why do we have to lose young men who didnt even live half of their lives in a war thats a unjust war we can all stop this plzzzzzzzzzzz do something . R.I.P zack
God bless you man. I remember that day at the track last year. I pray your family is alright.
I got to know Joe for such a short time.Although I had Known his mother Theresa for several years and consider her my dearest friend.We walked through this with Theresa leading the way.She is an Oak.I was with her the day Joe was going down to the recruiter. Joe sr. was coming by to pick her up he felt she should go and support Josephes decision to join the Army although she wasn't in favor of it. But she went and eventually was swayed and Proud as any mother would be to have a son like Joseph. I later moved into the same Apt building that Joe sr.shared with Joe,and younger sister Casey. I was able to spend some time with Joseph. And heard all about him from my own Daughters they all thought he was? how did they say it?pretty hot. Joseph was a clown,a shoulder to lean on and a hand to help you up. He wore many hats in a very short life. He seemed to brighten up the room he was so full of positive energy. Joe God bless you and your family I really could write so much more. They may not even post this. I love you Joseph. And I love your mother.Your the topic every time I see her. Rest now your fight is done. And now your with our lord Jesuse Christ. How awesome is that?
I miss you Joe. I remember I was so scared when they said that you had died the first time, and I was filled with joy when we found out it wasn't true- and then we got the news again, and I think it hurt worse the second time. We miss you, and you are so loved by everyone you left behind.
I know joseph from south football. Joseph was a good football player at south. I know I will see him again. I think about joseph all the time. When I songs that are about 9-11. I get said knowing joseph was fighting for are freedom. I will miss him but not forget him. When he was on the football team at south high he was like my brother. P.S. I love you brother Joseph 48 min.
