always a gentleman and good influence on his peers.Having moved away, I did not realize what had happened until recently.
The kind of person you NEVER forget, worthy of everyone's respect. A soldier who would put his buddies'lives ahead of his own. A soldier who made his family and country proud. Our prayers for his family on this Memorial Day.
I wish I was talking directly to you.. Thank you and your family for the ultimate sacrafice you made for all of us.. Talking to you made me want to push harder and do more.. Thank you for being my friend and I will see you soon. But, not to soon!
It is Memorial Day. I was jogging in the park today and I was handed a piece of paper with the name of a fallen soldier. Brian's name was the random name handed to me.he is one of many heroes who has made the ultimate sacrifice for me and my family. I am truly grateful for Brian and the numerous other American soldiers who insure my freedom and safety.God Bless Brianand his familyRob RobertsSavannah, GA
You were one of the coolest kids I have ever met. Bravo Company 2-29 infantry was your first unit and I was there with you. I enjoyed every second knowing you because your personality was so positive and uplifting. I have good memories and pictures that I keep close to honor you my friend. This day I chose, this day to show my gratitude for your sacrifice, but undoubtedly, you will be honored forever...Joey Wright
My sincere condolences to the family of Katie Soenksen. My son will never forget that fateful night... and he will never speak of it again since telling me the sad, sad story... Her last words, 'Tell them I love them and I'll be watching' are words even I can never forget. God Bless You for having the strength I don't know if I could have myself!

to an amazing young man who i had the honor of playing football with you are greatly missed. cant believe almost five years. if i ever had a problem in a class or remembering a play from the play book john was there. when i needed to dig deeper in the weight room or on the field john was there. for help or courage john was always there. i remember a game where he broke his ankle and he wouldn't leave the side lines to go to the ER until after the game was over, tuff as nails i told him tuff as nails. john lived life with no fear with no tomarrow he lived for the moment, but yet the nicest guy everyone shoulda had the privelage of knowing. rest in peace. and thank you for defending our freedom.

Jeff was one of the first guys i met when i was transferred to 2-15 he was also without a doubt the most thoughtful. in garrison he was the one i could count unfortunately being a 13f i was transferred to a infantry unit and lost contact with him i was and still am sorry for the loss he made a difference in the time he was with us and his life has impacted everyone who knew him for the better. i think about you all the time brother rip
The realities of war seemed so far away, then a young man from my childhood fell...I heard his name on the news...then I saw a picture of him and the reality of war hit me. I have always had respect for those in service to our country but hearing of Dariek's fall made me more aware of the realities of war. My brother is heading home today after 11 months in Afghanistan...Monday could have had a very different meaning to us personaly! Please know we will be praying for Dariek's family!!! -Monnica

