To who it may concern, my name is Vanessa and the reason why I am messaging is cause my granddaughter found a necklace with his picture and his information on the back of it. Would like to give it to one of his family member.

Dear Ahlquist Family,
I visited Creede for the first time this summer. I love taking trips to the Colorado mountains to see all the scenery and the mining history. I loved Creede but what stood out the most to me was the memorial in town to a TRUE hero of the human race: Sgt. Clinton Ahlquist. Realizing I could take a trip like this because brave men and women like Clinton make it possible, I photographed his memorial and looked up this site on the 10 year anniversary of God's calling. Words just cannot adequately describe the gratitude all of us have for Sgt. Ahlquist, and for his family & friends as well. I know Clinton and his departed loved ones are with Christ now, and I know you will all be together again one day in God's Kingdom. Please press forward using the promise of the future to sustain & buoy you, and the good memories of the past to enrich you. And never forget there are so many keeping you and Clinton deep in their hearts and prayers.

My sweet baby, who is now one of the bravest, strongest soldiers I know. I patted you urn that we have here in Colorado,with an early Easter morning greeting and a smile at all of our wonderful memories with you at Easter when you were little. It breaks my heart that I can't be in Phoenix to spend sometime at your gravesite, to talk to you, laugh, cry, remember all of our great times, etc. I just hope one of your friend or my friends or a family member went by, just to make sure your place was in good shape. I love you Little Bud. Miss you more and more each day. Semper Fi to the love of my life.

Hey Little Bud, We made it through another Easter without you and guess what it is NOT getting any easier. But we are staying strong for you. I can just imagine your day in Heaven today was spectacular. You know I miss you more and more each day, even though people say it gets easier. I say they are wrong, the way you handle your loss may get easier to deal with but the pain and sorrow never lets up on your heart. So proud of you Bud. Semper Fi my brave soldier.Mom

Well Little Bud, Mom and Dad made it another year without you being physically here. We both see you in so many things around us everyday and it brings some peace to our hearts. Allof the quirky things that happen, funny noises, tv coming off and on, I know that is you just playing with your Mom and letting me know you are doing well. I was just fooling myself thinking that after 4 years it might get easier, but it doesn't but they way I deal with it is better. I have found out over the years how many people love and respect you. You became such an inspiration to so many young Marines, awesome leader, fearless soldier, go to guy, always physically and mentally fit ready to accept any challenge and volunteer for all of them. Hero, Warrior,Faithful, strong, loyal are just a few words that have used to describr you by your fellow Marines. And I could go on and on. I know you were the best and always strived to achieve that and you did. Well, little man, I have to say I love, miss and respect you more and more each day. My heart aches to hold you. And I know you were instrumental in reuniting Mindi and Me. She is so like you in so many ways and is sad that she did not get to meet her baby brother. But we will be together again. I love you Clinter. Mama

Hi Little Bud. Well you would have been 27 on December 1st. As you know the Marine Corp contacted your Dad and I asking permission to have a street named after you to be placed at Camp Pendleton. I believe it will be placed in a family neighborhood near your old barracks. What a special and elite honor. Always to be part of Pendleton as long as the base is there. That's not the only place your name is, it is also on a monument for for fallen heroes of the 2/4 and at the 2/4 headquarters. At headquarters is the Big John Malner Award for being the top Sergeant in the entire Marine Corp 2 years in a row. There are only 2 men that have accomplished that and 1 of them is you. I'm so proud of you. You became a better man than I could have ever wished for. AWESOME Marine, fine young man and you still loved your Momma. Always Momma's boy. I hope you and all of comrades in Heaven have a great Christmas. Come on down sometime and visit me in my dreams. Give hugs and love to Grinch, Grannie Goose, Ninnie and PaPa. Also, Dan Cox, Kastner, Melia, Sgt Mjr Ellis, and so on. Love and miss you more each day. Momma

My dearest Clint, where do I begin? Its so hard writing and trying to find the words for all the things i wanna say and feel. love doesnt define how much you mean to me or how much my heart holds you. Proud doesnt carry all the pride i have in you and your imprint on me and our country. Respect doesnt show how much I admire you and am greatful for you and our amazingly beautiful gifts you given me. I have moments hwere I call little clint and makes me think of you, or when I hold him tight at night I think of your beautiful strong mother and hope to one day have with little clint what you two shared and how much i wish i could change the course of this life and sacrafice something of mine for you and her to have what you need and want. I can not wait to sit with little clint and show him your photo album and stuff we shared and he understand and see his eyes light up with pride to understand he is named after a great great hero, man, son, marine, friend and soul. And I hope that that day will also comfort me as im so torn inside still and the days have yet to get easier, the dreams have yet to get easier the hopes and prayers never get answered and I cant wait until they do and i can see you and give you the biggest hug knocking you to ground like that night you surprised me at b club! I cant wait to be able to tell you how much i love you and how much you mean to me and always did. i wish my strength was stronger for you when you were here, i will always regret letting my fear be apart of us and not giving into the love but Clinton I will always always be your girl. I wear your tatoo proud and honored! I know you will make fun of me for it too. Is it bad that sometimes i wish my life would hurry up so I can see you? I feel guilt for that for my sons, but its sometimes whats in my heart and what i need to wish to make this able to get through and some days are harder than other like this weekend so with that, Happy veterans day Clinton I miss you immensley and love you. I hope my prayers are with you at night! xoxo

