Josh my pain is unbearable, I miss you so much son! How do I make this up to you? You are my ROCK, my SOUL! I will carry so many memories of you through the rest of my life and I pray that you will be there to greet me when my time comes. I don't know how to do this life without you, so I am counting on you to help me by watching over me and helping to guide me in the direction you want for your daughter Savannah. I have always been so proud of everything you do. You turned into such a beautiful young man, strong, smart, funny, and responsible -- a mother couldn't have asked for more or a better man. May god accept you into his kingdom and may your spirit always be free. God bless you soul until we meet again. I miss you deeply! You are the best!
We will miss you Shane. I wish we would have followed through with our plans we made when we were younger of you and your brother and me and my brother of moving back to California and surfing everyday. Shane was a great friend, and a hero and fought for our freedom. He be greatly missed. If anyone has contact for his brother Jimmy please contact me @ (Email Link) we were childhood friends who lost contact 2 years ago. CHRIS J. SCHNEIDER
the little witch was a good friend of mine. we shared very fond moments...most of them having a laugh. he always stood by me, throughout whatever had happened. he is always in my heart. he is a fantastic friend and i still cant believe hes gone.
Deborah is not Dale's mother. His mother also faught a very brave battle against breast cancer loosing her fight in 1999. Gaye Castleberry and Dale Sr. raised this wonderful and very brave young man together. Now, Gaye is with her loving son once again.
It is sad when a military member dies but even more sad when another SF Defender dies. Rest in peace Elizabeth and may God have mercy on the souls of those that took you from us.
To whom it may concern, I just heard about Mr. Wallace on the news as a special education teacher who's students made him a banner before he left for war saying 'wherever you go we will follow'. I don't think anyone expected this unfortunate and untimely end to his life. I'm very sorry to hear about this and I off my condolences to his family, friends and students. -Sara A Kenney skenney_7@hotmail.c om

To the family and friends of Nicholas: I grieve with you. My husband, Lt. James Cathey, who also served in 2/2 was killed Aug. 21 by an IED. Know that James loves his marines, and will keep Nicholas by his side in heaven, always.
Troy was a friend of mine, and a special person. He loved being a soldier, and especially a paratrooper. He died honorably, in service of our great country. Please keep Troy's wife, Gail, and Troy's family in your prayers. Never forget the men and women who serve, and sacrifice to give us the freedom that we have!

My thoughts and prayers go out to John and his family. I was not fortunate enough to have known John however my cousin Frankie Straub served with him and died with him. I believe they were called to war for a reason that is they were then called to Heaven. Together they faught, together they die, together they will look down on us, together they will rest in peace, together they will wait for our arivle to the Heavens above. Remember they died doing what they loved and they died for their country and family as well. They fought along side one another and they were called to the Heavens together aswell. They will always be missed and NEVER forgotten. They are both in my heart and forever they will stay. love you guys always

I wish i could have meet him however I believe they were called to war for a reason that is they were then called to Heaven. Together they faught, together they die, together they will look down on us, together they will rest in peace, together they will wait for our arivle to the Heavens above.

They died along side one another as they joined with one another they were called to the Heavens together aswell. They will always be missed and NEVER forgotten.

