To the family of SPC. Jonathan A. Hughes:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

My thoughts are with you, Jonathan, and your family. I am a student at Dartmouth College and in a dance ensemble performance called "Viscera: Echoes of War" (http://hop.dartmouth.edu/2009-10/100521-dartmouthdance.html) which gives people a chance to remember the ultimate sacrifice our servicepeople made for us. I have dedicated my role in the performance, as a dancer, to you and your family. I hope in this very, very small way it can continue your legacy, which cannot be forgotten. We are working to remind our community in New Hampshire and Vermont through the power of story and theater. Sending you all my best thoughts and prayers--

Five years have passed since this fine young American soldier died, leaving his family, friends and community with a huge sense of loss. I hope that the years since then have brought some peace to your lives, and that the words written on this site show you that Jonathon is not forgotten.

To the family of Adam, I know we were related on our dad's side of the family, maybe 2nd cousins. I think of Adam often even though I never met him. I attended his service in Lebanon as did my sister from Oldham Co. We said to each other, Adam is a TRUE HERO, Thanks for your BRAVERY. Thinking of you and your family often.

It's often the quiet ones we miss most of all. The words of Jonathan's Company Commander say it all and thoughts like these, and others, left on this site mean more than any medal when measuring the decency, honor, sincerity and integrity of a man. Rest well Spc. Hughes. May God bless your wife and child, your family, and the Nation that you served honorably unto death.

Although I did not know Sgt. Hughes. I just want to send my condolences to the family during this time. THANK YOU for defending our country.
August 16, 2007
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!!

Adam was a great man who paid the ultimate sacrifice for his country. Adam loved to hunt, fish, and serve his country, but his most important priority was his wife and son. Although he isn't here for us to see, he will live on in our hearts forever. Adam was a true AMERICAN HERO and will never be forgotten. Love and God Bless You Adam.

Sara and Peyton,
I am very sorry to hear about your fallen hero. My husband, Scott was in 623 in Campbellsville last year and remembers Sgt. Hughes with kindness. Scott came back in active duty army last April and he was called last week by a buddy that told him of Sgt. Hughes. Our prayers are very much with you and your son. Scott was really torn up when he heard. He really had nothing but great things to say about Sgt. Hughes as a soldier and a person. Our hearts and prayers are with you. Peyton will always know his daddy is a hero and we are all so very proud of him. May God be with you and Peyton always.

I did not know Sgt. Jonathan Adam Hughes or his family, but I would like to stand up and salute him now because he paid the ultimate price in order for myself and my family to be free. I do know people that are serving in Iraq right now, and I pray for not only them, but all of our military to come home safe everyday. Please take comfort in knowing that Sgt. Hughes was picked by God for a reason and you will see him again one day.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy on your loss. I never had the privilege of meeting Sgt. Hughes, as a soldier, he was clearly a gifted individual who has made a positive impact on his Country, Community and the many lives he has touched. Life brings tears, smiles, and memories: the tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories live on forever.

I will miss Adam greatly. We grew up together. We spent alot of time together as we grew up, but as we grew up we did talk as much as we should. I regret that every day now. The thought that I can not talk to him now is heartbreaking. Even though we did not talk daily, The thought was there that if I wanted to talk to him I could, but now I cant. I will always miss him, but I can share my memories of him with his Wonderful wife and son. Love you all.

Adam was a wonderful child growing up. A very special person. Even though we drifted apart through the years, I still loved Adam with all my heart. It tears me apart knowing I will never see Adam here again and that he has left a beautiful son and wife behind. Adam, you were a wonderful nephew. And a TRUE HERO you are.You will never be forgotten. You will be deeply missed.