Well Bud, we made it through Veteran's Day. My heart breaks everytime I go through one of these ceremonies because I just miss you more and more. But love to attend them because I am so very proud of you and I know we will be together again in Heaven. I meet so many wonderful people who have also lost their children and If I can say or do one thing that will help them, I will do that. I know that's they way you were, even right before you were killed, you were saving the life of one of your squad members. You were always so brave, fearless, determined and responsible, even when you knew you were in harm's way. I love you bud more and more each day and I'm not sure this huge hole I have in my heart will ever heal here on earth. But the moment I see you standing guardung the gates of Heaven, welcoming me home with your arms stretched out, I will be whole again. Love you, Mom

Aunt Annie, 3 of her friends, Susie, Eric, Jackson, Heston, Macy, Lindsey and Brady all came over to honor you for the 4th of July. Wihtout family and friends going down this new road would be impossible for your Dad and I. My heart breaks even more everyday without you. You were the light of our lives. Love you son.

I am so proud of you. but most of all Clint i am so greatful and blessed because of you, not ojly did you give me the love and friendship I never thought exsisted or that I would have..and it will always be the best love of my heart, but you gave me a wonderful women (your mom) to look up to and to confide in. She is such a wonderful gift in my life Clint, and im so greatful you shared her with me..because of you and her I can experience and know the mother I aspire to be and feel and see the care and love of one. she has been so amazing and I know you are so proud of her and your Dad, I promised you Id be there for her and shes been there for me so much more. I still have your number in my phone..my new phone hanging on to the little hopes of maybe and wishing of the day i get to see you again and hear your voice, the dreams of yo arent enough. I feel like im in such a hurry to get to that day as I miss you so much. Ill never stop missing you and loving you, cherishing all the beautiful things you gave and still give to me!! Thank you for visiting Robert too recently its a blessing to be able to share you with him!! You are the great hero and joy in this world, there will never be a comparison to you or your selfless life!! There will always only be one you, only you will be the hero you are!!

Beloved Clint
Today, Memorial Day 2010, I pay homage and tribute to you. A true American Hero. I am truly humbled and inspired by your example. You were an amazing son, soldier, American! It is truly my honor to tend to your final resting place. Your mom is an amazing woman, and the old saying...the apple doesnt fall far from the tree, is certainly true in your case. While visiting you on Saturday, there were multiple families of boy scouts there...delivering American flags to veterans. They brought one over for you and asked who you were because you were totally decorated for Memorial Day. I told them about you and that you were a very special person. I took 2 extra flags home with me. I plan on sending one to Arlington for Joe and another home to Indiana for my dad for Veterans Day.
Its been a blessing to have met your mom and I will always keep my word to tend to you for her. I wish I could do the same for Joe, but he's so far. Maybe some time in the near future I will make it to Arlington to see him.
Please send some hugs and kisses down to your parents, especially mom. I know she misses you a lot. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bring your family peace, comfort and strength. May he continue to shed his light over you and allow those of us, inspired by you, to work good deeds in your name.
God bless you always Clint.
Love, Cynthia

Sergeant Ahlquist, to this day I have not met a better Marine. Thank you for the sacrifice you made for your Marines and for your country. We think of you and the example you set constantly. The unparalleled leadership and mentorship you provided to your Marines kept them safe and allowed them to be successful in that dangerous city. I know that you cared more about them than anything else. This Memorial Day, as on every other day, I will be thinking of how you lived your life. Semper Fi brother.

Hey Little Bud: It is so hard to believe that 27 years ago on Mother's Day, we were so happy and excited knowing that you were coming into our life. In my tummy just waiting until December 1st, 1983, at 8:03 p.m. to make your grand appearance. That was the most glorious day of my life, finally my baby boy was here and you were so gorgeous and such a good baby. happy to be with his Mommy. I knew than that I could never love anything more than I loved you. Bud, I wish I couls roll back time for even a day, so that I could hold you, kiss your checks and let you know you are my life.I don't know why this Mother's Day is so hard for me but it is. It's so hard putting on a happy face and smile, when inside my heart is breaking snd I wonder how long I can keep smiling. Send me a special hug and kiss when I'm fast asleep, but just let me know you're ok. Love and miss you more each day. You truly were my life and reason for living. I'm trying to be strong for you. Mother's of Marines have to have strength. Love you.

Happy Easter, Clint.
Thinking of you, today, Easter Sunday. Please send some love down to your mom. I know she misses you very much. Holidays are meant to be shared with our loved ones...but when our loved ones are so far away. Holidays will never be the same. We try our hardest to just get through the day. I lost my brother in March 2008 and every holiday is a constant reminder of how much I miss him. If there were only a staircase to heaven...we would climb a 1000 steps to see and speak to our loved ones for even just a moment.
Thank you again for your service and dedication to our country. You will never be forgotten. I still wear your bracelet. I went to see the Cubs play the Diamondbacks Friday night. I took you and Joe with me. You will continue to live through all of us.
May God's love, peace and light shine on you...always!

