The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.
While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more
To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one thing they truly deserve.
The loved one's that they have left behind,
The Gold Star mothers, like your and mine
We honor them proudly, every day
Our American Soldier...Proud and Brave
By Shannon Williams-Austill
I want to thank this soldier for their sacrifice.
And, I wish to extend my deepest regards to the loved ones they have left behind. Their service to our nation, has not gone unnoticed. They are our heroes, who paid the ultimate price for us, and that is something that every American needs to be reminded of and remember everyday.
The freedom we all have, we have because of brave young men and women who made a choice to defend and serve.
Today, let me remember your loved one with you.

Missing you more with each and every passing year...miss the way you would sometimes laugh like a girly girl...miss your qwirky smile and your beautiful eyes that easily transpired to thouse around you...you true love for making people happy...(even at time at your own expense) Alainna called and I was so glad to hear from her, too. Though, I'm still not sure how she's really doing...pray for her. Ease her burdens from her shoulders if she carries any there...help her find peace within her heart and within herself. There are pleanty of us here that are still and will forever be weighed down by the events that led up to the final moments of your life. All the should of, would of, could of's that keep us going in circles searching for that one thing that may be the clue and at last finally answer our unanswered question...WHY? But, I've learned one hard and bitter lesson...contuining to search only leaves me with more questions with no answers. Therefore, I have a choice, accecpt that you are gone for whatever reason or drive myself insane wondering (WHY Jeff, WHY??) I love you and know that you love me too and WOULDN'T want any of us to do that to ourself. I miss you so much little brother. My friend. My dear, dear friend....Until we meet again.

Today, I tried to just be greatful for our service men and women who serve. It is difficult, though. In the wake of the Ft. Hood tragedy, where 12 service members and 1 civilian lost their lives, this was not an easy thing to do. Yesterday, they held a memorial service for the fallen victims. I'll be glad when the day comes that we have no more wars. But, until that day is upon us, I will honor and respect those, who like you, that have bravely steeped forward to defend our nation, and our values. Not one day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you being around. You were my little buddy, you were my friend...I miss my friend! As you watch over us (& I KNOW you do!) help us in our journey to make sense of everything...I love you, Jeffrey and today, on this Veteran's Day...Allow me to pay tribute to you, your service to our country in our time of need, and the legacy of your life with us. 25 years was not nearly long enough for me to have had you, but when I feel sad that your no longer here, I remind myself that I have been blessed for having time with you at all. You live on through your 3 boys; Chance, Brenden, and Josh., through our family, and through our community. Happy Veteran's Day Spc. Jeffrey Stewart Henthorn. Thank you for your sacrifice. Love your sister, Shannon.

Jeff, I've spent time this weekend and today, remembering not only you, but fellow Oklahoma soldiers who lost their lives and paid tribute to their memory by signing each and ever one of their guestbook. Your's is my last entry, and I am emotionally drained. This is just (1) one state, but 86 families are mourning the loss of a very special person...including our family, Jeffrey.
I didn't go to see you yesterday, instead, I put out the flag and watched it waving in the wind. Said a prayer and took some time for myself to have a good cry, like always. I can't express how much I miss you. It hurts that you're not here anymore. Remembering you on this Memorial Day weekend for 2009. 4 years ago, but for me...it was only but yesterday when I seen you for the last time before you wuold leave and not return. I love you little brother. With all my heart
Love Shannon

I couldn't bear to sign it on the day you died, so I waited until the day after. Not one day goes by that I don't think of you at least once. I miss you. Went by to see you yesterday, guess dad put some new flags there for you, grandpa, and the soldier buried next to you. I pray for you and all of us daily. Thinking of you on this somber day. Love you Jeffrey...with all my heart.
Love your sis...Shannon

