May God give you peace amd comfort now and in the future. Jordan was a hero and his and your sacrifice will not be forgotten. I know that you will always have a hole in your lives, but know that Jordan has gone on to stand guard in heaven. And he waits for you there.

Chris is still in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. We constantly pray for your family and still miss him."Almighty Father , whose command is over all and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family. Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.
I read about benjamin kopp making rounds around his base in afghanistan, at the begining of the year. and his face stayed in my heart, since like to keep up with this nonsense of a war we are fighting. today i read that he has died. and i feel sadden by this news. He is one of the few angels roaming earth. sincere sympathy. i have a daughter in the service and a son in law that has done 2 trips to iraq. GOD BLESS OUR HEROES!
To the family and friends of Lance Corporal Bolding, I wish the swiftest realization possible that your son and friend is in a better place, and that he served with the utmost degree of honor. I hope to God that I never have to lead Marines through what he endured, but if that duty falls on me, I will consider myself blessed. The responsibility is a privilege and a burden.
To Kane's Family,I came on this site to light another candle for my husband who was lost on 9/11 and saw Kane's photo because someone posted a condolence. My heart broke and I cannot stop the tears. He was such a handsome young man. Way to young to be taken from you. Please accept my sincerest condolences and please know that I will keep you in my prayers and as was said before my post. "I too thank Kane for his bravery and for helping us to keep our freedom....I am so sorry for your loss..Barbara Chucknick..wife of Steve Chucknick killed on 9/11

God Bless you buddy. I've gotten to know your little brother and i know that he and your family miss you so much.

If you know him please have him call. We are in the same place but the number has changed but we're in the book. Lori also has a memorial site on Facebook. God Bless us all.

Brett was the first kid I met heading into basic training at Fort Benning. We met at the airport in Indianapolis, and became friends on the spot. In fact, I don't believe he had ever met a stranger. I remember his calm, confident, friendly demeanor, his never-wavering positive attitude, his contagious smile, and his zest for life. Brett was hands down one of the most unique and inspiring people I have ever met. Although we only spent a few months in close proximity over eight years ago, and soon fell out of touch, just knowing Brett changed who I was for the better. When I heard the tragic news, I was overcome with emotion. I couldn't help but thinking over and over, "why would God let this happen to such a genuinely good person". I came to realize its just part of his plan, and no matter how hard we try sometimes we just can't see the big picture from our vantage point. I wanted very badly to attend his funeral but unfortunately he had moved to PA. I tried in vain to find a way to pay my condolences but was unsuccessful until now. So here's to you Brett, you will never be forgotten. Your life was a testament to your faith in God. I'm sure you have brought many people closer to Him as you did for me, and your legacy will live on through the lives you have touched. See you soon my friend.
( If anyone has any information to share as far as memorials or anything really please email me at (Email Link) it would mean alot to me , thanks ,Adam)

I know Brad would want all of us to stay strong and just be proud of what he gave. RIP SFC Brad Bohle. We will meet again one day. Love you!
I mourn your loss as if you were my brother. I saw your face, only briefly, as I entered the elevator to go downstairs for a smoke. This is a secret only you and I know, but it is only now after many years I understand the person that you were and mourn your loss ever more. RIP my brother.
Loc, you are loved and missed brother. I look at your picture everyday, and tears cloud my eyes. I still can't believe that you are gone. I can still hear you laughing and singing. I cannot hold back the tears on this day. I am honored to have known you and served with you. You will always be my brother. You will be forever missed, and never forgotten.
Kristofer, Their is not a moment that does not go by that I'm not thinking of you. I miss you sooo much. I even dream that I'm trying to save you. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you. To this day I still haven't been able to shut off your cell phone I wish it would ring and it would be you calling it just sits on the counter and I pray it would ring from you. Everyday I work on the organization "Never Forget Our Fallen" to do my part to remember ALL Veterans Past and Present. If you would like to read more about Kris visit (More Info)

To the Fowlkes Family: There are many veterans groups who are even now engaging Bank of America for the actions of their branch manager in the removal of the American Flags along the route of the funeral cortege. Many of us have our sons and daughters in the military and in harms way, as well. We stand beside you as you grieve. We honor the service of your son, Christopher, a true American Hero. May God Bless you and sustain you in this most terrible of times for your family.
