  Hey stranger, I know I havent written in awhile but Im in training for the police academy....like we always said we would do together, Im fullfilling a lot of the things we planned to do while we were together, just alone.....i know your helping me through it tho, your my strenght. I want to apologize for missing your phone call when you were home on leave. I know cetain people claim things with you and having your familys clearence that its not true helps me a bit but i know as hot headed as you are your probably turning in your grave. We know the truth and we will be together again soon. I just extended my time in the service and Im going all the way with it, if i happen to be deployed to Iraq and not make it back at least i have the comfort of knowing your there with me, i love you so much.

  Frankie,

I just recieved an email from your Aunt Heather and she made me realize that no matter what people say and do they will never have or take away from what we shared. I already knew that but it was a really good reinforcement. I miss you so much. I can't begin to tell you the pain that me or your family feel. There is a void that will never be filled. Aunt Jeanette and I were on the phone for two hours laughing about some of your qualities that we miss so much. Especially the one where you always had to have the last word good or bad. I miss the way you used to bite your lower lip when you were doing something. I also came across a box that I never unpacked from our last apartment. Some of the stuff came in handy now! I'll never understand why you were ripped out of our lives so prematurly. Its a hurt that will never dull or fade. I love you and always will.


Love always

Your Fiancee,

Jamie

  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you in this time of loss. Without men and women like Frank our country would not be what it is today. He is a kind, generous and amazing young man. I think about him everyday and know that he is looking down on you all. Please tell Sean Jr. what an amazing uncle he has.

  Hi Frankie. We all miss you very much. Although it was only once I met you I knew how much compassion and pride you had for what you did. You are a hero and are sorely missed. Your shoes can never be filled but your memory will go on forever.

  Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will. I love you.

  Hey baby just thinking about you. What person in their right mind do you know who writes to someone all the time knowing their never going to write back? I just miss you so much and my love for you is as stronge as ever. I guess writing to you helps me cope with you being gone. Your my strenght and what keeps me going, a part of me died when I found out about what happened and Im striving to find a reason (besides my family) to go on, and your that reason. There are so many things we wanted to acconplish together and i plan on doing as much as i can......fo us. I LOVE YOU.

Jose Ricardo Flores-Mejia

It's been 20 years since your passing... However, I never forgotten the day you told me I am married, I am going to have a baby, and day your son was born... You touched some many lives in different ways in your brief time on this earth in ways others can't imagine... Some people can be given a life time on this earth and accomplish nothing, and there are some people who are given a short time and accomplish so much... You Mr. Flores-Mejia aka Ricky was that person and soldier who accomplish so much in your shoft tme... As I see the days pass by, and the war seems to be a distant memory, your memory is still alive in my life, and still on this and like other days with my grandchildren I sit back like we did many times and listen to those West Coast oldies... "Never Forgotten"


Frank E. Adamski III

To the family of Frank Adamski, including his wife and daughter, my sincere condolences. I plan to make sure he is never forgotten.


Benjamin Walker

Trevor B. Adkins

Adam D. Jones

Happy Birthday, Adam. You are missed so much every minute of everyday! XOXO ~143~ You will forever be in my heart and on my mind. Love always, Tammy


Laurie Cobb

She was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher. Today I'm 32 and still think about her. She was the best teacher ever. From her hair children stories to her bubbly happiness and kindness she spread. I'll never forget her. She was the teacher who had lunch with the kids in her classroom so everyone had someone to be with. She made my school experience amazing. I will never forget her.. I love you Mrs. Cobb. Sincerely, Forever in my thoughts, Alyssa (Viau) Capone


Larry E Polley Jr

SPC Polley died almost two decades ago so I don't know if this message will be seen. In honor of Memorial Day, my agency hands out cards with names of those who have fallen. This year, 2023, I received the card for SPC Polley and was inspired to look up more on him. I am thankful for his service and sacrifice. My condolences to his family. He is not forgotten.


Paul C. Holter III

Miss you brother


Alex D Gonzalez

Love you and miss you always. Since you been gone it has been hard for everyone. I know you loved what you did, and I want to thank you for our freedom. If I can have you back home and safe living your life man everything would be different. No matter how much money they would offer me I would rather have you alive and home. Money comes and go so it's not worth losing you.


Christopher D Young

hello my name is Jesus Vega I would like to give my condolences to Christopher's family and friends, I served with him in Iraq and slept in the same quarters. I have many fond memories of him. I have never forgotten his sacrifice. I would like to share that the greatest memory I had of Chris is that he would speak highly of his mom and how much she meant to him. Chris was a strong minded person and looked out for other. He was kind and friendly the he made friends with everyone. Chris was truly a great man! I sincerely apologize for not sharing sooner. but would like to express that Chris's memory will never be forgotten! though he is not with us he will always be in spirit! If this message gets to Christopher's mother I she could know she raised a great man and for that I thank you.


Jose E Ulloa

Kristopher J. Gould

James David Parker

I knew James David Parker as "Dave" when he lived in Solon Ohio. We met when I moved into town from out of state. He and his group of friends were a year or two older than me. Dave was a bright beacon of hope and joy to me. I was an unsure young man in a strange place. Dave introduced me to many people and ensured his friends always saved me a seat in the lunchroom. I have fond memories of him and his friends during that time. I doubt so many people would have been as wonderful toward me without Dave's incredible kindness. I've never forgotten his kindness. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday.