Thank you, Nate and the Detample Family, for your support of our freedom. Your sacrifice is appreciated and deeply respected. My heart goes out to you as the loss of your son is a pain that is incomprehensible. I pray that your faith and family commitment, which was so evident during the services for Nate, will continue to help heal the pain and sorry in your hearts.
I'm so sorry for your child's loss. It must be really hard going about life every day and knowing you can't see your son. September 11th. was a cruel harsh dark day for all and I believe we can all just remember our loved ones and keep them in our hearts. Once again, i'm sorry for the death of your son and i hope as years go by you all get better. Thanks for listening.
I did not know you, but I do know that you volunteered to serve this country and its people and kept your promise when called. The cost of your dedication was everything you had. I am humbled by your sacrifice. There is no way to thank you, but - thank you.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Nate and his family. This world has lost an amazing person. I remember in elementary school, we put on a Thankgiving play. We all did mini-speeches in pairs and nate was my partner. I'll always have that memory. He will truly be missed.
You are my hero. You have always been the light of my world, and the love of my life. I miss you more every day. When my "deployment" ends, we will be reunited again, forever. All my love, darling man, for you.
Hi baby just dropping a line to say how much I miss you. I keep hoping I wake up from this nightmare and you come home to me next month. I never pictured life without you and now I just feel empty. My family tells me it will pass but Im not sure it will. I love you so much. You know that country song That says " if you get there before i do, dont give up on me, ill meet you when my chores are though, i dont know how long ill be. im not gonna let you down, darling wait and see. between now and then till i see you again ill be loving you...love me" we sang it together a few times on the radio ( when you werent singing frank sanata to me...lol) well just remember that verse, we'll be together again, i promise! I love you baby.
I feel fortunate to have known Robert Macrum whom I will always remember as Bobby. I had the privilage of knowing Bobbys family and seeing Bobby grow up during two periods of his life. What I remember the most was his dirty blonde hair, mischevious smile, and eyes that sparkled with life. Bobby was a fun kid to be around and always kept things interesting. There is no question that Bobby was the apple of his mothers eye and was deeply loved by his sister. Unfortunately life eventually led me away from Bobbys family and I did not have the pleasure of knowing Bobby as a young man. Though I am confident Bobby became a handsome, confident and brave sailor that I will always remember gave his life protecting this country that I love.
I feel blessed to have these memories of such a beautiful soul.
My Heart And Prayers Go Out To The Krueger And Macrum Families.
Rest in Peace, Jerry. Nawa'y ang hinanakit ng iyong pamilya sa pagka-wala mo ay mapuno ng pagtatanggap na ngayo'y nasa mabuti kang kalagayan--sa kamay ng Diyos. God bless you, Jerry, and condolences to your family.
George, You will be loved and missed for enternity, You were the greatest man I ever knew and will cherish all the wonderful memories. I love and miss you so much. I honor you for your bravery, and will keep you alive in my heart, your "sister"
I met Eric briefly when he came to visit his friend and mine Steve B. in Los Angeles. Steve had invited his brother and Eric out to dinner at a restaurant I was managing in Santa Monica, Steve had mentioned to Eric that I had been in the Marines and Eric was quick to make conversation with me. I knew he was getting ready to ship out in a few months and I remember telling him to be safe and that I looked forward to seeing him when he returned and wanting to listen to all his stories.
I am truely sadened by Erics death and my heart goes out to his family and those who knew him better than I. I called Steve when he was on the other line and he had just received word of what had happened. We got together a few hours later, and almost polished off a fifth of Jack in Erics memory.
Eric you may be gone but you will never be forgotten...rest peacefully soldier........ -JS
Thank you for your service son. Though I do not know you or your family, I know that you are a Marine and that says it all. To the family of Daniel Thank you for your sacrafice. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Though I did not have the privilege to know you, I am one of the nameless thousands who mourn each soul who does not return home, and prays daily for the comfort of those who grieve.
Brian was a dear friend to me, we could talk for hours about nothing at all or everything. I miss talking to him, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could do to ease the pain but when you lose someone like Brian, the pain is too great. Brian would want us all to carry on and live life like he did...by the seat of our pants. To his family: I cannot put into words what he ment to me, I will say this, he saved my life. Because of him I am alive. To Belinda: I know how it feels to lose the man that you love, my husband died a year ago, it does not go away but life does go on. You have his girls, you will forever have him in your heart, he will be with you always. To his girls: Your dad was one of the greatest men I have ever known, you know what people thought of him all I ask is that you live like he did. When you follow the road your father took you will learn to walk like him. To my fellow Shipmates: Let's have a Dr. Pepper for our friend Joppy, and maybe a few jokes. GO SOONERS!!!!!! We beat Nabraska at least!
THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN UNCOVER THE VAST AREAS OF EMOTIONS YOUR DEATH BRINGS. SO MANY HAVE MISSED OUT ON NOT KNOWING YOU FIRST HAND, AND FOR THOSE WHO HAVE, IT IS A TREMEMDOUSE LOSS FOR US ALL... JESUS BE WITH YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Christian, I can't describe how I felt to see your picture in the paper. I recognised you instantly and dropped the paper. We worked together, back in the day, at Loot for a while. I think I may have done your interview and taken you on (good decision!). You left to travel when I was on maternity leave and I always heard positive things about you. I am so glad that I attended your funeral so that I could share my thoughts with you. It was a comforting, warm and surprisingly uplifting ceremony. Your friends and family really did you proud. You touched my life by not being a stereotype and for following your dreams. I will never forget you. I know that God made our paths cross for a reason and for that I thank you. May you rest in peace. Your spirit lives on. Michelle.
Josh we are all so very proud of you and none of us will ever forget you and how you sacraficed your life for our freedom. May god accept you into his kingdom and may your spirit always be free. God bless you soul until we meet again. We will miss you dearly.
George ~ Your love for your family and your country is everlasting ~ I love and miss you so MUCH and know that someday we will be together again ~ I am who I am because you loved me and will be your wife now and into eternity. All my love always ~
Frank, I am thinking about you today on your birthday. I hope that your soul is at peace. I also pray that God helps your family and everyone who cares about you. Uncle Frank
