Richwell A. Doria, 25

what can i say it's been 1 1/2 years since rich has been gone.... we miss him alot..... our daughter is getting so big..... he will all ways be in our hearts and be remembered as hero..... we will never forget you...... we all love you and miss you...... until we meet again..... r.i.p......

You will forever remain in my thoughts as great soldier, a great man, but an even greater human being.

I MISS YOU! YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN MY HERO! I LOVE YOU DEARLY! R.I.P

I may have never known any of these men but that doesn't diminishes the fact that I do feel sad for the families they've left behind. Especially for fellow Filipinos who has,time and again,proven that we are a country of brave and noble men. May the Good Lord bless their souls and may their love ones find comfort in knowing that they have died fighting not just for America but for the whole world. We may be half way around the globe and some may think we don't care,but we do,I do. To all of those who have put their lives on the line,thank you. The world is a much better place because of you. And for the families and friends of these fallen heroes,someone from as far away as the Philippines feels for you. There is a reason for all of these...we may not know it now...but in due time the Lord will reveal the meaning of it all. Just when we thought we had the grandest plan for ourselves,something happens and reveals God's even bigger plans for us.

We never know why someone is taken from us. One thing I know is that god has somebody very special in Rich. I will never forget you Rich you will always be in my thoughts. "Take Arms" Cacti

I miss u so much my friend i still think about that day!!! U will all ways be in my thouhgt. R.I.P. till we meet again. Jose Quintana Cacti

It's going on five years since you've been gone. I'm thankful for the opportunity to have met you, to have partied with you, and to have served with you. The day you died is the day I stopped celebrating Memorial Day. As a twenty seven year old man I finally understand the true meaning of this day. Eventhough I've surpassed you in age Rich, you will forever remain my big brother. Can you see what I've become? Are you proud of me? I'm sure I'll see you again Rich, but hopefully not too soon...I moved from Hawai'i to Texas in 2006 and on October 5th Richwell Doria called to wish me a Happy Birthday. He had a deployment to Iraq looming and still found time in of his busy schedule to call. That's who he was and that's how I'll always remember him.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more"
