Our love goes out to Melissa, Adela & CJ. Clint I will always remember him making Balloon animals for the all of the children at Delas party and being so kind to my little girl when she fell and bumped her head. Your kindness will be missed
I will never understand why you were taken from us at such a young age. You were so full of life and laughter. You always had a joke and a pick me upper. You always told me I was beautiful and "wifey" material. :-) You are a true American Hero!! I will never forget you, your memory still lives on Whitey!! I love you!~Angel G.
My name is Sgt. James Close. i served with Doug for the past four years. i was there the day he showed up to the company. from the first time i met him i could tell he had a strong spirit and he would be a good friend to everyone. i saw him grow as a soldier but more important i saw him toutch the lives of all his friends. he made everyone in the company laugh at some point. weather it was him playing his guitar or knitting. not a single person could hold back thier tears when we heard the news. we were all there outside the hospital in a group praying and trying to console each other. looking back it was a testimony to how great of a man doug was. i had seen others fall before but never had i seen so many people so devistated over one. we all loved doug and i'll will always remember him until the day i die. not a day goes by i don't think about him.
Dennis is my baby brother. The youngest of 6 children, a twin, a beloved father. We will all feel the pain of this loss for the rest of our lives. It shocks me everyday that I see another site in which we can honor the fallen, the heros that never made it home, young men like my brother.
This (and the loss of all the other service members) seems so unjust, unbelievable. I keep thinking that one day I will wake up and realize that I had been trapped in a really bad nightmare. But, reality sets in and I know this is not true. I look at the pictures of this smiling kid I knew, the kid that loved to parade around the house in his bikini briefs, the kid that made up songs, dances and games, the kid that would call me, his big sister, to make sure that I was okay, and I remember the wonderful man he was growing into.I will never forget the love he had in his heart for everyone, it didn't matter who, especially for his son, Dominick. The minute he found out he was going to be a father, he loved that baby with all he was. That character is so rarely seen in people, but this is the person he was / is.
This is the person that should be remembered, revered and mourned - the young man that never got the chance to show the world, and his son, all the great things he is capable of. Instead of seeing his face at family functions, now, we must rely on pictures and our dreams.
You made us proud Dennis, I hope you did and do not suffer any longer. Eternal peace to you!
I am truely heartbroken due to the loss of lives taken for the sake of our counties freedom. I am one that doesnt support our president in his careless needs to stroke his ego. And this is just my opinion not ment to offend anyone Im just terable upset for all the lives lost in the attempt to fix a country that doesnt want to be fixed. Darrell was a member or LoneStarStang and a true Mustang lover we were proud to have him as part of our community his memory will live on forever at LSS. I would like to offer my condolences to his mother, father,sisters,brother,ch ildren,wife and all other relatives for your loss just remember "absent from the body means present with the lord" THANK YOU DARRELL FOR BEING A BRAVE AND HONORABLE AMERICAN........

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Your departed veteran who gave his life in the service of his country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son he may share in the joy of Your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in You with Your saints forever.
I ask this through Christ our Lord.He has proudly served his country.

Its been over a year now since you left us and not a day goes by where I dont think about you. I never thought i would miss you so much. I guess I never realized how much I valued you as a friend until you were gone. I am so proud of you for what you did and im sorry you couldnt come home to us to continue the life you had only just started. Keep watching over us from heaven. Love always and forever. ~ C.W.
I love you. You were not my brother in flesh but you always were in spirit. I pray you knew that.You brought a lot of old friends together. I hope that we can reconnect with you on the other side.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. IT WAS AN HONOR TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE. LOVE UNCLE BILLY, AUNT SUE, BILLY JR., SEAN AND TOMMY.
Served with ben in basic and AIT , new from the start he was a soldier's soldier . A man of good moral character and great sense of humor. My deepest colndolences to his family....
My husband and I both were in Ben's 91C class at Ft Bragg and in that year we found out what an incredible guy he was. We feel blessed to have been able to call him a friend and we lost one more great hero- Lee and Brenna Kokoszka
Tim was my brother. He was an amazing person. He never didn't do waht he said he wanted to do. He always persevered at whatever life through at him. Even when his best friend died he kept going. Tim taught me a LOT. He also caught me at stuff I wasn't supposed to be doing. We were close. But, I know that now he's in heaven with his best friend and, I know they're having an amazing time together.Love,Carrie
FROM: Specialist Darrell O'Brien (US Army-Baghdad, Iraq)I was in AFJROTC with Tim, although I did not know him very well. I cannot express my thoughts on how sorry I am and how unfortunate this was. You will be reunited with Tim, in Heaven. God Bless!
You have made the ultimate sacrifice. You did what you had to do and you fought for what was right. you will always be in my prayers. semper fiLcpl David Martinez

I hope the family is happy again soon, luv yall.
