We are an organization of over 245 groups from all over the country. We make every effort to reach families even when post cards are returned after they have moved.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

July 22, 2009

To Everyone that wasn't able to meet this soldier, he was one of the best. I can remember him always smiling even though it wasn't always the greatest. I remember him telling me everything that he wanted to do in the Army. He wanted to go far in the Army and you could tell his love for the Army was strong. He was a sweet caring person. It's a shame this had to happen to him. He gave his all for his country and that's the way everyone should see it. When I found out my heart dropped. When I usually see stories like this and it doesnt usually hit close to home but I knew this soldier. I served right by his side not too long ago. He was one of my battles that I trusted my life with, who I trained with, who I hung out with...It makes me proud to say I knew him and I served by his side.


HOOAHHHH! You were always ARMY STRONG!

Candice- I'm so sorry for your loss. I could tell he loved you more than anything. You could see it in his eyes.

Griemel's- Your son was one of the best and you should hang your flag out front knowing he was all you could be. I pray for you and I am proud to say I served by his side.

You'll live forever in our hearts!

My deepest condolences on your tremendous loss. My son is in the Navy and while it's not the Army, all military families are in this together and we all share your pain. Without brave and un-selfish men like Spc Jarrett Griemel, I would not have the freedom I enjoy every day. It's my duty now to pay respect to him and thank him and his family for their ultimate sacrifice. Be proud of your Hero, he truly was a remarkable man to give so much for us. God bless you in your time of need and bring you peace.

To the parents and family, I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to hold your hand as He gives comfort to you today and for the rest of your life.

Jarrett! You were an amazing person, always knew how to make those around you smile, you were absolutely an amazing husband to the beautiful Candice. She knows your watching over her even though your being a little sneaky about it haha. You were an awesome friend, always optismistic, like you always said we were the same, half glass full type of people. Nick and I loved being your neighbors in A! No one can replace our neighbors in B! : ) Nick and I love and miss you. You'll forever be in our hearts. It's still so unreal that this could of happen to you! I know Candice is a very strong woman, she's holding up incredibly, I know you would be proud. You will never be forgotten!

RIP Jarrett Pearson Griemel!

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

To the Griemel Family,

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. Jarrett shall never be forgotten.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

Every second you sacrificed
I hold you in my prayers.
So with one hand on my heart and the other in the air;

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you.

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to our Brother-in-Arms Spc. Jarrett Griemel To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jarrett. And to Jarrett it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Jarrett, you are a brave American Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,341 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Jarrett’s family and loved ones.

My heart & soul are with all who knew SPC Griemel. I share very special emotions about the lost of Jarrett. My 20 year old son, SPC Derek Holland was based at PRT Gardez from March of 2008 until June 3, 2008. Derek was killed while on a mission on June 3, 2008. I feel we share a very unique and unwanted bond. Again, my heart and soul is with you.

Final Roll Call

Did you hear the sad news today?
Spc. Jarrett P. Griemel, a brave American Soldier has passed away.
Called by the Supreme Commander over all.
Today he has made his final roll call.

Come Brothers-In-Arms; let us reverently bow and pray
For our valiant comrade, who has fallen this day.
We’ll drape his casket with a banner of beautiful hues,
Those glorious American colors: red, white and blue.

That star spangled banner he gallantly fought to defend,
Unyielding and undaunted, he fought to win.
He fought bravely and he fought his very best.
Now the Supreme Commander grants him, “eternal rest.

With dignity and honor, we’ll commit his body to the ground,
The bugler will sound “Taps” and we’ll fire the volley rounds.
The final military honors we’ll render somberly and ever so sadly;
“Old Glory” we’ll solemnly precisely fold and reverently give to his family.

Each Memorial Day we will recall Jarrett’s name,
And attest that his supreme sacrifice was not in vain;
For this lasting legacy he gave to all generations;
“It’s honorable to respect our flag and to defend our great nation.”

So close ranks fellow warriors, for our ranks are thinning.
We must keep on fighting and keep on winning.
With pride and honor we’ll march and stand tall,
And we’ll proudly - proudly - salute “Old Glory”
‘til we join Jarrett at our final roll call.

Farewell Spc. Jarrett P. Griemel - Be At Ease; Rest In Peace
