  This is SGT Christopher Leon. I was good friends with Katie when she died. We were in the same unit together. I was out there with her when her convoy was attack, I was at my Iraqi Police Station conducting training when I heard the radio traffic come from one of their drivers sending the SITREP to our battle space owners. That radio transmission haunts me to this day and I still feel that my squad should have dont something about it. I miss Katie very much and wish that I could see her just one more time. She was a great person, friend and Soldier. I can only imagine what her parents must feel about their daughter. They raised a wonderful daughter who put other peoples need before her own and would bend over backwards for her friends and family. God has recruiter a wonderful Angel into his kingdom. I just only hope that she is watching over her family first and foremost and over us, the men an women who sacrifice their lives everyday will deployed to a combat zone. I miss you Katie and I will see you once God needs me up there.

  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!

  My condolences to the family of Katie. I am a soldier at Fort Hood, though I do not know Katie, I have had friends depart to Iraq. A few of them have not come back. I do have information of a plaque that a nurse has done through the request from another soldier. that soldier has departed the army so the nurse has no way of getting hold of katie's family members to send them that special plaque. i can be reached at (Email Link)

  for the information of the readers, pfc soenkson was not killed while transporting office supplies. she was involved with training iraqi forces to be able to take over control of their own country, and was killed while patroling one of the most dangerous neighborhood in bagdad. dont express your ingorance by assuming women are only allowed to deliver staplers

  How awful it is to take someone who is so full of pride and honor to serve their country and then cost them their life just to provide security for a convoy transporting office equipment to a high ranking officer. I hope his office equipment went with Katie. Regardless of why you were sent on that mission, you were following orders and died a hero. I am deeply saddened by the news of your death, what a terrible waste. I wish someone would send a message to these idiots that our soldiers are not expendable for their own personal gain. RIP Katie

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.
