Hello,
We wanted to let your family and friends know that we are sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Fernando B. Hannon US Marine Private 1st Class.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,

I just wanted you to know that you are being thought of on the Memorial Day weekend. You are a true American Hero. You did more at your young age than most of us have ever done. If it wasn't for you and our Military, I can't imagine what this country would be like. Thank you for all you have done.
My grandson was in the Marines. He was over there around the same time as you. I am forever proud of him. He is out now and is doing fine.
HEROES NEVER DIE. THEY LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER.
I really do believe that is true.
with love and respect,

I knew you were different from the begining. To the Hannon Family my deepest sincere condolences. I will never forget your son and his sacrifice. May you rest in the arms of GOD my friend.

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 Fernando, 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.

Father we entrust our brother Fernando to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Fernando in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

I used to go to King J.R high school & two yrs. @ John Marshall High, Ferni was a great friend.He was the only one who had respected me.He was also a great basketball player.When I found out that Ferni had past, I was shocked,it took me a long time to write down some of my feelings without crying.So rest in peace my good freind. I miss you. To Fernando's family God bless & stay strong.

i went to school with fern, from middle school to high school. i'm so sorry it's taken me this long to say something here. i'll never forget the good times we had in class and on the basketball court. we had a lot of great memories. he was a great wonderful, funny person, and my heart goes out to his friends and family. i miss you fern. may you rest in peace.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

I went to middle school and high school with Fern. We used to walk home together all the time and hang out after school at the basketball courts. We also had many classes together. He was such a wonderful friend. We shared so many beautiful moments. He's always in my thoughts. I love him and I miss him so.

There will never be enough ways, to humbly thank these Heroes, for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA-Vietnam 1967...
