I don't know this soldiers as I'm just visiting the website. I thank him and his family for his dedication to our county. Thank you for keeping America free and protecting our beliefs. It's because heroes like you my very young daughter will be able to live freely in this wonderful country. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Many your memory never be forgotten. RIP

Hey kid ! I talked to Nick this morning and he asked about where you are in Porterville. He's going to make sure that you get flowers all the time now. And check this ! He's going to come here to visit this summer. Very cool. Can't wait to see him. I've sort of adopted a Marine who was killed about a year and half ago. I'm a bit far from you, kid. So, I guess that I connected with him Memorial Day. I met his parents and asked if I could visit with him and have flowers for him.
Damn, I miss you. I have the photo of you next to your Humvee on the wall in my office. I also have your saber now and it'll be hanging next to you. You know that I'm failing some what these days and I'm never giving up.
It's still me and you, punk.
