I was looking up an old friend just to see how life was treating him. Never in my wildest dreams I would have thought this would be what I would find. I new Greg at Fort Hood Tx.around 1993 or 1994. Greg was such a funny and great guy, he would look at you with this corky looking grin on his face and all you could do is laugh. I am so sorry and will pray for his family that he's left behind. I no that a lot of years as past by since I've found out about what happened to Greg, but my heart hurt for the lost that his family and friend have to deal with everyday.

We shared many conversations, you brought photo albums to share of your family, bought me a plant when i had my baby, visited me in the hospital. We visited Fort Sill National Cemetery together, i photographed u, u and joe came to my baby shower. You were such a bright light and i dont really understand, so until then. Always Vicki l. Bush

First I want to say what's up "Little Willie". Sutton it has taking this long for my to write about you again I can remember writing the first time for the memorial service I said to myself I don't want to do that again. Bro I still think about you everyday. It's not easy I still have your last NCO-er that we was working on for the board. I can remember when we first met in 1994 at FT Hood 1-82 FA I ask can you play football all you said was "WHAT".
And I remember our last words "stay up Bro. it want be long till we back home". I still can hear it over the radio that Zombie got hit man tear came then. I will close for now the tears are coming again Love you Bro.
Joanna hello and tell the kids hello.

A year has gone by and I still miss talking to you. Every day I miss hearing your voice. You always put a smile on my face. Although we never met in person our work in Casualty made us great friends. My friends, and yours, at DA Casualty will always remember the day you sang to us from Iraq. And YES! You were on speaker. I miss you terribly and I pray for strength for your family every day. You are always on my mind and will always be in my heart as well as your family. Love and miss you!

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 Greg, but I am remembering
his service. 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 Sutton Family,
I would like to tell you how sorry I am about your loss. I would also like to ask your forgiveness for not writing sooner. So many times i tried to write but the words just wouldn't come out right. I only knew Greg from the time we got together on this MITT assignment. There is so much I want to say about Greg but most of it you already know. Personally, I miss him very much. He was and will always be my friend. We had alot in common but the thing that I will treasure the most is our love for UNC. You family will always be in my prayers as well as my family's prayers. May GOD continue to heal you and keep you in his presence.

It took me a long time to know what I wanted to say. I needed to take a few months and get some time and distance between myself the day Greg died. Greg was the first soldier I lost in combat under my command. He died not two feet away from me. I would trade my life for his in a second. Not a day goes by that I don't think about Greg and see his face and relive that day. Greg was a caring and giving man who lived life with passion. Every day I spend here in Iraq I dedicate to making Greg's sacrifice mean something. My team will leave this country a better place and Greg was an instrumental part of it. Greg will live on in all the people he touched and the good things he left behind.

My heart goes out to you and your whole family, especially in the hardest days ahead. I met Greg in Lawton,Ok. bowling at Ft. Sill, we became great friends right off the bat. He was one of the few guys that didn't give me trouble about being a woman and bowling in the men's leagues, what a wonderful person you were Greg! His laughter and pranks could bring the whole house down rolling, how you are missed by me and so many! You were a great friend to me when I needed it and was always straight up and honest. You always praised your wife and kids and today that means so much, I miss you so much and will hate not getting to bowl with you at Nationals in 2008 at Albuq. Greg, You will always be a Hero to me in so many ways, love you and miss you, Vicki

To the Sutton Family
Thanks for sharing this wonderful friend of many and dedicated family man of ours. His presents will truly be missed. As I reflect on our many conversations, I can say he was a very intelligent man. He help mold me into the person I am not saying I am a bad person but professionally he shared his advice graciously and I look back at all this before making decisions. Greg, Bubbles, as I called him had a heart of gold and would go at any lengths to help a fellow man out. I can vividly remember him giving money to a kid that didn’t have enough at the counter of the convenience store out side of post. Many people would have turned their noses and let it be but not my brother Greg. If their was ever a man deserving of being a hero it would be Greg in my eyes because he gave it all and never asked for anything in return.

This is for my brother in arms. I just wanted to say that he was like a big brother to me. He stood up for me when I needed it and gave me advice even when I didn't want it. But he was always there for me. I just wanted to let his kids know that thier father was the guy that was always willing to give a helping hand and lend an ear when it was needed. Take care Greg and take care Greg's family. He will always be missed in my mind and heart.

I just wanted to send my gratitude to another hero from North Carolina. My name too is Greg Sutton and your son, friend and family member represented the name heroicaly. I am from Kinston, NC and grew up in the area til after attending ECU and now live in Orlando with my family. My brother is in Iraq now with the Marines from Camp Lejune and i just wanted to say thanks for your sacrifice and insuring our freedom. It was a coincidence that i ran across the page but i believe GOD wanted me to see and know about a man that well represented the people and my name sake. God Bless all of his family especially his children.

