Angus en-us https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/david-j-hart/#c116913 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/david-j-hart/#c116913 I had the honor and privilege of being one of David's youth leader. We did missions together. We played music together and ended up on a ditch when we both feel asleep- I was driving- We had to pull out of our backpacking leadership training course due to heavy all night rain. He was calm and cool as if nothing happened. I miss you bro.

It was there that I realized this war is worth nothing, and certainly not the lives of our blood and treasure...the great men like David Hart. I watched in agony as his father spoke about American values for which his son died. My 11-year old son listened quietly next to me. I wanted to scream aloud in the church: "died for what?...for what?!!..so that people who hate us can have indoor plumbing someday?. or so that some rich man's hedge fund will deliver a healthy profit?. I supported this war---until this day. Corporate America will not get my son's life. In fact, America itself, in this current politically correct, self-flagellating form is no longer worth fighting for in my opinion. For me, this was a sad,sad day on many levels.

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!

SSG Van and I were in the back and he,(SSG Van), couldnt stop complaining about the seats in the new vehicles. David then came over the headset. "You know, it's funny...I was just reading an article in Mens Health about this. They did a study about that, and as it turns out...whenever something keeps going wrong...,the best thing you can do is just keep complaining about it." We couldn't stop laughing. I'll allways remember Davids' perfect timing and choice of words. I'm honored to have cared for a true hero. My deepest sympathies to the family...

Although we were so different from each, somehow we had a close bond where we could talk to each other for hours. There were a few times when he would spend the night at my house and we would stay up til the wee hours of the morning having "girl talk". Now understand that "girl talk" was not about girls in general, we named it that because we just talked as much as girls do. I love you David and I'll see you in Heaven Mon, 08 Sep 2008 09:37:06 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/david-j-hart/#c194 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/david-j-hart/#c194 It is coming up on 5 months now, since my cousin David has been gone. It is so nice to see people still sharing their memories of David. There are so many, and I enjoy checking in frequently to see what others have to say, and to remember my own memories of David. Thank You to all of you who continue to keep David alive in your hearts.

I distinctly remember his positive attitude, and I could tell he was a strong Christian man from his demeanor. I always appreciated his positive outlook which came in handy once we deployed and the operations tempo was very high. I always looked to him in tough situations as he quickly showed his capacity for greater levels of leadership. Most notable was his sense of humor. He constantly was joking and giving me a hard time which always lightened the mood. He truly was one of my best soldiers.

He has the soul of a warrior and defended our nation and our freedom with pride, honor, and integrity. We will never forget the times we spent with David & Nicole. We love you guys!
