Gary always stood up for me in high school. He was my best friend and like a big brother to me. I miss him every day and I pray for his family. God Bless you Gary! You made us very very very proud.
if only the world was ready for the truth about this so called war and what really happened to a lot of our fallen soldiers.everybody misses u and says this should never have happened but its been 4yrs already and it still seems like today and everyday we love you and miss u r always with us
as much as I respect what is written, it is not fully accurate, but I wont be the one to correct. Thank you Matthew "Mattchu" Zeimer. All of us miss you very much
As I have been on Facebook, I have had to look up a few people that I didn't remember from high school, including some I had known all the way back to the beginnings in elementary school. Rob came to Sherrard my senior year and although I didn't really know him, I knew exactly who it was when I heard the news. I had only known him the one year but he made more of an impression on me than most others I had known for many, many more years. When I had learned of his death the only thing that was not shocking was that he was over there fighting for us.
He was such a respectful and full of life young man, who never had anything negative to say about anyone!!! I'm glad I had the chance to know him personally. He is truly missed!!!!! Love Always Katia Jordan
i miss you dougie. everyday i ask why.i love you my dear nephew. i miss you, its hard to see the future without you. this isnt how it was suppose to be. i was suppose to come an vist you an katie an the kids. i am having a hard time. i will see you in Heaven
I am the woman who gave your wife, friend and baby water at the end of the Memorial Day Service at Washington Crossing (least I could do). I read about Demetrius on the internet and want you to know that his sacrifice is greatly appreciated. I am so sorry for your loss; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey V-hav, just letting you know you're not forgotten this Memorial Day.I am still in just as much shock when I think about this today as when the BN CO told me about it over the phone when he was checking up on me in the hospital. When we were in Tank School, you were the nicest Marine I ever met - too nice for a Marine to be honest. I hope the Corps didn't take that away from you while you were with us.Semper Fi brother, and hope your family is still doing well. - Former LCpl. Matt Sevald A Co, 3rd Plt 2DTKBN 2DMARDIV
As a long time friend of a soldier in his battalion I was told to honor Blair on this Memorial Day.Thank you for your service, it is unfortunate that you are not around to continue to touch lives so positively. You obviously made an impression on one of my life-long friends and I'm sorry that I never got a chance to thank you in person.God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for your dedication to your country, your family, and your friends.Deltona loves you, and will always keep you close.Your dedication ceremony at Veteran's Memorial Park was beautiful, and we will honor your legacy forever.
To the Family of LCPL Carpenter;Please accept our most heartfelt condolences for your loss.
Our son is in the 3/8 and was in Helmand with your loved one and at his memorial service Thursday .... It is the sacrifice and patriotism of our sons and daughters, these great heros, that make America free and provide us the liberties we enjoy. I cannot imaigne what you may be going through, but I can tell you your loved one, your Marine, gave the ultimate to his country and to his family. I am proud to know my son served with him.God Bless your son, your family and keep our Marines safe as they continue their duties.

Memorial Day, May 30, 2011To David, his family and all those unnamed,On this day we honor and remember our fallen and honor and pray for our living that they may be protected in their service. While we may or may not support the policies that lead us into conflicts, it is our solemn duty to support and honor you who answer the call to service of this great nation and its people. We are called to continue to press for this government to give you ITS all. It is further our duty to work for Peace that we my spare others of the loss of their children, fathers and mothers.
Feeling strange to pen this to one I never knew, perhaps it is most fitting to honor all those who remain unnamed to me and to express my gratitude to you and your families for the ultimate sacrifices of this country’s finest Treasure.David, you were born 3 days before my own son, and died on my birthday. You had a whole life ahead of you, yet you laid it down for your beliefs and for all of us. We rest in certainty that you have a place in the Honor Court prepared for you.It is fitting that you be honored this day for you were some mother’s son and some father’s friend. I weep for you all, Dear Soldiers and Families. God bless you all.
There are so many people who think of you every single day! You most likely would have never guessed what a hero you would have became to so many people! I remember my last time speaking with you in person! You were at john and my house and we took you in our bedroom and told you I was having a baby! You couldnt have been more supportive of us and happy fo us! We miss you and know you have been looking down on us! WE LOVE YOU Amanda G
Mr. and Mrs. Caughman,admire his courage from listening to your stories of
I will never forget your son and his service to our country. I never knew him personally, but grew to your fallen soldier and how the Lexington community adored him. It's on days like today that I will always remember his defense of my families freedom. I know holidays like this have to be tough for your family. Just know that my family will be thinking about Thomas and you today.
Happy Memorial Day!Glenn, Bredae, Daniel and Molly Graves
Anthony,It makes me sad that I can only see your face in photos and hear your voice in my memory, but those thoughts of you make me smile, still. I find myself relating stories about you every now and then, and I love that you're still here with us in that way. See you someday...look out for us until then :) Love, Stefanie.
Our church yesterday had a special service for all military personnel who gave there life for our company and I was given Scott name.Just want your family to know that he isn't forgotten and my prays are with you today.Gary Sinkule
Groove,I miss you, man. I think about you all the time. Especially days like today, Memorial Day. Thank you for being who you were, for doing what you did. You left us way too soon, but I am sure you wouldn't have changed a thing. I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to know you. The flag that flies in my front yard is for you. Thanks for making your life about others. About average guys like myself.Thanks, friend.C. Jordan.

