Jason was a great young man and a wonderful son. He made himself known to the neighborhood early on. He must have been in grade school when he lit some sort of little rocket that went off in his face. He was airlifted to a San Diego hospital. He comes from a military family and he and his dad did weekend maneuvers together before he was sent over. Last Monday was the 5th anniversary of his death. He turned 21 overseas. Losing a child is not something his parents will ever get over. His room is still his room. Bill and Gale just put one foot in front of the other. Let's all work towards living the words "let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me."

I don’t even know where to begin. It is now officially 8 years since you left, and I miss you so much. I have cried all day. This 8th anniversary has by far been one of the harder ones. I wish I knew why but maybe it’s because your niece is older now and asks so many more specific questions or it’s because I have never forgotten or been able to heal. I actually never thought I would I guess I just thought it would get a little easier; not harder. I tell her so many stories about you and show her pictures. She always tells me she misses you and loves you. She also says “Its not fair I didn’t get to see Uncle Ja”. I tell her to look at your picture and never forget, and I tell her how great of an uncle you would be. She always says “I know mom” and gives me hugs. I love you so much Ja and I couldn’t miss you anymore. I wish it didn’t hurt so bad…….

Today, I had the honor of playing music with my band mates to raise money for Project New Hope at a Marine League Club in Massachusetts. Four years ago, I received a bracelet with the name of Jason William Moore engraved upon it. Since then I feel that he has inspired me to take a special interest in helping those who have served and are serving to protect freedom in our world.
I'm not sure if he was a musician but I have proudly worn his name and feel that he has spent many hours on stage with me, raising money for those who are in need. Today the name of Lance Cprl. Jason William Moore has been shared with many. We honor his memory and sacrifice. God Bless our Fallen Heros! And God Bless the family that has sacrificed so much for us!

Tonight is the eve of the 15 years since you passed, I left a comment on here 5 years ago, and honestly I still feel the same way. Nothing has changed. I've tried to keep good on my word about Michelle. Although she's an adult and can take care of herself, I try to stay in contact with her and do what I can. Unfortunately I can't say the same about your mom... even after 15 years I still can't really face her, it makes me so sad. I still send her flowers on your anniversary every year, I know that she'd probably rather see me. I really miss you man, I think about you every day. May 19th has become a very meaningful day in my brothers life and I'm sure you already know why. Anyway man I miss those body boarding sessions and all the trouble we got into. I named my son after you. I hope to catch you north of here one of these days, but until then I love you man
