To My Brother, My Hero:I want you to know I am very proud of you for fighting for our country. I still find it hard to believe that you are no longer with us. I miss you so much! I remember talking to you the morning before you were injured...you asked me how your future nephew was doing...and that you missed all of us and couldn't wait to come home in March. I remember you telling me that you couldn't wait to take a picture of your pregnant sister's belly...just like you did with Robin. Everyone is doing pretty good here. Mom and Dad are having a hard time coping with all of this but I think that with a grandson on the way its helping a little. Our niece Jeanann misses you a lot...she asks about you all the time. Please watch over all of us. We all love you and miss you deeply!!!!Love your Big Sis

You may not be here to fight anymore but others will fight for you in your name including me. I will keep you in mind at all times when I think why do I stay in the military...because of heroes like you! No one could ever know what sacrifice you have made for them until they made it themselves but I know and those who support you know because they sacrificed their son, grandson, nephew, brother, and friend. We will see you soon and look over those who need you.

Dear Doug,We salute you now and always. We can never know what you have been through, only that it was awful. As you know your ceremony in Petoskey was just sad, but also so uplifiting to know the impression you have made on so many people. You are so loved and so respected. We should all wash the feet of every service personnel who has served for our country as Jesus did for his disciples. You are our heroes, you have made each of our lives better for your sacrifices. To have paid the ultimate sacrifice, Doug, is so sad to the rest of us who loved you so. We will never understand what you have gone through, we can not comprehend it without walking in your boots. We could never fill your boots. You gave your all to your country, to your job, and to your fellow GI, and of course your family. God, we grieve for you Doug and your family. We know that you are in heaven with all of your family and friends who have gone ahead of you. May you be fishing with your Grandad Quinton, and yes your Grandma Mildred since she will catch the most fish anyway. We love you Doug, and we will look after your family however we can. Thank you for brightening our lives these 49 years. Your memories will continue to brighten them into the future. God bless you and your family. See you again and again.
Your undying love for our country and freedom will never be forgotten. We will forever love you our bright smiling son. You have been and continue to be a legacy and inspiration to many. May the God of our country carry our burdon til we meet again.Love Mom & Dad, 4EVER Proud Marine Parents

Amber I can't imagine what you are going through. I will miss your husbands friendship and selfless service as a companion. If you need anything get a hold of Julia. My prayers goes with you and your family. I hope to see you all in Alaska when we return. Kelly Rogne
We only got to talk to your son but I felt that he was a very special young man. My husband and I are so glad that our daughter shared a small part of her life with him. I know the memories they made will be of strength to her. We wish for you God's love and comfort at this time. There is so little that anyone can do but to remember a special person and a families greatest lost.
Daniel, We still cannot get use to the thought of you being gone from us so completely. We are so proud of you son. We will see you again in Heaven.Mom, Dad & Toots too!
My prayers are with Darrell and his family. Even though I never got to meet him I know he was very much loved and I'm sorry that they must now grieve for that loss. My condolences.Erin Outlaw Reynolds

Hello Darrell, Well 1st off I hope that this note finds you in the best of health & happiness & it's being sent with highest hopes & much love..... It's been quite a while since we've spoken. Your family took your "vacation" really hard. It's only for a little bit & you're never really far away, we know you're looking down over all of us, helping to guide and protect. You are missed & I know you're still being talked to, even though you haven't really spoken back, your opinion, as well as your thoughts are known. You left a ever-lasting impression on all our hearts and an image in our minds of the most heroic, handsome man ever known to mankind.... Anyway, I guess I'll let you go for now, I know you're being followed by your new pack of "drooling for a hero" groopies. Take care and hope to see you soon.... _ Jeanette (Ricio237)
Hey Darrell it's Sean....we miss you man. Your family is takin' this pretty hard but we are there for them.

Harry, Catrina loved you with all her heart and you kept her going with your love and support before during and after she lost your niece/nephew who is buried at the Penrose cemetary.

I am sorry that I will never get to meet you at least in this world but you will always hold a special place in the heart of all the Maxwells. Please say hello to that little angel in heaven for us. To your parents and family: We will hold them in our prayers and thoughts. God Bless You Harry and your family.Love Carrie Unterreiner and the Maxwell clan
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Harris and Major Aaby,The Bloomsburg (PA) Press-Enterprise today carried the notice of Capt. Jennifer Harris's life and death. Having a 29-year-old, precious daughter, I cry for you all and for Jennifer. There can be almost no imaginable solace for you. Nevertheless, as Abraham Lincoln 142 years ago wrote to Mrs. Lydia Bixby, Boston, on her loss of five sons in the Civil War:"I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."
Ray- Our community is deeply saddened by our loss. You are a hero and will forever be in our hearts. We will honor and miss you. You may be gone, but we will always remember you. Thank you for your sacrifice for our country.
Please know that Steven is a Hero and he is greatly missed!! He did not die in vain, yet he died doing a job he so dearly loved and believed in! We will always remember him and be thankful for the sacrafices that not only he made but that also you all made. Thank you and may God Comfort you in this time of need. Michael and Kristi Jordan, Ft Worth, Texas