For every freedom we have, some brave person fought and died. We always want it to be someone else's friend, neighbor, son or daughter. We always want to respect that sacrifice, but not feel the pain so personal, so close that hurts.I am sorry that Dennis had to be one of those people we talk about and honor.Love and peace to you and your family. The price is painful, yet necessary for our freedom and survival.
You have given the supreme sacrifice for your country. May you rest in peace knowing that your job has been well-done. And may Our Lord be with your family. Cousins Pat and Joe Verderami
In my way of honoring and thanking every service member engaged in the battle for our freedom I try to read of every service members ultimate sacrifice so I CAN BE FREE... I just (3 years late) read of Lance Cpl. Veater's death and story of how he was preparing to come home, marry his sweetheart and begin a life as an responsible, honoring new father. I was brought to tears in reading his and his fiancee's story.I hope in some way, that God allows Dennis's and all the other fallen Marines and soldiers to know how THANKFUL I am of them and how I try to burn their name into my memory to HONOR THEM. THis Monday, Memorial day will be a somber day for me and I will not use this day to go to a lake or barbecue or sit around drinking like most Americans do. I will visit the local military cemetery and walk the final resting places ( of the BRAVE ONES THAT STOOD UP FOR ME AND LAID DOWN THEIR LIFE SO I CAN BE FREE) AND I WILL THANK THEM.! I WILL HONOR THEM AND DENNIS.
Dennis, I pray you are in everlasting peace and watching your young son grow up, I pray your fiancee, Angalene, has found the strength and will to somehow put her fractured life back together, I pray for each of your Mother, Father and siblings in that their tears have been replaced with happy PROUD memories of you.THANK YOU MARINE... THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY. I HONOR THE MEMORY OF U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Dennis J. Veater, 20 years old from Jessup, Penn.
Hello my name is Cpl Corona.. I knew Cpl Johnson only for a few months while going through a course with him that started in late Oct and ended in mid Dec " Anti Tank Missile Man Leader Course." He had us laughing most the time but he was a very smart marine and knew when it was time to be serious. I`m sorry for the loss of Cpl Johnson as well as the other marines who have been WIA or KIA. My unit 2/1 will be relieving them in Oct. My heart goes out to the marines families and I am very honored to have known Cpl Johnson.
I will never forget you...your always on my mind. I wish I could've been there to save you. I still miss you so much. "Don't forget about us" is what you told me...I'm still sad battle. Love you much & I'll meet you there in heaven. -J
My name is Leila and I met Robert in Djibout mid 80's. I just heard of the news of his death today and am saddened. I have not spoken to Robert for almost 15 years but have always wished him the best. To his family, lovely wife and beautiful daughter....I am truly sorry for your enormous loss. Robert was a great human being with a big heart.
RIP John, I consider myself lucky to have known you and your family. The country was even luckier to have someone like you watching over us.Thx John McHughTyrone Holloway
I haven't seen you in a few years but when I opened the paper and heard the news I was so deeply shocked and sadden. We went to Elementy school and finished at Lee together. May you Rest in Peace and God bless the rest of your family.Richard K.
I have spoken with all of your battle buddies, those that were with you when you died, they all agreed that you were "The Bravest of Them All". That is a tribute to you that defines the man you were.
A captian told me that "when everyone eslse would step back from dangerous missions, you would always step forward".
That would make any father proud of his son and certianly makes this father proud of You! Thanks for being a great soldier and son.Five years and we still miss you!Pa

COL McHugh's Family. I am sorry for your loss. I was in Afghanistan back in 04 and I just wish we where doing more of an effort to control the country rather than sitting and waiting till now to take the areas back. Please know we all honor this fallen officer.

I really dont know Manika Narula nor have I ever met her in my life, but from what I read from other websites about her, it seems that she was a very loved person who all admired. Just by looking at her picture, I see that she was extreamly beautiful and had a huge heart of happiness. May she rest in peace and may her loving soul be remember forever! -Connie

God bless you and rest in peace! -Connie
I don't know what to say. Its been too long since we've last met, you graduated when I was still a freshman. Back in then, i was asked once who among the student body i desired to emulate. I said it was you...For all your faults, you were one of the best of us, and now you are among the first of us to die in this war. There's nothing much to say to that...Go with god, man...

Oh I pulled out my Old Green Army Values Card. You gave it to me after the FTX. I have the new one also but I just could never take the ugly green one off. So its nice that I have something you gave me to remember. Well I have many memories but this one I have with me.SSG Fowler, TimothyAlways Forward
Sgt Mena, It was an honor for me to escort you to your final resting place on this earth. I belive doing the PGR missions helps with issues I have from combat and issues of friends dying over there.SSG Fowler
It still hurts even though its been a little bit of time now and you'd think i had just a bit of time to let it all sink in and register that you are gone. I love you with all my heart and I miss you like a fat kid misses cake, I can't even begin to imagine what a yr from now will look like but I do know that it wont be any easier but I can tell you I will always have you in my heart and you'll always be my superman. I will miss you till the day that god allows me to join you again and be happy just like the good ol days when we were in school and doing silly things together. J.l.B may you rest in peace and watch over us
Drill Sgt Gutierrez. Wow I am so shocked. You made such a good impression on me. I made it all the way from PVT to SSG because of your mentorship. I think the one thing I will remember is because I was Prior FA you took it pretty easy on me. I also remember when on FTX you putting a CS Canister on a stick and was running up and down our foxhole line. I was PG for most of the cycle so in that time I remember haveing to help some of our Soldiers get there mask on. You helped bring the Leader out in me. I can only offer my eternal Thank You. You will not be forgotten.SSG Timothy A FowlerAlways Forward
