I miss you, brother. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten and our short time serving together has, and will, impact me for the rest of my life.
Your sacrifice weighs on me to this day. I wish I was there for you and I'm thankful for everyone who served next to you til the end. Jobie, if you read this, I cannot give enough thanks to you, brother. I have to give you my apologies as well.
Dom, I just want you to know I've spent my life serving others while thinking of your service to our country. I'm about to finish a career in law enforcement and moving onto a final career in nursing, I give my heart and soul into doing the best for others and the memory of you is behind that.
Our time knowing each other was short but you made a lasting impact on my life. I love you, brother. I miss you. I bet your son is a spitting image of you and I know you're looking over him.
Til next we meet. Rest easy, brother...we have the watch.

Damn man. Its been so long. You saved a sinking career when I met you, and I tried my best to carry on the things you taught me. If there is a place when life's over, i sure hope its like Valhalla, so we can share some drinks and talk of better times.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Sacco Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

To Nick's family...
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there really are no words to express what your feeling or the sadness that comes over when you think of him, even though some time as passed. Nick & I went to school together at Hackett & AHS, & we'd see each other around over the years too. I can remember his LOVE for the NY Mets, Bon Jovi (we'd listen as we walked home from the bus) & your Wed night "Italian" dinners, Mrs. Sacco. :) You raised a fine, respectful, & dedicated young man. May God bless you..(Nick's- mom, dad, dgtr, sister, family, friends,etc)

In Memory of Dominic ~ (Debra Estep)
November 20, 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 Dominic, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. 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 Sacco family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Dominics' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.
...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.

sgt sacco was a great man. a true soldiers soldier. one who always placed his soldiers first. he was always there when anyone needed him. if there were one man i could pick out of the entire company to represent its heart and soul, it would have been him. in his memorial they spoke of his legacy with our company, they called him a cornerstone to the company. though most of us would go so far as to call him the head cornerstone. he was a man that loved his wife and was greatfull to have a son to call his own. most people think of soldiers as tough, able to leap tall buildings with a single bound. if they could have only seen us that night. untill that night i had never seen a larger group of grown men weaping as if they had lost there most loved family member; embracing eachother with hugs that were only meant for family, hugs that contain a love that few men have ever felt for one and other. that night a group of sick girl scouts would have seemed more ferocious. sgt sacco will truly remain in my heart untill the day it decides to stop beating.

Nick
Today is the two year anniversary of your death, and I am having such a hard time with this!!! I get so overwhelmed with every day tasks and I think a lot of is because I haven't grieved in a healthy way. I don't know if there is a healthy way to griev for your soulmate, best friend, and wonderful husband! All I know is it still hurts just as bad as the day I found out. I Love you and miss you so much!!

Hello, to the family and friends of Sgt. Sacco. My name is Sgt. Hope from FT. Riley where I had the pleasure of serving with Nick for about five years. We've spent numerous years deployed together. I concidered Nick a good friend. I just wanted the friends and family to know that he still has friends that think about him. Brandy I'm not sure if you remember me but you may remember me from some of the softball games we played together. I went to see the Sgt. Sacco Softball Complex with my family and I was very proud to say I knew that man. If I would have known about the ceremony I would have been there. Just remember that GOD has a plan and a purpose for your life as he did for Nick.

Hey Dom, I was at work and me and my boss were setting talking when I started telling stories of my military days.

When I told mom and dad, he cried. It just seems like yesturday we were in paintsville,ky at my sisters playing spades. My only regret is that I wasn't ther to watch out for my boy!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!!

Sacco,
I think about you almost everyday in some way, maybe a song I hear or when I drive by a softball field. I actually found this site when I googled your name this morning. I am proud to have known you and shared a tank with you and your memory will live on with the stories that I tell my sons (and their sons if I live to see them). Thank you for everything that you and your family have given to this country.
Brandy,
Please let me know if I can ever do anything for you or your family.

Nick, our son is getting ready to be one! God, he is getting sooooo big! He still looks so much like you! He has your temper, looks, eating habits, smile, friendly attitude, he flirts with all the women! I know you are watching us and still taking care of us, but I still wish every day that you were still here! Our son is going to be such a handfull, but I am sure you know that and are very proud of that! I want you to know that I still love you with ALL my heart and I promise you our son will know what you did for our country! I show him your pictures all the time and I take him to your grave and we talk to you all the time!! Elyssa misses you so much, go figure right! You two fought like cats and dogs when you were home and you teased her any chance you got. She dreams about you all the time and is struggling with the fact that you aren't ever coming home, I still have my denial days too! This has been the most unstable 9 months of my life! I am planning a big birthday party for Anthony and I know you will be there watching over us, (please make sure it doesn't rain please). I love you baby and I miss you soooooooo much!

Dear Brandy,
Dan and I just wanted to let you know that we think of you and Nick often. I can't imagine what you are going through. Reading your an other's messages posted here just make us so sad. But is also inspiring to see how many lives he touched. We talk about him a lot, and my kids refer to anything camouflage with "Uncle Nick Sacco" like Dan's "uncle Nick Sacco hat". It's just so unfair, to have him taken from you. No words can say how sorry we are or how cheated we feel to never see or talk to him again. Please stay in touch. Hope all is well with the kids.
Love, Corina and Dan (Reedy)

To the family of Sgt. Dominic Sacco - I am deeply saddened and very sorry for your loss. I was one of Sgt. Sacco's first company commanders (D Co, 1-13 Armor) from 1997 to 1999. I want you to know that, without any exaggeration, he was a superior soldier, a natural leader and a man of character. He was a true professional – always excelling in all aspects of soldiering. He served this country with honor and courage. It was my honor to have served with him.