SFC GREGG SUTTON
ZOMBIE 16
0212 MiTT
SFC Gregg Sutton was a stellar and professional Non Commissioned Officer. His expertise and willingness was spread throughout the entire team. SFC Sutton and I became acquainted during the train-up at FT. Riley KS and very close thereafter. As a team, we all trained and attended classes, slept in close quarters, dined three times a day, and sometimes enjoyed eating hot wings at local sports bars. Once deployed, SFC Sutton frequently brought new ideas for the team whether it involved enhancing the quality of living in our area, improving safe houses in sector, advising locations of fighting positions, and barrier improvement for our Iraqi battalion. SFC Sutton served primarily as the FA Advisor NCO and as the 240B gunner for the Commanders vehicle. Additionally, he assisted me in executing supply and logistical operations whenever the tasks became overwhelming. I can remember on several occasions getting prepared to conduct patrols, raids, detain HVT’s, or simply conducting battlefield circulations when Gregg would ensure various munitions were at the proper levels, radios and other communication devices were loaded accordingly, to doing something simple as cleaning the windows to better identify possible IED’s that would lay or be fixed on side of the street in a neighborhood or on a major route.
Gregg often talked about his wife (Joe) and children particularly his son and daughter seldom referred to as Momma’s and Bubba’s. There are so many memories that can be thought of involving Gregg and I during his time on the transition team. He loved eating twizzlers and watching movies when there were no missions and I will never forget having numerous friendly arguments with him about laughing out aloud and smacking on those twizzlers. Another time comes to mind in reference to taking all of the space in our bed area. Gregg and I slept across from each other, but the area was a little constricted for all of our gear, so we decided to establish a “boundary line” dividing the space in half for his personals and mine. That didn’t work because he often exceeded his limit. Additionally Gregg and I often had serious heart to heart conversations about life, the military, family, and the lord. We chose to talk about issues as these during late night barrier movements when the team would have to sit for hours until particular areas in sector were blocked off from civilian traffic preventing VBIED’s (Vehicle Bourne Improvised Explosive Devices) and other acts of terrorism. With all things considered, SFC Sutton was a wonderful and caring person who placed the welfare of the Iraqi Army and this team before his own. He will always be remembered as an outstanding Non Commissioned Officer whose potential was unlimited. It is clearly our loss but, the lord’s gain. He will never be forgotten.

As I sit here numb and in disbelief all of the memories of not enough time spent with Greg, tears fill my eyes. Greg used to call himself my little brother. We spent a lot of time bowling in Korea. I was very proud of Greg, his then new wife, his promotion to E7, and his drive to succeed in life. Greg was a talker, always up-beat. Greg was a dreamer, always seeing the big picture. I can still hear his voice and see his smile. The tears I’ve shed don’t give me comfort for not knowing someone so meaningful to me has paid the ultimate sacrifice. We last seen each other bowling Nationals at Reno, NV in 2005 we had plans of meeting in 2006, but I was deployed. I’ve since lost my way and lost touch with Greg. Now an email “Please visit the Profile for Sgt. 1st Class Greg L. Sutton” had brought my worst fear into fruition. Joane, I am so sorry! “Lord please forgive me and bless the Suttons”.

Mrs. Joanne and the family,
SFC Sutton, was truly and inspiration to me over the few years that I knew him. We work together in Seoul, Korea. He shared so much of himself through his words that has made me the NCO that I am today. He taught me to treat other's the way that I would want to be treat, yet at the same time stand my ground. His emails and pictures of the family will truly be missed. Remember, that if no one else understands, God does and HE is always there!

As the time has past since the loss of my brother, my right hand, my bowling partner, my fellow instructor and most importantly my best friend. I still feel the pain knowing here is not here. I wait for the calls he use to give me at midnight asking for North Carolina gear. Letting me know how the children are doing and his plans for when he returns. Jo Jo I miss him too and he will forever be a part of me. You will also be in my life as well. Our families enjoyed each other at Ft.Sill and it does not have to end. I am in your corner. I will not ask you to call me if you need me. I am calling you. GOD BLESS YOU.

Friends are family you meet along the way! ...My family met Greg at the bowling alley. We traveled out of town to bowling tournaments. I still remember the day that Lil Greg told us "You guys are fun...I'm rolling with ya'll." And from that day forward that is what he did. Every day we spent with him was full of laughter. He came into our lives as a friend and became a treasured part of our family. Life without him will never be the same. We love and miss you dear friend.

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!!

