You never got the chance to reach your full potential, you will always be a hero in my eyes. You are thought about daily, I will miss you forever.SFC Espinoza
When I visited the Middle East Conflicts Memorial Wall in Marsielles, IL, I was given Cpl. Zapasnik's "dog tag." I am sorry for your loss and grateful for his service.
I know that it has been almost 10 years since this tragedy, but I also know that this loss must still be affecting his family and friends to this day. After the tragedy, I attended a ceremony at my school where we were all given names of victims to pray for. I was given Mr. McGuinness's name. I still pray for him and his family from time to time, but never actually looked for anything about him until now. This really is a very moving tribute and I hope for the best for his family and friends.
This is not James Wolf. I grew up with James who was white. I tried to contact this site, but it does not see, to be working. Hopefully someone will correct this problem.

Matt, you were a student of mine for two years in my Electronics Class at the Bryant Center. I wear a red shirt every Friday for you and the other fallen warriors. I still think about you often. God bless your family and the loved ones you left behind.
You have been gone for almost 2 years now, but you are not forgotten.Dave Taylor
I used to sit next to this guy on the bus and my best friend dated his sister, Amanda. He was a nice quiet kid and I never knew anything about the military or marines till i saw his pic in the paper about this a few years ago. It amazes me how far he went into the military. What a hero. I'll always remember you going over spanish cards or i can't remember what foreign language u were takin freshman year at naperville central. Adam was the coolest guy you could know. Mad respect. Love you Kaiser.
Miss you Ramsey!You will never be forgoten. I often think about you, and wonder if there was anything I could have done to help you. You were always there to help whoever needed help, you were an awsome soldier!!!
In your name, my friend, I taught a unit in my Social Problems class. The subject was war and the assignment was to look up a fallen soldier, research how they lived and how they passed away. I remember you often and feel blessed to have known you. You were a sensitive and funny guy, always helping your friends out! Thank you for becoming a proud Marine... you died too early. I know that you are very missed and remembered.
im sorry for the loss and heartache his family is going thru and especially his son who on the balloon release for his daddy said in heaven when asked by his grandma where daddy was :( thank u for ur scarifices
The Universe had even bigger things in store for you and over that, mere mortals have no control.
So thank you for the life you lived when you walked beside us. Watch over those you've left behind as their pain is so great. Know that your sacrifice is never forgotten, even by those of us who haven't crossed your path in this life. Thank you. Fran Purser
Miss him every day, he spoke to me about his girls back at home. I will never forget his sense of humor and his bravery. He was like an open book, so funny how I remember every conversation he had with me. I was very lucky to have met him in my life overseas but very unfortunate to have lost him as a good friend when I had jsut met him in a short time. God bless you Tom.michael S, Albany NY
You are not forgotten! God be with your family. Although life has moved on since you left them the hole that was left in thier hearts will always be there. I am a veterans wife.
John Murphy I was your Bugler and wish to contact the family we have a KIA Service in Deltona for those who gave all I want to know if you would come in February 2012 email (Email Link) I don't wish to fotget his sacrifice.
hey bud 3 years and still missing you wish you could have came back love you so much when i look up in sky i know your smiling face is looking down! You friend forever! Kevin wray
I ran across an article on LaVena Johnson and could not believe what I was reading. I read on and on and came across the article about Keisha, what is wrong with the people running the US Military? These demons will be dealt with because God has the last word. Trust me they will get what is coming to them in more ways we can ever think about seeking revenge, I AM SO ANGRY!!! I am a single mother of one daughter who called me and asked what did I think about her joing the Army Reserve, I have printed documents on these young ladies to send to her,but without a thought I told her no off the break, before I had even read or knew about the rape,mirder suicide cover up of my sisters in the military. Mothers keep praying God hears and knows all. God got them demons!
I miss you Babe more than you'll ever know... Your babies miss you so much too. Thank you to all who have shown their support for my husband and our family.Nicole Mizener
Nacho: i have never met you, but i do know your family, and i know that they still love and miss you like no other. David cares so much about you to the point he wants to name his child after you. lori and big david love and care for you so much. before knowing much about them they told me everything about you. they are so proud of you and everything youve accomplished. i have heard the funniest stories about you from david. i have seen your artwork. and the symbol you drew in davids room is tattooed on his chest. I am davids girlfriend and i have never been so touched by someones story ever in my life. they will never forget you nor will i.
I never forgot you and for some reason you kept popping in my head these last couple mos. I didnt expect this. For that little while you touched my heart. I wont forget you.
Hey Hernandez, Brother I know you are no longer with us, but I attended your wake several years ago. At that time I was heart broken, when I learned what had happened. Since then, I have been on two tours both to Iraq. We served as Drill Sergeants together, and man did we have some times to remember. Hernandez, thank you and your family for your selfless services to our country. It will never be forgotten. By the way I had the chance to meet your wife and kids at the wake. You have a beautiful family.
You know, on my last tour I was going throught the Demob site at Ft. Dix and went into a chow hall there that bears your name. You have made a difference in the lives of many Americans.. Thank you Hernandez, and brother I will meet you on the other side... Until then, sleep easy my friend, sleep easy...
Sleep easy..................... ....Command Sergeant Major

He was a good person. Just one more that had to give his life in Iraq. Thankfully, with all the work and what was accomplished there, he did not perish in vain. My condolences to the parents and family. I served in the Marines for four years and the us army for six now. I am from San Marcos. I am Michael Jones. Again, I just wanted to send my condolences, I just found out that he was killed.
I am a very close friend of the pilot who medivaced Charles to the hospital that day. It was his first mission and would turn out to be his worst. I would like to share some of the letter that I recieved from the pilot on Aug 23, 2009. I will only share what is needed to be said and is a quote directly from the letter.
quote== (I've flown about 100 hours of combat since I got here on May 1st. The first mission I had turned out to be the worst mission I had. I was on scene in about 20 minutes. I flew the soldier 50 miles to the hospital. I pulled all the power the 2 engines had and landed as quickly as I could. We lost another Great American Soldier that day.His name was Charles Parrish. I hope to meet up with him in heaven some day) end quote. Even though He didn't know him personally Charles will forever be on his mind and in his prayers along with his family.
Words cannot heal the pain of losing someone so dear. May God give you the strength to overcome the pain. I am thinking of you and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain. Today and always may loving memories bring you strength, comfort and peace.Ann (Nothdurft) Blackman