It's Christmas. 4 years ago today, you left for Iraq again and I stayed at home instead of seeing you off...like I wish I would have now and should have then. I'll never get past that guilt, Jeff. Not one day goes by that I don't wish I would have made different decisions back then. I often wonder if I was the friend to you that you NEEDED. I didn't see it clearly then and wish I would have known during that time the things you kept hidden and I had to learn from others after you were gone. Mother says you cried and said "I don't wanna go mom..." I'm sorry I wasn't there to comfort you, I'm sorry I was too busy to take the drive with mother, daddy, and Chance to see you one last time. Everyday, I live with that regret...but I hope that you forgive me and that one day I can forgive myself. I miss you so very much and I love you more than you'll ever know. Merry Christmas little brother...I wish you were home, too. Love Shannon

Football season is over now for our son. Your birthday is coming up, pretty soon, and after that Feb. 8th will be right around the corner. It will be 4 years that you've been gone, and I can honestly say time has helped, but defintley not healed. everytime i think of you, which is at least a couple times a day, it still stings. Chance and I are moving on but not without you, baby, your in our lives, and a big part of them. Last week I got a letter to be a guest @ chances school, so they could 'honor your memory'. And I did. man, how did this happen? I sometimes wonder if Ill ever find true love again, a love like ours. No, I dont think I will. Thats why we are Jeff and Trish. Thats why God brought us together to be that kind of impact on one another. I miss you. Am I writing to you or everyone that views these entries? You and them. If I can bring any help to anyone by reading these entries, then our love is justified, huh? If there is a woman or a man reading this that by chance still has that one person they loved with EVERY SINGLE FIBER of their being, then maybe their hearts will ache for our love and my loss that they will have to be so very grateful.
To those who read this;
If by Gods grace you have someone that you love like this let me just say this. If I COULD have one last day with Jeff, I would kiss him and hug him and MAKE SURE he knew how very much I was in love with him. This goes for not only spouses, even as I write this I am reminded that I need to make sure those who are still with me know how much I love them, like my mother and son. So, my advice, as a woman who lost her love at 26, and now raising a young boy all by myself, aching everybit of everyday 4 years later for my love and father of my son, DONT TAKE ONE MINUTE FOR GRANTED...PLEASE! 143-Jeff.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family 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, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) 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!!

Well Jeff its been so long since Ive made an entry. However, I know you are with your son and I all the time and that I still cry, still mourn, and like our song says 'Im still in love with you. That will never fade. I compare every man that even takes interest in me, to you... Oh I miss you so much. Each day I think I go into dreammode and dwell in one of the precious memories chance, you, and I share.Today, I drove by that old country road we were caught 'parking ' at,(by a cop!)- when we were 17.I laughed out loud in my car, remembering when he shined his light at us and ended up getting 'mooned by you'. I feel you with me and realize the special things you still do. 143 Baby, for ever.Oh how I love you. Love ur Baby girl...

We know your pain. May 3, 2006 our son Christopher Eckhardt died in Iraq under very similar circumstances. As we too search for answers we honor and celebrate his life everyday and we miss him with every breath.
My husband retired after 22 years in the Air Force on May 1, 2006. We received two signed documents from President Bush in the same week--Congratulations on your retirement and my condolences on the loss of your son.
Please know that you are not alone and our hearts and prayers go out to you all.

The 4th of July has once again come and gone, and yet, I am somberly moved to remember that this was your favorite holiday. Most would expect it to be your birthday or possibly even Christmas, but no, it was the 4th of July. I miss you so much and this year, I guess the reality of your passing has hit me harder than it did last year. So hard in fact that I could not attend any of the festivities of celebration because I was so sick to my stomach over the loss of you. Maybe now, without the burden of having to make sure that mom made it through your death in one piece, I can now begin my long journey through the grieving process that for so long, I had to surpass to insure that mother didn't fall apart. I miss you with all of my heart and not one day passes that I don't wish that I could see your beautiful face with all it's freckles and hear your familiar laughter. Please pray for us...pray for me...,that in the midst of all of the chaos your death has caused in my life, I may find some peace. Loving you always.Shannon.