Little Man, I can't believe this is a 3rd year without you for Easter. It will never be the same. I always try to put on a happy face and say I am doing ok, just fine, but you know that I really have broken heart that will never heal and cry every night for you. Bud, Mom is trying to be tougher but it is hard. You were my everything, my world, my reason for living. Now I must continue on to help any Marines and the Gold Star Moms that I can. Funny that I think they need me. You would be proud. I want to make a difference of the time I have left here, until we can be reunited. Love you so much Clinter. As you know, some of your friends have given you the ultimate honor in naming their children after you. Tyler Wayne, Clinton William, Cody Clint and the next one I think will be Tristen Wayne. Have a Blessed and Happy Easter. Mom loves andmisses you more each day.

I cant believe it has been 3 years now,Thats a long time to miss someone!! I am so glad I atleast get to take little clint to see you and sit with you even if it is rainy out that will never stop us! I wish I couldve done more and stayed more, but as you know it is hard right now with my health. I miss you so much, It hasnt changed one bit, its gotten harder in some ways because I have so many things I want to be able to share with you. I miss just hearing your voice and being able to hang out with you, even if you do pick on me the whole time. I am so proud of you and so greatful for the beauty you created and gave. You gave so much that some dont even give 1/4 of int heir life time in the short time you did have. You have blessed so many peoples lives and given so much. I cant wait to see you again and let you know how proud of the beautiful man you were. The 20th with never be an easy day, and will always be devoted to you. You will always be safe in my heart and i know little clint will honor your legacy and be proud to know who he was named after. semper fi my dear.

Hey Little Bud, I couldn't write yestersay, it was just to emotional for me, but I know you understand, your Mom is a softie. You know we love and miss you more each day and can't believe it has been three years. I was snowing like crazy yesterday but as soon as we got to the Veteran's Park to place flowers at your Memorial picture, the clouds cleared,the sun came out, no wind and it was beautiful. A group of our friends joined us to send up lots of love and prayers and 26 balloons. We all had tears in our eyes, it was so beautiful and they rose so high up in the mountains around town. It couldn't have been better.
I know my sweet new friend Cynthia came by yesterday to see you and take care of your gravesite and send prayers to you. She is a wonderful person and I call her a friend but she is more like family now. Uncle Mike, Sarah, Chris and Raegan also came by and Mike said that is had been raining and was clear when he visited. Could you be responsible for the beautiful weather when we are honoring you. God Bless you my love, know Mom and Dad are doing ok, moving through this life we have with faith, knowing we will be united again. Semper Fi, love of my life. Mom

Sending my thoughts and prayers to you in heaven, on your third anniversary. As you know I have kept my word and visit you each and every month. I wanted to make sure everything was nice and tidy for you this week for your anniversary. It was a surprise to see there were still confetti snowflakes, all around you from Christmas. A beautiful reminder of your beloved Colorado. Today was cold, breezy and rained on and off most of the day.
Thank you for your service, dedication and loyalty to our country. You will never be forgotten. I continue to wear the bracelet your mom gave me each and every day. When I look down at it, and read your name, I think back at all the wonderful memories your mother shared with me.
God be with you always. Eternal life is yours. Take care and see you very soon in March. Send some love and hugs down to your mom and dad.

I even left you snow and snowflakes to remind you of your beloved Colorado. My thoughts and prayers are with your parents during this holiday season. I know they love and miss you dearly.
Thank you Clint. For your loyalty, your dedication, and your love of our country. May God bless you always.
Sincerely,

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death; I will fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies: thou anointest
my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life; and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord for ever.

Beloved Clint
We may not have known each other a few hours ago. But we know each other now. I met your beautiful mom, Barbara at a sushi restaurant an hour or so ago. We parked near one another and we both have decals in our rear windows honoring your memory and the memory of my dearest cousin, Army Corporal Joseph Michael Hernandez, KIA 01/09/09 Afghanistan. We shared our stories and shared a hug. She shared beautiful thoughts and memories of you. I told her that it is amazing to read/hear the stories behind our fallen angels. Each and every one of you have a unique story with a need to serve our country. Thank you for your service. Thank you for loyalty and dedication to our country. Your ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten. It was my honor to have met your mother and to have known you were an amazing son and an amazing soldier. She gave me a bracelet with your name on it. I will wear this bracelet in your honor and I will share your story. I look forward to visiting you in the near future.
May God bless you always. Eternal life is yours brother. Rest in peace.

Dear Family,
I am writing you to send my deepest sympathy to you for the loss of Climton. I know that this is a very sensitive time for you so I wanted to send some encouragement your way. At Psalms 46:9 says that "He is making wars to cease to the extremities of the earth. The bow he breaks apartand does cut the spears in pieces; The wagon he burns in the fire." So imagin living in a system where there would be no more wars and no more death everyone living in unity.

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!!
