missing you / Scott Potter (friends) Hey Bro Well my youngest son Kaden Scott rolled over for the first time today and while we were being proud parents and calling all the relatives I stopped at your picture and said to my wife, I wish Mike was here to see this and then I stopped and said to myself that you were probly right there with us edging him over. I miss you brother and every day I think of you and your family and how I wish I could have seen you one more time to talk about life and what we had planned. Well brother I guess this is how I feel I can communicate with you - right here - everytime I write to you I feel like I am talking straight to you . I love you brother and I thank God everyday for the time we served and enjoyed together. por vida Scott

American Hero / Misty Day (sister fallen marine Cpl. Rusty Washam )
The Fallen Written by Andrea Senter
They never thought when they left here their families they'd see no more No one dares to think about The high price of such a war.
If you asked them why they did it They'd say because it was right Someone has to stand up And someone has to fight
A world away they defend our cause, as we tuck our kids in bed. Some give all for all of us, And somewhere tears will be shed.
They do not ask for fame or fortune Just that we recognize We are here, free, today, Because the fallen have paid the price.
~THANK YOU MICHAEL~
"One of the Few and the Proud"
~Always Loved...NEVER Forgotten~
I lost my brother Marine Cpl. Rusty Washam February 14, 2006 in Iraq by a suicide bomber he was only 21. People keep saying it will get easier as time goes by its almost been a year since we lost Rusty but it feels like yesterday. I will keep your family in my prayers. May God Bless you and help heal your Broken Hearts from this huge loss.
Stand Tall, Stand Proud... / Trish Everitt (American Citizen ) ...for my dear soldier, you are missed and thanked!
To A Fallen Hero / Lindsey (none) ...for those who man the battle line, the bugle whispers low, and freedom has a taste and price the protected never know...
To those who gave all, you are not forgotten
My heart goes out to you! / Linda Fero What an amazing man! He's a true hero! Wishing you many precious memories to keep him alive in your heart!
I'm sorry. / Marcin Nowak (Guy from Poland ) I do not know what should I say. I just can say: "I'm sorry". I found this page and read the history of His life. That is sad, when U must die for country. That's sad... I'm sorry.
Im so sorry for your loss / Nikki
I am so sorry for your loss, my husband is going to that exact location in March for 8 months and leaving me here with our three children. xoxoxoxox
Thinking of You / Aunt Lori Burke as always. Not a day goes by that we don't. You will forever be missed by everyone that you have touched with your love and kindness. It is wonderful to read all of the messages that people from around the world have written here about you. You are so very special. I love and miss you everyday.
My heart goes out to you all / Linda Means (Military Mom ) I was on the internet looking at my baby grandson's memorial website when I looked in on yours. I just had to give my condolences and to say thank you and that I am so proud of our military! My 18 year old son is just getting started with the Air Force. There has to be a special place in heaven for you!
came accross this by mistake, but it must have been for a reason / Kathy Glover (none) I am a mother of twin boys, age 20 who were so full of energy as children. Corey was always a tight catch to me, where Chris was always willing to try something first and didn't need me as much. One day Corey decided he was going into the Navy. I was devastated to think my son could do this, he was so close to me, and to leave and take the different approach in life. He succeeded. He is on a special response team working with the marines, and just returned from his 2nd duty in Iraq. Corey lost a friend in a terrible accident there, and all I can think of is how sorry I am for all of you mothers to bare that pain. Every night I would e-mail him telling him that I loved him, and my biggest fear was the knock at the door. I would like to add your family to my prayers, for I am very sorry for your loss. Michael looks like a hero, and is a hero. Everybody loves our heros. It is amazing how they touch so many lives. God Bless you and your family, and may you find peace along life's way.
Another Tragic Loss / Me
Yesterday, we received the news about Illeana. It brought back a flood of emotions that I thought maybe I had grown past. It brought me back to those first few days and weeks and brought me to the reality of what Greg and the rest of the family face. I miss you everyday and wonder what our life would be like, I guess that will never change. Devin started basketball and LOVES it. I picture you there cheering him on and coaching him...he's pretty good for being 4..hahaha!! He asked what your name was, besides Daddy, and I told him Mike, he said Michael Jordan? I thought that was the funniest thing and how proud you would be. Please watch over Greg and the rest of the family, I know you will be with us. I love you and miss you!! Always&Forever!!!! Close
Thank you / Ashley Kanarvogel (New Friend of Family )
I wanted to thank you Danielle and Karen for taking the time out to look at my sisters site. I think that just as we can give support to each other even though we are strangers, be secure in knowing your son or husband had a new friend in Heaven. She makes friends with everyone and is a great person. But I wanted to thank you and you are all in my prayers and and im sure more of my family and friends will be visiting his site and saying more prayers for you! Thank you you long distance friend AshleyClose
