”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,850 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have some wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and only want you know that we care.
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Kenna

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Baddick,
I would like to extend my prayers to you and your family. Andrew and I were stationed together at Ft. Bragg. We were next door neighbors in the barracks. I was deployed with Andrew to Afghanistan in 2002. He was a great soldier and will be missed. Andrew was a great human being, who was always helping others. Andrew and I will always be brothers. The only difference now, is that he is jumping from a higher altitude. Airborne!

In Memory of Andrew ~ (Debra Estep)
September 29, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Andrew, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

To the parents of Andrew Baddick; I served with your son and I can remember when he had an airborne tattoo before he ever went to airborne school. Your son inspired me to creat a non-profit that helps soldiers; we actually opened a charity resale center that benifits soldiers. When you walk in you see boots and rifle holding up a helmet in memory of your son. Iwas and still is a great man.

Mr. Baddick -
This morning I received the music CD you made as a tribute to your son, Andrew. I'm listening to it on my computer as I type this (he had good taste in music...#12). I looked Andrew up on the web-site and found that he was a hero, not once, but many times over. How proud you must be. I would have been very proud to have had such a fine Soldier in my company. Some of my Soldiers work in the nearby Abu Ghraib area where your son so selflessly gave his life for his brother, the ultimate sacrifice. Please know that we all feel the pain and loss when one of our brothers or sisters falls. Andrew will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service and for raising such a fine American and a fine Soldier. God Bless you and your family.

Dear relatives of Andrew, my son SSGT Russell J. Verdugo is buried in Arlington National Cemetery along with your hero. I took some photos last Memorial Day Week-end 2007 and have a photo of your Andrew’s grave site and marker. If you would like a copy emailed to you, please let me know. I know we are so very proud of our fallen heroes, but we miss them so.

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

I was part of the team who was sent to recover Sgt. Baddick that night. I know I speak for my entire team when I say how sorry we are for his loss, and what an incredible act of bravery he made for his fellow soldiers. Even though I never met him, I will always remeber his act of courage. He made me very proud to be a former member of the 82nd Airborne.

I met Andrew while at jump school. We made quick friends and hung out while at Airborne School. The last time I saw him was when I dropped off at the airport, after training was complete, so he could fly home to see his family. I was deeply saddened to read in the paper later that year of his loss. I remembered the last day I saw him, he was very excited to be a paratrooper like his father. I am proud to have known Andrew, he is a hero. God Bless Andrew and the Baddick
family.