I served with Jeff in the 1345th Transportation Co. of MidWest City, OK. We went on Operation Haymaker together and to JRTC in Ft. Polk, LA and braved the heat during that training time. When I first heard that Jeff had passed, it was stunning because I had known him, drank beer with him and laughed with him on more than one occassion. I recall his youth, smile and optomism. Although I left the unit in 1998, I always remembered the nice people. Jeff was definately one of those nice people. I hope his family can find a little more peace each day.

hi my name is nate i was deployed with jeff from 2004 to 2005 of course i was shocked like everyone else i know me and jeff weren't the best of friends but as time goes on i realize how important it is to have a friend like him he was always energetic and happy he brightened up the room and i sat right to the right of him in every formation he had, and spoke to him every day i am very sorry to lose a very great and honorable soldier who was a veteran and like me loved family and friends i miss him and think about him often so as i close i would like to say that he is watching and helping all his friends and family through through the rough times and good.

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

Life has gone on, not quite the way I expected. Jeff, you have not and will not be forgotten. the last few days memories of you and our times together have flooded my mind. Maybe its the holidays....without you. Chance says he's been talking to you, I beleive its true, even if only in his heart.We will be having a big Christmas this year. Losing you has made me value time with the family so much more. You will be remembered. I know you can see I have found a new love, after 10 years, God has blessed me, and if you can see this then you can see the special love he and I share. I never thoought I'd love another in this way. However, Jeff, I will never stop loving you-Death couldnt even destroy that. I love you, baby.

Jeff was my first love, the father of my only son, and my dear freind until the day he passed.My son and I miss him so much.It is very hard to even walk into my sons room that is filled with pictures and memories of his daddy. Only Jeff and I knew of our very complex bond and love for each other. Not alot of people know the real Jeff, but those who did were very blessed; Jeff was quite a ladies man, he was fine and funny thats what attracted me to him and Im sure thats what attracted allthe ladies to him. Through this tragedy I have gained an undescribable strength, I hide my tears from our son so that he will not become upset. He had a very close relationship with chance, and loved both his sons with all his heart and gave his life for their freedom and yours as well.It was an honor to even know Jeff, but a pure blessing to be loved by him. I spoke to Jeff last on Jan.26th of 2005 and we were planning to go on a trip when he got leave in June to a resort in Eufaula; so that is where my son and I will remain until the day we meet again..... I miss him so much. The last words Jeff spoke to me were "take care of chance, I love yall and will see you in June." Through all this tragedy I have gained a new strenght to keep going for our son and also gained a new best freind, which is oddly the mother of his other son,Brenden. Her name is sandra and we have fought over Jeff so many times,but we both now realize he left us with a gift, apart of him, our sons. For this Jeff i will honor you by raising our son to aquire all the great qualities you had.

I was saddened to find out about Jeff’s passing. I knew him when he and Trisha first started dating. He was such a great person and never let you feel bad. We had so much fun then…just enjoying our teenage years. Although I only knew him a short period of time, he still made a lasting effect on me. Every time I see Chance, I tell Trisha how much he looks like Jeff. Now Jeff will forever live through his children. Though I don’t know all of you, I will always say a prayer for our healing.
where i'll always want to be SugarButt i miss and love you deeply

Henthorn was a really cool fellow, Godbless him, his family and friends, and especially his loved ones! I knew Jeff, I was one of the Team Leaders in his Platoon,(2003-2004),Iraq OIF. I was devastated when I heard the news. All I thought of was his funny little grin. He had a kind heart and crazy personality. I know he's watching over his pals and fiance.
There's a place in paradise for such special people...it's those who we must honor and pray to. I'd like to say, "You will always be remembered Jeff...and the other HP's will always do the same! To Alainna, Chris, Derek and Amanda...
"Godbless each and everyone of you"...Take care, and 'yes', Jeff is our Gaurdian now. I will never forget his face....never!