Mrs Sacco,
I was very sad to hear the news. I had SGT Sacco as one of my soldiers when I commanded B Co, 1-13 Armor. He was an outstanding soldier, gunner and role model for the young soldiers. He always had a smile and a geat sensor of humor when things were getting tough. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

To Nick's wife:
I knew Nick when I was a kid in Albany, NY. Aaron Child, Nick and I would hang out and play basketball or go to the mall. Nick hung out with Aaron more than me because they went to the same schools, but my fondest memories of Nick was how damn funny he was. He could make anyone laugh and he will be missed. We would sit around Aaron's bedroom and listen to music and he would have us laughing so hard about stuff that seems so silly now. I was saddened to hear of your loss and you have my heartfelt condolences. He was a special guy and will always be represented in my childhood memories.
My warmest wishes and prayers for you and your family this holiday season.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Sacco family. Nick will always be remembered as a hero who will never be forgotten. I have fun memories of him from when we were teenagers. When I found out Nick joined the army I was not surprised. It was something he always talked about. I pray for you all during this horrible loss. Sincerly, Carol Palladino(Colleton)

Nicky,
Even though you were my little brother, you were about a foot taller than me and were always looking out for me and protecting me. You not only protected me, but you protected your fellow soldiers and your country.
When we were younger, we fought like all brothers and sisters, but as we grew older we became very close. You were my only sibling and I still can't believe that you are gone. I am sure that you and Bob are having great time in heaven, and we will all meet again some day. I know that you will still be looking after me, Brandy, Elyssa, Anthony, Mom and Dad from heaven, as you always did while you were here on Earth.
Brandy - If you ever need to talk, I am here, as I know what you are going thru.
I love you Brother!
Love Sis

My heart goes out to the family of Dominic Sacco. I am a mother of a Marine who is now training to get ready to go over to Iraq, so I know this is the families worst nightmare. God bless SGT Sacco for his courage and dedication to the United States to help us remain free and stop terrorism in the world.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Mrs. Sacco,
I just want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know you or your husband, but my husband is currently in Iraq, and we have 2 small children similar to the age of yours. I have been thinking about you since I first heard the news of your husband's passing and just want to express how truly sorry I am. I think you have been so strong and I drove by and saw the wonderful support and display at your husband's service today. I cannot begin to understand the pain you are feeling, and yet I can somewhat relate because of my husband's deployment. If you EVER need anything please feel free to contact me. I will always keep you in my thoughts and again send deep sympathies.

Brandy my dear friend that i was there for 6 years ago. I am here for you now if you wanna talk sometime or even if you need a babysitter. So you can have some time alone or so you can have some time think things through. C ause i know how you were when we were living together in tecumseh. If you want sometime bring your kids over and the kids can play with Kelsie and the others. I know how it hurts really bad to lose someone that you love a whole lot especailly someone that is apart of your lifeand has been around you for a while. Brandy and you the kids will never forget him cause he will always be in your dreams and in your hearts. Also in the pictures that you have together as a family. You never think that they are really gone cause you have a child togher so that bonds you forever. Icouldn't believe it last night when i had seen your dad on tv last night, but then i heard your voice and i had to figure out a way to get ahold of you to see how you was doing. Things will never be the same again. But all you can do now is watch your kids grow and hold them close and don't take life for granted. Spend evey waking minute with them that you can, cause you never know what is going to happen the next day. Cause we can't predict what is going to happen, but i know if we could you wouldn't of let this happen cause it wasn't his time to go yet. you and him took a vow to grow old together and laugh and watch the kids that you have grow up and laugh with them.If you need to send me an e-mail.I hope things get better in time for you at least you have your family to help this yours and his even if they don't live here in topeka they have a phone so that they can call and say hello. I AM SO SORRY FOR DOMINICK. But you do have alot of friends and family to help you through this.

Brandy, I am sorry for your loss. You just came into the DMV a few weeks ago talking about Dominic and how you missed him. I never had the chance to meet him but he must have been a wonderful husband and father. Again, I am truly sorry.

I am so sorry for the loss of Nick. He was a good guy and enjoyed life to the fullest.
When he was home he would always make sure I was taking care of Rino. I would also here Nick and Rino talk about their childhood. I think He was the only other person that loved hats just as much as Rino.
Brandy, I know we never met but if there is ever anything that you need please call on us.
Nick died a hero and he will never be forgotten.
Our prayers are with you and your family.

Nick you were always there for me when I needed you. I wouldn’t have made it through my last year of the Army if it weren’t for you. I have wonderful memories that I can think back and laugh of how crazy we were when we got together. You will be in my heart and remain a ‘brother” to me forever.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I will miss Nick with all my heart.
Growing up, Nick was my best friend and we shared so many wonderful times together. Nick was my brother in my heart and soul. Ever since I learned of Nick's passing, I dream of our past memories playing basketball at school 23,and learning to drive together at 14...
We were always together and I know that our friendship will last forever.
I cannot put it into words how much I loved him and will miss him.
Nick is a TRUE HERO !!!
I would love to share some of these memories with you and your children.
"I love you Nick you will always be my boy."
