Saturday 12th Dec 2009 Warriors Walk at 12 noon, My 9yr old son, a fellow Army Spouse, and I honored PFC Hanson by laying a wreath at his tree. We will never know this Warrior, but he will forever be honored and never forgotten for he made the ultimate sacrifice. To the family, we send our hearts.
I was Jonathan's commander in both companies at FT Lewis and I was a great fan of his. He was a great Soldier and a better person. I just learned of his passing and wanted to pass along my sympathies. You raised a great man. if you would like to write my e-mail is (Email Link).
I would like to express my condolences to the Metzger family. They were my neighbors for three years , and our sons played together often. This war has claimed the life of not only a soldier, but a father as well. I only hope his memory stays alive so his boys will always remember him. Rest in peace. May God be with the family, and bring them comfort and peace.The Saffore family
My name is Kermit Smith. I worked with DynCorp as a mentor for the Afghans National Police from 2006-2008 and worked along side Major "Hank" Ofeciar and his PMT. It is far overdue but I submit my condolences to his family and friends as I know he is missed. He was a great man and contributed greatly to the mission.
I went to H.S. with Nekl. He was a wonderful guy. Nekl was the guy you could count on, a true friend. He was always good for a laugh. He touched the lives of everyone he knew.
My favorite memory was him trying to teach me and my friend tiffany how to drive a standard. He let us jerk and stall out his car a hundred times, nothing much came out of the lesson aside from a headache and a few laughs. It was a great experience. He will be greatly missed! My prayers and thought are with his family.Christine C.
Niall was my adopted son in the sense that I could not have loved my own son any more than I loved Niall.He was my neighbor, my friend, my son.Niall's joy of life, loving personality, caring heart and laughter will be what I remember about this wonderful man, taken from us much too soon.Niall is now in the presence of God and the angels, laughing and joking and at eternal peace.
Niall, you have not and never will leave my heart as there is a place there especially made for you.I miss you and love you dear, sweet son.
Kyle, I did not know you but I would like your family and friends to know how much I appreciate your service to your country and to US, the people you died for.You will never be forgotten.May God's abiding love bring some peace to their hearts and may you be with Him in eternal peace.
Billy, you don't know me but I know you. Every time I go through THE traffic light in Adrian I think of you and your family. Rest in peace. Your life meant something.
Seth,It has been so long since we spoke. Where does the time go? It was shocking to find out of your passing, We never forgot you or that wild and crazy summer. I know you died defending our freedom and doing what made you happy, you always danced to your own tune. I pray you didnt suffer, and will remember your brilliant and beautiful energy and spirit. We will never forget you, or your friendship we had for such a short time. We will always remember you as our friend that summer so long ago, and all the fun we had. We are all better people for knowing you, and blessed beyond measure to have you in our lives despite the short time, or the long days since we last saw you. Rest in peace Seth Hildreth. You were a great friend, and we will always cherish your memory, and remember the sacrifice you made for all of us. Goodbye for now brave soldier, you died a hero, and your death was not in vain, but will be revealed in God's master plan.
I remember the good day of high school with dan... and its very sad to learn of another friends passing... i only hope that i can be a great as he was in my own military career... I wish his family nothing but the best in years to come.
To the Anderson family,I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. I am a 21 year old female in the Army and I have been since 2005 as well. This past Veterans Day I attended a school in Texas who had a tribute to our fallen soldiers. Everyone in the room had a glow stick with a fallen soldiers name, age, city, and state. While the vice principal (A former Marine) was singing Angels among us better than any one who has ever sang it before we all in sequence cracked our glow sticks and twirled them around like a eveclear concert. I wore mine around my neck all day in uniform. Your son happened to be on my glow stick. I am grateful for his service and sacrifice. May he rest in peace. If you would like to contact me please feel free to write me or call me at any time (Email Link) 281-804-4382

Jeremy was my buddy during green platoon and when he hurt his ankle I wrapped it every mornig and put his boot on him so he could finish the course. His ankle was purple and swollen but he wanted to finish. We were both family men and enjoyed going to Golden Coral and just hanging out during the 5 weeks at green plattoon. He was with me in my red truck when I drove off the 3 foot cirb of a dark parking lot, while trying to find our way to the NCO club. HA, HA. ( good times) He was definately not a quiter, but now that he is gone I wish I hadn't helped him finish. I am sorry friend and to your wife and child I am also sorry for your loss. He is still missed. My b-day is 13 Feb and I never forget the loss that time of year. I was scheduled for deployment with him to Afganistan, but was removed from manifest for medical reasons. Thankful, but the loss will never be forgotten.Sorry,Teddy Sawtelle
My Dad, two Sons, Uncle and myself are all Marines. Todd is among the Brotherhhod that will never end. He guards the Gates of Heaven for all of us. SemperFi Todd...
I miss you so much corazon... and i never thought that life would be so hard without you. Your daughters are still crying so often and i tell them that when we become angels.. we will see each other again... i will always love you...your wife

To the family of Matthew Reece ~ I have never met your son but I feel like I know him well. My new son-in-law, a member of the 82nd, was a good friend. When Ben married my daugther in August there was a place of honor for Matthew, his framed picture sitting on the table for all to see. The judge who officiated at the ceremony told those at the wedding about Matthew, and Debo and Lane and just what they meant to Ben. Please know gentlemen, you are not forgotten. Thanks for sharing the moment ~ Forever and always!
I still think of you everyday, God Bless you and your family, and thank you for your sacrifice so that we may live free, you are my hero now and forever...
My nephew and godson Brennan lived, served and was with your Lukas on that terrible day. He speaks so highly of your Lukas and looked forward to rooming with him. Our deepest thanks and sympathies to your family and Lukas for all that you and he have sacrificed. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you in the palm of His handKate Z Shea
u are gone but never forgotten...those at armwood high school will forever be indebt to ur services to keep our great nation safe. u gave the ultimate sacrife for our freedom
Dave, you are deeply missed. I'm sorry the stigma about a vehicle accident still hovers above your passing but for those that were there we really know what happened. The Command should be ashamed of themselves for the position they took regarding this whole situation. Calling this an accident was an insult to the whole team and to the family members of all the injured team members. Everytime I read on the net that this was an accident it tears me up to no end knowing we didn't get the support we deserved. I'm still baffled how they came to the "accident" conclusion. I'm proud of you, the team, and all that we accomplished together ... we sure did kick ass! RIP Enforcer! .... Pape
Thank you for your service to Our Great Nation. Words can not express the graduate you have sacrifice for the People of United StatesPatriot Guard Rider

For Matthew Pucino - I am a greatful American, not worthy of having you die for me. Please know that you are not forgotten and that many, many Americans are praying for you and for your family at this terrible time I trust the good Lord has you in his hands and will give you peace and comfort. I am so sorry that you have been lost to this world way too soon. May God Bless you and your family.Joanne G, a NH soldier's mom
I just read this soldiers story.. Thank you SGT Owen for your service and your sacrifice. You lived a hero and died a hero. Forever you shall remain a hero and not be forgotten. May you Rest in Peace .. A grateful American. Lydia Goodwin
