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!!

My family and I would like to send our deepest condolences to you. We are so sorry for your loss. This is a very difficult time for everyone who has enlisted family serving our country and especially those who have lost a loved one. Our nephew CPL Brett Lee Lundstom was serving along side your son in Fallujah. He was killed the same day. We know what you; his family and friends are going through. We are so sorry. Our heart goes out to all of you. We would like to take this opportunity to thank your son for his bravery and courage. As with our own Brett, we will never forget your sons' name, his pictures, or what he stood for as a United States Marine. He is a true hero in our eyes! May God Bless Brett, Kyle, and all our service men and women!

I went to high school with Kyle. He was seriously one of the sweetest guys i met and i will miss him so much. Its hurts me to realize that he is gone cause he died the day before my birthday. When i was in 10th grade I remember, he didnt have a date for prom and he called me up and asked me. I wanted to go so bad but couldnt and now I wish I had gone with him. I regret not being able to go. You never how much someone means to you until they are gone. How much they may have a impact on your life even if you only knew them for a briefe moment. I miss Kyle alot and I wish I could have seen and talked to him more then what I did. My heart dropped when I saw his face on tv and I couldnt stop crying. My heart goes out to his family. Im very trully deeply sorry for your loss. Kyle will never be forgotten by me, his friends at Heritage High or anyone else at that, that give praise to the men that fight for our country.

Tom Gugliuzza-Smith

I graduated a year before Kyle, and I remember him being an outstanding individual in JROTC at Heritage. I am certain that he is an outstanding Marine. I was not able to attend his funeral on the 16th because I was notified on such a short notice. However, I did visit him at the Arlington National Cemetary this past Sunday on the 22nd. I send out my deepest condolences to all of Lance Cpl. Kyle Brown's loved ones. I look forward to serving my Country as Vigilantly as he did. On the brighter side it comforts me to know a Marine as a spirit watching over my shoulder, as it should comfort everyone else that knows him. Kyle will be remembered in my prayers always. Hooooorrraahhh!!!

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!!!!

We now live in England but my wife is American and her daughter, Heather (my step daughter) was friends with Kyle and we had the pleasure of spending two weeks with him when he stayed with us in Brunswick (OH) in July 2005. Kyle helped us move our furniture as we were relocating to England. He was selfless and a proud Marine, being always very curtious. We would never have imagined that our lives would be entwined with his and that he would be taken from us. We think of him and how positive he was towards 'doing his job'. He is a credit to his family and we would like to pass our love and thoughts to those he has left behind. God bless.

To the family of Lance CPL Kyle W. Brown I want to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. We lost a member of our family in November of 2004 and one of the good things that came out of that loss is that my 6 year old knows that he was a hero and will tell anyone who wants to listen that all soldiers are heros and I wanted you to know that Kyle was also a hero! I am very sorry for your loss. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers

My parents are Carol and Rodney's neighbors. I only met Kyle a handful of times. The first time I met him he was still in high school and Carol, Rodney, and Kyle had come to my parents house before they went out to a movie together. The last time I saw him, my husband and I were leaving a movie and I saw the three of them in line to see the movie we had just left - Kyle was on leave visiting family.



Godspeed Kyle. Thank you for your dedication to our country and to keeping America free. My prayers are with your family.

Kyle will always be remebered as a great guy who you could always talk to about anything... He was one of very few people that actually showed that he cared and was always there. I remember my 10th grade year, my boyfriend had broke up with me a couple of days before homecoming and I had no date.... I showed up at that dance pretty bummed that i wasn't gonna have a date and shortly after, Kyle showed up with a corsage for me and we went to the homecoming together... I will always remember that and how much it meant to me.To this day, that is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me, and I love him for it! Kyle will definitely always be remembered and will always be missed. The world has lost a true hero, but he is in a better place and we will all be reunited again one day. His family will be in my prayers and he will always have a special place in my heart.......

Lance Cpl. Kyle W. Brown - HERO...May you rest in peace and rejoice in Heaven with my son. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

To the family: I know firsthand there are no words right now - just know you are not alone - we will forever be united in our grief and loss. I pray for peace for you all and strength to get through this and to the point where someday the memories once again bring a smile rather than only the tears that you have now.

I am so sorry for your loss. I graduated from Heritage with Kyle in 2002. Even though I didn't know Kyle very well, it saddens me to lose a fellow Heritage family member. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God look after you and be with you in this difficult time.

Dear Brown Family,

Even though we have never met I feel as we are a part of a "family". My daughter's fiancee Cpl. John Stalvey was killed in Iraq on Oct. 3, 2005. It is my prayer that God will hold you as close as he has held my family. May you feel comfort and peace during these difficult days.

God Bless,

I remember the night Kyle graduated from high school, how proud he looked but he was even more proud the day he became a marine. He wanted to be a marine because he felt that he could keep our country and the people he loved safe. He gave his life for what he believed in the most, keeping the people he loved and his country free. We will miss Kyle very much. He was very special to my husband and I. He will always be a hero to us. I wish to express my sincere condolances to the Bridges and Brown familys and friends.

I am Kyle's Step dad, married to his mother Theresa. I had the privilage of having Kyle live with us during his younger years, elementary school and Middle school. He moved back to VA to attend high school and be near his Dad, Rodney. Kyle was as a youth spirited and always trying to please others. In school he participated in wrestling and track and from as young as 10 years old talked about either becoming a marine or jet pilot. I am sure Kyle was the best Marine he could be, I will miss him. I wish I could have known him as an adult and as a marine. John 15:13,says; Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. Kyle will never be forgotten.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family of this fallen hero. It was my privilege to serve in ROTC with Kyle for three years. I have never met a gentler soul than his, and will always remember him as my hero. Thank you Kyle for being a great friend, terrific example, and helping maintain freedom.



God bless our marines, soldiers, airmen, and sailors who are presently serving on foreign soils.
