20 years ago I was 18 and had recently graduated from Watervliet High School. December 1st 2004 is the day we lost Sgt. David Michael Fisher, while serving our country in Iraq. He was just 21. I was extremely lucky to consider David a friend. He was the all American boy. He was perfect inside and out. He was never afraid of anything. He taught so many of us what strength and endurance is. We learned the hardest lesson the day he sacrificed his life for our freedom. We will never understand why we had to give David back to God so soon, but he lives in our souls eternally. I truly hope to see you again Dave. Bon Jovi has never sounded the same without you here.

David,
Here I am again; 20 years later wishing that you were here. Can't help what to think what would of been. Today your mom has gathered everyone in your 21 years to celebrate your life. Today we look back on our happier memories together. I miss you David and I know one day we will all meet again. Please watch over us and give the strength to carry on today and everyday.
You will always be my hero, until I see you again. Love, Aunt Sue

Just a quick note to let you know we remember David. Many memories of that time a starting to fade and get a bit hazy. But what remains vivid and clear are those moments I can see you doing push ups for your 21st birthday. The moment you threw me the football for a touch down at Ft Hood and of course your professionalism through our training and time together.

Dear David,
Another year without you, 16 years and it still feels like yesterday. A lot has happened in 2020, but one thing remains is that I miss you terrible. This will be our last Christmas in our Colonie house were we had so many memories. I have a message written in this house to honor you, one that will be there forever.
Until we meet again - may you watch over all of us. Love Aunt Sue

September 28, 2020

Dave,
I don't know why I am struggling to find the words. Writing a message to my brother should be easy...
Not a moment goes by that I am not thinking of you. You are constant.
Every time I look at myself in the mirror I wonder if what I see would make you proud. I hope so.
I hope you see that I am trying my best to carry on without you, it's the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Thank God for our sisters, without them I would have no strength, no will to proceed.
Being the big brother is hard, even though you are the perfect example of one. It is hard to replicate.
Life greatest gift was being your little brother, I am eternally grateful for the time we had together. And I hope one day we can pick up right where we left off. I could laugh for hours thinking of all the times we had together, sadly just below that laughter are tears and sadness. I think of all the times we could have had. The laughs, the memories. I would give anything just to be able to meet you at the Civ and shoot around for 10 minutes. Or to watch Green Bay play on Sunday.
Almost 16 years but it feels just like yesterday that we got the news...I still dont understand and I guess I never will.
But I carry on, every step, every breath, a little bit closer to you.
I love and miss you so dam much!!
- Danny

Even though it's been almost 16 years,it feels like yesterday. I watch videos of you and Papa and I can't help but cry and remember all those special moments we shared with you. I only wish for you to be here to make more special moments. I love you David and miss you terribly. Love Aunt Sue.

Today I sat in the auditorium in our old high school and just thought about all of the times we had. Our senior year 2001. Seems like it's was yesterday. We were so young. Full of dreams and wishes. Looking back now I laugh at how ridiculous we were but I also wish you were around. I will never forget you! ❤

David,

Your legacy was on display over the weekend at a wonderful event to support our veterans in your honor. It was so nice to see all of the people that you touched and hear them speak of the impact you made on them. Your Aunt Sue did a fantastic job ensuring you were represented perfectly at this event and I am certain this organization will only grow with her continued support.

You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. Rip SGT. Fisher

This is the hardest time of year David, as soon as September hits up until the dreaded day.....It is so hard without you.....it sounds crazy sometimes but, nothing makes sense and yet everything moves forward.....Thank goodness for Danny and Andrea, Gosh, I hope you can see them and I hope you watch over them and protect them. I imagine you here with us often....especially when we are all watching the Packers and when I watch them laughing togething, I almost hear you with them. Oh, how I pray that one day we will all laugh together.
I love you!

Not a day goes by that you are not thought of. I had a smile on my face at work the other day. A family finally received a VA marker for their loved one who was killed overseas in a helicopter crash(his body never recovered). Now he will be memorialized for that family. Right in time for Veteran's day.
We will be at the parade this year honoring you and all that served.
Continue to give your mom and dad strength. Watch over them.
I love you David, until we meet again.