i knew jeff through my husband Derek. Jeff was like my big brother. He was always there for you when you needed him. Derek and I would always call him our REDHEADED STEPCHILD. He always made you laugh. Everytime we were all together Derek,Jeff, and Chris would always be goofing off. They were the HP'S. Those who know them 3 will know what that is. When we went to Ok with Jeff and Alainna one weekend it was so much fun. His mom,sister Jayme,and Todd were so nice to let us stay at their house. Jeff would always say when we had our get togethers you have to bring your video camera so we can record everything. I have so many tapes of them being so goofy. One of the things Jeff said I had to send to him and Derek was homemade m&m cookies,chocolate covered pretzles,and record March Madness. I remembered the last day they were here in the states he gave me a hug and told me not to worry about anything because he was going to watch over Derek. Now he's watching over his best friend. I wish he was still here. He had a very BIG heart and loved his family very much. JEFF WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU OUR REDHEADED STEPCHILD!!! we will see you when the time is right. PLEASE WATCH OVER EVERYONE!

I met Jeff a couple months before they all left for iraq last December. He was one of my boyfriend's best friends, but they were more like family. We, usually with Derek and Amanda, spent many weekends with Jeff and Alainna and I was welcomed as family. I'll never forget the memories we all made those weekends. When they left I asked Jeff to watch over Chris, for me and he said he promised that he would, and that they'd all be coming home. Now I know he's really watching over them all. Rest in peace Jeff, thanks for all the memories, and thanks for keeping them safe over there... You will be dearly missed by everyone who knew you.

I went to school with Jeff and was heartbroken to hear about his passing on the news. I got out the very same picture they had displayed to show to my family. Jeff was a great friend in high school and I have so many wonderful memories of him. He was someone who could make you laugh even when you were trying to be mad. I will cherish those memories forever. I hope his boys got the chance to know thier daddy as the wonderful guy he was. They should be proud as he was of them. God bless you Jeff. We will meet again someday!

Jeff was my little brother, I was 10 yrs older than him. I was always lecturing him about what he should do with his life and things to prepare for . As most of us do we seem to think we know whats best for ourselves and we don't take the advise of others very well. Jeff was like having another child to worry about. I felt like a second mother to him. My mother would always call me when Jeff would call her about his troubles and she would ask me what she should do. I kept telling her he's a big boy and he will be fine. I was in total shock to hear of his passing and I will miss him dearly. Jeff also had a passion for fishing and him and my husband Todd would go all the time when they had the chance. I will always think of you in my prayers. Rest upon that mountain and I'll see you again when it's my time little brother. Hugs and kisses.

I will always remember my cousin as a fun, adventurous guy that loved the LADIES and was always up for a good time! You left me with memories that I will never forget... We had some good times, some the best of my life...I know we went our seperate ways in the last year or so , but I always new we would have gotten together for one more round down at Laci's
Its sad to think that we will never have the chance...,I catch myself being reminded of you by all the little things that run through my mind. It just doesnt seem right that your gone,
P.S. Next time i go to an O U game I'll pick you up a ticket..

Jeffrey was my little brother. I was the one who found out first, and then had to break the horrible news to my parents. Jeffrey was always kidding around and he loved his cars, stereos, and most of all trying to "Look Cool". If you knew my brother, you probably have a story or two to tell. For those of you who knew him, keep in touch with our family by my email. Thank you for all the love and support. He will be missed by many, but he has left us all with wonderful memories. "Jeffrey, I miss you so much, but I want you to know that I am so proud of you."

I didnt know Jeff like some of these people but i remembered who he was as soon as someone mentioned him to me, I knew Jeff for just a short period of time but the time i did know him he was funny and one of the sweetest guys i know, we hung out a couple times with some mutual friends and I'll never forget the funtimes we had. My prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends.

I served with Jeff in the 1345TH Transportation in Midwest City. Jeff was A good soldier you could always count on him to lend a hand to a fellow soldier. The thing that stands out most was his sense of humor, Jeff never failed to make you laugh. My Thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time of grief. And as always remember these words:
"Upon a peace kept by human creed, Know that one soldier has not died in vain."

My prayers are with Jeff's family at this difficult time. I did not know Jeff personally but my twin sister and I attended high school with him. I'm grateful he chose to protect his country and help those less fortunate, if only we had more people willing to make the same decision.
