
I miss you so much. You were such an amazing young man. You touched so many lives because you loved life and lived it to the fullest. Cody was always smiling no matter how hard or bad things were. He had such a great personality and witty sense of humor and to boot he was a very handsome young man. Rest in peace and know that you are thought of and loved.
Ben will always be remembered as that adorable little cousin! I am proud to say that Benni was more than a cousin to many of us. Ben truly is a special person to do what he did in the Army and for our country! I really look up to all of the huge accomplishments he made in his life! Thank you Benni we miss you! Rangers lead the way!Love,Jodi
You are so missed. Mostly I miss the little boy who I assumed would outlive me. Every memory I have of Ben brings a smile to my face. He certainly was special and we all knew it from the beginning. I remember him as a toddler hugging his Mom so tightly around her neck while his Uncles teased him about something. And I remember him a wee bit older than that trapsing through the woods and trying to keep up with the older cousins. He had a walking stick that was bigger than he was. But that stick came in handy for him as he swatted the brush away from his face and hoisted himself up a hill. He was adorable and ADORED. He was the youngest for many years and as any parent knows....the youngest has a very special place in a family. He was their youngest but not a bit spoiled. Ben grew and developed characteristics we recognized while he was growing up. His self imposed and quiet discipline kept him on level ground as he kept up with every adventure, misadventure, or daring endeavor his brothers or cousins would get into. And who would have thought that he would challenge himself to go beyond what anyone could have guessed. He became a Ranger! The Pride we feel for him will last our lifetime and the memories are sweet visits from him.
May God hold you in the palm of his hand and hold you tight. Today was a very hard day for me, for some reason I couldn't stop crying. I so wish this was just a dream and you would be coming home soon. I do know that we will see each other again. Love, Kim
Thank You for all that you for your patriotism and for serving our country. May you rest in peace and God Bless You and your family. Your loved ones are in my prayers!
My heart aches for your family, even though you are ok and with God I'm sure they will miss everything about you. God Bless You for your Committment to the USMC and to our Country.
I just heard a song on the radio - "There are Angels Among Us", it reminded me of you and started crying. I don't think my tears will ever stop. I wish you were here in body. I miss you so much. xoxoxo
Dan not a day goes by that we don't think of you. We miss your great smile and laugh the thoughfulness you always showed to others. we love you, Your Family

I also attended WLC with this fine young soldier in July 07. He was outstanding. I learned from him and some of his other Ranger buddies alot about land navigation. I thought that he was an outstanding person and I do give my condolences to his family. If you need anything please let me know.SGT(P) Moore, LakashkaFT. Jackson, SC
Kevin will always be loved and missed deeply by his family and friends. It is important to know that Kevin was killed by an RPG after successfully disarming 2 IEDs. The group had gotten back in the truck and was looking for a third IED when the vehicle was hit by an RPG which entered the vehicle and went across Kevin's neck.
May you rest in peace with the Lord our God!! Many people were touched by your kindness and caring heart. You are so precious and will be greatly missed by all. God Bless You!
May you rest in peace with the Lord and know that you are loved and missed by all. You are a wonderful friend, son, brother, soldier and now an angel. My prayers are with you and your family and friends. God Bless You!!!!!

You are in my thoughts daily. My sister and I were just talking about you today, all good, of course. I miss you alot. xoxo Kim

My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to the family of Spc. David E. Lambert. He was a true American hero and most of all he was a true friend. My prayers go out to the family. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10
Dear Cody,I'm sitting here crying because I am so honored that I will be your moderator for your tributes. I am very happy knowing that no one will be able to print anything unkind like I've seen on some other tributes. It makes me sad that someone could be so cruel to a fallen soldier and their family and friends especially after their loved one was protecting our freedom and the freedom of others. You, my dear, are my HERO and will always remain in my heart! Love, Kim
I attended WLC with this young man in July. I would just like to send my condolences to his family and all his range buddies. I am thankful for HEROS like him.
Lui, you are in a much peaceful place now. May your journey to the next life be as pleasant and the one you lived on earth and more. Remember that you are loved by all the people of Samoa, for the act that you performed, so my child can sleep better at night knowing that she lives in place of freedom. We love you and ia manuia lou malaga.Valya Sega-Tenney(Elementary Classmate)
My family and I extend my heartfelt sympathies and sincerest of prayers to the family and friends of Marine Gunnery Sgt. Herman J. Murkerson, Jr.Rest in Peace.

I remember Joesph from when i was stationed at Ft. Lewis WA. He was a great guy and I remember being so happy for him when he married Amanda.

I saw the Pulitzer Prize picture of the medics trying to save you and it touched me. I come from a military family and know what it is like to lose a close friend and family in the 9/11 Pentagon attacks and I offer your family all the prayers in the world. Your work was done on this earth and I do not doubt that you are watching over all your loved ones and fellow soldiers in heaven. Thank you for your sacrifice so we can be safe here at home.
It's the day before Thanksgiving and Bobby, Brian and I went to visit you. We brought you 3 red roses, one from each of us for you. We each bowed our head and said a prayer for you. We talk about you always and you will remain in our hearts forever. Love, Kim
Kevin was my "A" School roomate in Pensacola. He was an awesome roomate. One time i bought this rap cd and was listening to it really loud and he came in and i started to turn it down because i think he liked Country music but he said heck no man turn that up! He had a great personality and was a hard worker. I always remember him and a guy from across the hall working out together all the time. I would always see him running and running and running one time i tried to go on a run with them but i couldnt keep up he was super dedicated to be the best and he was. Ill never forget him.AM3 "AW" Lionel Laubscherrijo

You served with my son at Miri, 4 Corners and Ghazni, he is still there and in a way so are you, taking point with angels and watching over your brothers in arms. I saw you in a photo from your time at West point with a smile full of life, hopes and dreams. I never met you but will remeber and honor you every memorial day. Rest peacefully Airborne. you served well.
