Cpl. Chad Powell’s wife, Danielle Powell, and his parents, Jerry and Brenda Powell, were notified Friday morning that their son had died in the attack Thursday night.

“We’re sitting here grieving,” Jerry Powell of western Ouachita Parish told The News-Star of Monroe.

According to a Marine Corps statement, two Marines — a man and a woman — died in the attack, and three Marines and a sailor were listed as missing but believed dead. Thirteen other Marines, 11 of them women, were wounded.

  I have only known your family for a short time, but I got my best friend from you, Danielle, if it wasn't for you I would have never met her and Isabella would never have met Elijah. I promise you that I will try to make something of your sacrifice and you have my promise to love and always take care of Danielle and Elijah for the rest of my life. I always felt like I knew you well through your wife, and we pray for you every night, and always will. You are thought of each and every day that I live, men/marines like you are seldom found in life. God bless you.


Love,

Heidi L.Whitney

  To my dearest husband-

It has been a little over a month since you went away...it still seems so unreal. I miss you more and more everyday. Our son Elijah (3 yrs.) asks about you every day and it kills me to see him hurting. I tell him what an amazing person you were and how you loved him so much, but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I pray that you are now at peace and I also pray that this country will someday find that as well. You are my heart, my soul, my world, you will never be forgotten. May you always rest in peace my sweet angel. I love you now and forever. Love- Danielle

  Dear Chad,

HONEST TO GOD...I swear I have posted to you TWICE before...but for some reason it has been not posted here.


I love your smile and I am so sorry we lost you to this war. God bless you and yours and may yours be comforted in the idea that you were doing what you believed in.


May you rest in peace and may God hold you in the palm of God's hand.


Thank you,

  I just stood by the side of the road and watched the funeral procession to your church. My heart is full of admiration and respect for all that you have sacrificed for your country. My prayers go out to your wife and son - may they know how much the sacrifice you and your family have made, means to us.

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

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.

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.