I don't ever write here but I read often. I wanted to share something. Last night after returning home from your memorial, my 5yr old daughter asked where I was. I tried to explain to her that I went to a church to remember my friend. Her resonse was "oh your best friend who is in heaven, his name is David". I replied yes hunnie. The only thing she knows of you is your name and a tattoo. But the fact that she never forgets shows the lasting impact you have had one our community, your family, and your friends lives. My daughter will learn more of you as she gets older. She will know that you were daddy's best friend and that he misses you very much! God speed my friend, until we meet again.

June 13, 2014

I loved you before I ever met you and felt beauty inside of me.
I had feelings that left me breathless, emotions I never thought could be.
I cherished our time alone, together as we grew.
I already felt the strength of a bond I never knew.
I vowed to you forever before I even choose your name.
I knew then that my life would never be the same.
I learned the joy of motherhood on an early Sunday morn.
I cried as I witnessed your life, the day that you were born.
I created perfection with the help of God above.
I thanked him for the gift of unconditional love.
I watched you grow from innocence and taught you what I knew.
I savored in the moments of everything that you would do.
I laughed when you would laugh and wiped away your tears.
I did my best to comfort you when you were faced with fears.
I would have died for you, without a moment's thought.
I didn't know a world away, a war would be fought.
I was not prepared for this, this I could not foresee.
I never imagined you would be the one to die for me.
I now live a new normal, a phrase the broken hear.
I'll never understand this pain that I must bear.
I pray that someday there will be more but, now there's only hope.
I will embrace the future blindly as I continue to cope.
I‘ll see you in my dreams until the light is there for me.
I will miss you until then but, then forever we will be.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY ANGEL!

June 12, 2014

Happy Birthday in Heaven David

David,

Honoring you and all others that paid the ultimate sacrifice.


For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I'm home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I'm only a civilian
And I don't even know if it's allowed

But 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.

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 folder 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, 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

I salute you

Forever in my heart. Forever my Hero.
Love, Aunt Suzanne

Every so often you come to me in a dream or a song. Last night you were alive and well.

Christmas Day has come and gone....another one without you, we survive with heavy hearts. In the past we have invited homeless veterans to our house for Christmas, this year we did not have any attend, which was good because they all had somewhere to be but, on Christmas Eve...a young Marine who rents the house next door showed up with a gift....we did not know this boy well, but, he sat for hours with us, he had no family here and is an only child.....it was special. I miss you so much and think of you everyday. I look forward to another time and place.

The other day I received two letters in the mail from total strangers, honoring and remembering your anniversary. I'm not sure how that got my address, but I feel blessed knowing that these people took the time to honor you.
Until we meet again.

Dear David,
Nine years ago you were taken from us. Not a day goes by that you are not on our minds. Till this day, I still sign every soldier's legacy. How sad it is that we are still fighting. Of course my wish would be for you to be here. I look at your pictures and I think What if? I have so many memories to keep locked in my heart and then your Mom would always tell me some (when I tell her about Kyle), she would make me laugh.
You will always be my hero David. Until we meet again.

Dear David,
Still to this day I find myself writing in all our fallen soldier's legacy. So many years and so many tears. I find comfort when the family's write me back. I feel like I know them; that somehow we are connected. And yet I know we are.
I wish it would stop and all our troops would come home. I am saddened every time I sign another legacy.
Watch over those new families and protect those that are still serving.
I love you David and miss so much.

She loves you and misses you greatly and I'm honored that she reached out to us in our time of need. I know you were an amazing man. I'm sure your traits run through your family strong. There are no words to express how greatly you and the rest of the military are appreciated. Thank you David.

David,

I never had the honor of knowing you but I can see and feel the dramatic impact you made during your life. It is powerful and your legacy lives on through the love of your family and the tremendous effect you had on everyone you touched. I absolutely never dwell on experiences that I may have miss out on as I am so very blessed but not having the chance to get to know you is something I will always regret.

I certainly cannot leave this thought without thanking you for your ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. You are truly a hero and will never be forgotten.

I wish you were here today
even for just a little while
so I could say Happy Birthday David
and see your beautiful smile.

The only gifts today will be
the gifts you left behind;
The laughter, joy and happiness...
precious memories...the best kind.

Today I'll do my very best
to try and find a happy place...
struggling to hide my heavy heart
and the tears on my face.

I'll sit quietly and look at your picture
thinking of you with love;
hoping you're doing ok
in Heaven up above.

May the angels hold you close and
sing you a happy song...
and I'll be sending wishes to you
today and all year long.

Love always
Aunt Sue
