Daniel S. Noble, 21

It is hard to believe it has been almost a year.
So many people miss him so much. We had not realized how much impact he had had in our lives until he was gone. For all the people who never knew Daniel I feel sorry for you, Its like You missed some amazing cosmic once in a lifetime event and everybody who was there is always talking about how wonderful that was and you will never really know what you missed.
He was a great kid and a fine young man and his spirit lives on in the hearts of all those who knew him. He made the world better.

i didnt really know daniel but i knew who he was. i remember seeing him around school at lmhs and i was so intimidated! not because he was mean or anything, i was just intimidated. i could sense a sort of goodness from him, he seemed so sweet to everyone around him. regretably i never got the chance to actually say hello or anything to him, but if i had the chance now i would thank him untill i could think of no other words to say. the world was a better place with him here, but now heaven is enjoying his company. but i take great pride in knowing that someday i will meet him in heaven and finally get to tell him what a hero i know he is.

I did not know Daniel, but as a Mother of a US Marine now serving in Iraq that is the same age and also lives in the same town I say to all that know this young man Daniel Noble He is *TRULY A HERO* and I know that He is now with our Creator in a much better place that we too will someday be. Then he will reunite with all his friends and family. Thank you Daniel for your ULTIMATE SACRAFICE..

I was born and raised in LM, live here now, and teach middle school here. I am proud to know that a hero like this young man came from my hometown. The world is a better place because of Daniel and men like him. We live day-to-day without having to think about their sacrifices; and that's exactly why they do what they do, so their fellow Americans can enjoy that type of freedom and peace of mind. It's sad that he had to go so early; but the impact Daniel and his comrades have made on this world will go on. I pray that this fact helps ease his family's pain, that they take pride in his courage, and know that one day they will celebrate together on the other side.

I too was a Navy Corpsman with 1st Marines 2/1 and Regiment. I did not know him personally but I know what his role was with the Marines.
Hospital Corpsman Pledge reads....
I solemnly place myself before God and these witnesses to faithfully perform all of my duties as a member of the Hospital Corps. I hold the care of the sick and injured to be a privilege and a sacred trust, and will assist the Medical Department Officer with loyalty and honesty. I will not knowingly permit harm to come to any patient. I will not partake of or administer any unauthorized medication. I will hold all personal matters pertaining to the private life of patients in strictest confidence. I dedicate my heart, mind and strength to the work before me. I shall do all within my power to show in myself an example of all that is honorable and good throughout my Naval career. I feel he has fullfilled this and beyond. Semper Fi DOC.
