You are in my thoughts everyday as a train new soldiers knowng that they too could make the ultimate sacrifice. May God be with your famly and peace in their hearts until you meet again.
"Softly falls the light of day as your campfire fades away, silently you always ask have i done my daily task. Have i kept my honor bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared, everything to be prepared." Always the faithful Scout, always the great Marine! You will forever be remembered and loved.
On July 23, 2009, a hole in my heart was created. This will never heal. My every waking moments are thoughts of you. You as a baby, you as a small child, you as a teenager, and you as the man. You are a great man and a great Marine. I will never let you or your sacrifice be forgotten. I always told you that no matter where you are in this world - you are always in my heart. Rest easy my son.
God Bless you John! You will be truly missed by all. Thank you for your service. Your fellow marines will continue to fight in your honor. Although your life was cut short, your inpact on those around you will live forever. Semper Fi!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time. You are a hero without question, may god bless you and your family. Rest in peace my friend..........

He was a truely amazing and brave young man, thank you Jeremy! We all should help his family out even if it is just by saying that he is our HOMETOWN HERO and will never be forgotten.
It takes a very special person to be a hero and you are such that person Cory. Your bravery to protect and serve our Nation will never be forgotten. May your family and friends find peace and comfort, and know that others care. You and the service to your country will not be forgotten.
I had no idea Monique had passed away during 9/11. We all graduated from Murray Bergtraum High School and went our separate ways. The last time I saw Monique was at graduation and she had such a wonderful smile, as she alwasy had. Monique was such a wonderful friend. I will think of her and keep her in my prayers. God Bless You and may you rest in peace!
Godspeed Brendan. We will forever be grateful for the selfless sacrifice you have given in protecting our freedom. We love you and we will never ever forget you. --The Barrett Family

My son, SGT Jonathan K Peney (22), was killed in action on June 1st, 2010 at 1000 EST. Jon is an Army Ranger Medic. He has always wanted to be a solider. He loves our country. I love my son. The worse possible nightmare to a mother is to see the notification team walking towards you in full dress uniform. But what allows me to grieve is what stands behind those uniforms. I know my son was doing what he loved - protecting our freedoms!!!!! He did not hesitate to go to the aid of another fallen Ranger when a sniper mortally wounded my son. Jon comes home today and I cry not only because I will not see his face and mischief pranks but because most Americans don't understand "freedom is not free". Freedom is earned and respected. Freedom is a privilege. My son is a hero but to me he is my son and child. Jon will be missed but never forgotten. Jon and many others who give the ultimate sacrifice do so with pride and no regrets. God bless America and long may it's flag wave! God bless all who serve in the military.
I ask that each and everyone of you when you see an individual in uniform to acknowledge their presence. This can be done by simply place your right open hand over your heart as you walk by them. Pay for their cup of coffee. Pay for their meal - you don't have to let them know you are doing this kind gesture. Just ask your waitress to pay for them without any grand affair. Our military men and women do not receive enough recognition from us. They deserve kindness. I am a hugging person so I just usually walk up to them and give a hug. Handshakes are good. You never know if that solider sitting at the airport or walking down the street has just returned to our wonderful country from a war torn area. You don't know what those eyes and heart are carrying all for the sake of our freedoms! You don't know if that solider is going to war and doesn't know what to expect he will see. We all need to stand up PROUD to be an American and support our military. God Bless America and all who serve in our military.
My dear son - welcome home! You did not die in vain! I love you. Mom
These should be relatively firm details but still considered tentative plans because they all depend on the arrival of our beloved "Doc" Peney. These are being forwarded to give an estimate of the timing for all whom are traveling. The family does not want babies nor small children (infants to 5 years old) to attend.

My thoughts with SSG Barnard's family during this hard time and coping. My heart aches for his children; God speed. I work at the MAMC and the flag is being flown half-staff today in honor of him. I am originally from Willow Lake/Vienna area so this seemed to hit home more.
If tears could build a memory and memories a lane Id walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. I love you and miss you so much James. Love your Aunt Missy