"I still remember the first time I saw Manny when he came in to apply at the Gap in his Peurto Rican Flag embellished denim jacket. He rose from a door guard to a manager and he was the friendliest nicest guy. The last time I saw him was at BBQ's , he was celebrating his enlistment and deployment with his family, he was so proud to have joined after 9.11. Memorial Day is about him and all the other brave people who had the freedom to do anything they wanted in life and chose the military life. RIP Manny Hornedo."
thank you, Staff sgt Curtiss for your sacrifice. My husband came home for R&R and the one thing he left in my care when he returned to Afghanistan was his memorial bracelet for Curtiss for safe keeping. I've seen several of the men that served alongside him that wear their bracelets for Curtiss still even though they have become scratched and faded. He and 4th platoon were deeply affected by the loss of their comrad. He will never be forgotten by any of us that knew him or have heard about him from his fellow soldiers.
May you rest in peace, Lt. Commander Florence B. Choe. You are an inspiration for many and I thank you and all other service members for their bravery and sacrifice.
Because of you and your memorial foundation, I am able to get my MPH in Epidemiology and I promise that you will always be in my heart. You have given me something nobody can take away from me... an education. I plan to dedicate my time providing service in health and I will always remember who made that possible for me.You and your family and friends will remain in my prayers. Thank you so much for all that you have done.Ryan A. Smith, 23

Como una barca de papel que cuando se moja se hundecomo una manzana que al morder la cabeza me confundecomo una veleta que se mueve y al viento no obedece...me gusta como eres.Como la balanza que mide el tiempo, la soledad y el silenciocomo un agujero en el cielo por donde se van los suenoscomo esa cesta que tanto cuesta llenar y que se vacoa al momento...me gusta como eres.Como una herida en el corazon que no me dueleme gusta como erescomo una ventana que al cerrar deja correr el aireuna nina, una madre, una mujer en mi vida.Como una nube cargada de agua que moja la tierra secacomo la manta que me protege cuando el invierno llegacomo esa vela que se prende y me rescata de la oscuridad...me gusta como eres.Como la calle que siempre me lleva a ese sitio al que quiero llegarcomo ese bar en la carretera en el que me paro a descansarcomo esa patria sin bandera en la que me siento libre...me gusta como eres.
I will always remeber that Dave Luff gave his life trying to defeat sky net, so that the terminator was never created, and his mother Sara Conner would not be locked away in a mental institution where she could not raise her son John Conner. Dave gave his life for his mission but unfortunatly Judgement Day is still coming and with it Evil T and The Terminator, perhapps there is still a chance that John Conner will travel back in time to defeat the insurgence that shot Dave Luff....Just maybe.Rest in Peace Dave!!!
I only ever got to meet Dave Luff once, he had a realy cool hotel party in Springdale while he was on leave. I talked to him for years while he was in Iraq and I was in Vancouver, we had planned to go snowboarding in Washington the next time he was on leave...but we never got the chance.Dave was fun to talk to and he told me alot of realy cool stories about Iraq and the military. He belived in his country and what he was fighting for. My heart goes out to his wife, children, and his family. Truely your family, and the world has lost an amazing person.I do know that Dave is not alown in Heaven because tragicly many of our mutual friends have died over the past 5 years, and more seem to go every few months. See yah soon Dave!!! I still owe you a beer and a snow boarding trip.

SFC. Andrew M. Huenink, U.S. Army(ret.) "SCOUTS OUT!"
My dear friend, Lamarol. I sit here saddened knowing that you are gone, being that I just talked to you on April 23.

Brandon you will be definitely be missed. I went to school with you so I knew you when you were that 14 year old sports loving freshman to the great solider and man that you became. I want to thank you for your dedication to your country, your selflessness, knowing it will take you away from your family, especially your beautiful little girl, Heaven. You gave the ultimate sacrifice on 5/18/2011 and you are truly a hero. There will never be an unkind word spoken about you, everyone who you have met will remember the great man that you turned out to be. Your family will always be in my prayers, Charity will never be alone she will have a community to turn to if she needs it. Your family will always see you in your beautiful baby girl's eyes and they will know that know matter what you are always looking down on them. You are their guardian angel, it didn't make sense at first as to why it was you, but god needed a strong warrior in his court and he chose you. This isn't goodbye Brandon, it is just a see ya later. I know you are not alone in heaven,Nicole was waiting for you with open arms. Again thank you again for being a hero, you will never be forgotten
