Hey Chad! I just realized that todays the day you passed, and I just wanted to say thank you for being such a brave person and protecting our country. I'm so blessed that I had the opportunity to meet and amazing person such as yourself and your family. You are a true American Hero and you will never be forgotten by anyone. You had so much bravery and courage to fight for our country. I remember how funny you were and the jokes you would crack when you took me home from the way to Vegas. Hope your doing good in heaven bro, GOD BLESS

Dear Nancy, my heart goes out to you and your family over the loss of your precious son. I don't know you nor did I know your son, but I am an Army mom as well with a 23 year old son in the 82nd Airborne attached to Special Forces. He has been in for 3 years and has already been to Iraq for 1 year and now just arrived in Afghanistan for 9 months. He has only been there for 2 weeks and he has already survived 2 bombings, but one of his buddies from his unit was not so lucky. I don't know how I am going to get through these next 9 months until he returns back home, but I believe my faith in God will help me through it. I remember driving down Citrus in Covina when I saw your son's banner with the floral wreath, balloons, etc and remembering that my heart dropped to my stomach. I knew he had been taken from you and I had to pull over and remembering I couldn't drive for a few minutes because I had burst into tears, for him and for you. I remember not being able to drive past that banner for about 2 weeks, it was too painful. I saw it decorated for his birthday, and thought about you again. I can't imagine what you must go through each and every day, but know that I pray for him, you, your family and all other military so bravely serving our country. My sons name is on the Sacred Heart military board along with Chads. I stand before it every Sunday and pray for them. I just wanted you to know that I am so proud of your son, as I am my own, and wanted you to know how truly, truly sorry I am for your loss. God bless you and your family Nancy, and may Chad continue to Rest in Peace.