Dear Sutton Family,
I met Greg in Fort Hood as a private and all I remember is how personable and caring he was. People had no choice but to respect him. I never met you(his family) but judging by the way he carried himself at work, I could conclude he was a great family man. My heart goes out to you and the rest that have been affected by the death of this great man. May God continue to bless us and you will be in our prayers.

To the Sutton Family,
The news of the lost of SFC Sutton has clearly touched my heart. I had the pleasure of being one of Greg’s battery commanders as part of HSB 1-82 FA, 1st CAV Division in Fort Hood, TX. As a young commander I was truly blessed to have so many professional hard working men under my command and Greg was one of my best guys that I could always count on to support and guide the young soldiers
SFC Sutton loved his job; He loved his Country, and most of all He Loved his Family! As I continue to serve here in Iraq I will keep the memory of my friend and the things he taught me very close within…
May God continue to bless and comfort you during this most difficult time, but we can rejoice to know that Greg will help welcome us into the Kingdom of Heaven!

Dear Sutton Family,
Words can not express the deep sorrow I feel at this moment. I learned only moments ago of Greg's passing. Please know that Greg was in my prayers daily for safe return to his beautiful wife and children. We often pray for things and what we receive is so different then what we ask for. Greg is resting safely home with God. He was so proud of his family. He was truly a dedicated military man and was proud to follow in his father's footsteps and serve his country.
I thank you, his family, for the sacrafice made for our country and I thank his family for sharing such a wonderful man with us. Greg had a great sense of humor and a fabulous smile. He will be greatly missed.
Forever grateful for the friendship that we shared....

While we have never met, please know that my daughter and I are getting information about Greg. We will remember him.
Please e-mail me if you want a photo of Greg's grave with the flag that we placed there on July 4th.
We live in nearby Vienna, Virginia and will visit Greg from time to time .
We are sorry for your loss, and owe a great debt to all who serve.

May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Greg you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten. I live close to ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY and I visit there frequently. I promise each time I am at ANC I will visit/honor Greg
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

To the Sutton family,
Greg was like a brother to me and a son my mother never had. My prayers and sympathy go out to you all. Knowing that he volunteered to go overseas shows his character and integrity. We will miss him but we will meet again. I love you and Miss you Gator!!!!

To the family of SFC Greg L. Sutton (our fellow FISTER!!! 13FOX), I'm sadden by the passing of our brother in arms SFC Sutton.
He was a great person and I'm glad that I had the pleasure of working with him when we were stationed at Fort Hood, Texas and at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The last time I talked to SFC Sutton was at work when he was clearing to leave Fort Sill, we talked for a litte while. He was always a great NCO and soldiers could always look up to him or go to him for help.
My prayers are with you and as you try to deal with what has happened. May God bless you and give you all the strengh to move on. God bless always.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I knew Greg personally, we were good friends from Ft Hood, Texas, bowled on the same bowling team and traveled together. Please if there is anything i can do to help you feel free to contact me. May God Bless.

Dear Sutton Family,
I cannot imagine the pain and grief you are now experiencing. Please know that many Americans are praying for you right now. My prayer for you is that you will be filled with God's peace during this storm. That you will be surrounded with friends who will bring you comfort, and that your memories of Greg will grow brighter with time, as the wounds and pain fade some.
America is forever in your debt, as we remain free. Our children and grandchildren will stand upon the foundation of honor that has been laid by so many at such a high cost.
Respectfully, with gratitude,

Words can never say how very sorry I am for your loss. I lost my little brother, Sgt. Justin Wisniewski, in Iraq on May 19th and I know nothing I say will take any of the pain away. Not yet. But I hope that someday you can find some comfort in knowing that we are free because of men and women like Greg and Justin, and we owe everthing we have to them. The bravery of these individuals to risk everything for our way of life is something that few possess, but that every American soldier possesses. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you were not going through this. But unfortunately we just are not meant to be on this earth forever, and I guess some of us get the chance to die heroes and that is what my brother and Gred did. And for that they will NEVER be forgotten.

The price Sgt. 1st Class Greg L. Sutton and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten. Please know how Deeply Sorry I am to learn of the loss of this Brave Young Soldier.
May Greg rest safely now, in the Loving Care of God and may the Grace and Comfort of the Lord be with the Sutton family.
There will Never Be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Heroes for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.

are not worth comparing with the glory
that shall be revealed in us."

May you find Peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Will Not Forget Greg's Sacrifice.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

This soldier not yet known to us but known by his family and friends. I am the mother of another fallen soldier SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III was killed on November 12, 2006 in Samarra Iraq. It's a most heart breaking thing to go through. As only another who's gone through the same thing I offer support for you and your family should you ever want to just talk, vent or share memories of your child. I will ask that God give you the healing power of love and understanding that only He can.
