You have been on my mind. Reminiscing the good old days have brought back great feelings. Holidays are always so tough. The what ifs.... I miss you dearly and the hurt is still there. Part of me wonders if it will ever go away. I know you're there, always watching over. The Guardian Angel that you are.
Love you always

Hi. My name is Mark Weissinger. I am a former Marine, who is originally from Rochester ( grew up in Charlotte) living in southern California. I have been wearing a memorial bracelet ever since I was graduated boot camp . I Have for the last almost 15 years, been proudly wearing one, of a Marine Captain, Patrick L. Ott, who is listed as MIA, since Viet Nam.
Well, I wanted to represent a Marine from Rochester. I went on www.memorialbracelets.com, and searched. I found Reynolds name, ordered it, and received it today.
I just wanted to drop a note, let you know, i carry his memory around every day, his sacrifice is not forgotten, and couldnt be more appreciated. Semper Fi, and rest in peace Corporal Armand.

But for now you rest on and guard that throne that you have been sent home to do. I will never ever forget our mother and son bond and for that on am grateful to call you my son. You will always hold that special place in my heart. Love you always your mom

Seen a picture of us a few days ago.... I'm missing you more than ever. I wish we could go back to that day. We had so much fun. I wish always cherish those memories.

July 28, 2013

I know I haven't written in a while. It's not that I forget, it just makes me sad, very sad. It's about to be another year, the guilt, the memories, is all there. Some people believe time heals, but that's nonsense because time only makes it harder.

November 11, 2012

Today I went to the ceremony held in Arlington, and I couldn't stop thinking of you. I miss you so much. I can't stop wondering about what life would be like if you were part of my world (in my mind you are). Your memory will always live on in my heart and memory. I seriously wish I could go back in time and save you. I guess it could be my guilt, and is the reason I can't stop dreaming of you. Sometimes, I wish my dreams were full of your smiles and not what they actually are. But, regardless of anything and above all else I do love you.

October 26, 2012

hey you...today i saw leaves falling down as the wind shook them off so i thought of you. I miss you each day, and i so need you in my life and all i ever want to do is hold you or see you smile.

yesterday was bittersweet due to the tragedy of 911 but as well as losing them we also lost a lot of soliders since that 911 n u my son were 1 of them all i can still is today i still hold my head proud for the sacrifice u did to make this family proud of enlisting in something that no one knew would end up like this. the day we put in the ground i stated that i did want u to come home 4 good by not like that but i see god had something else 4 u in mind so 2day u r standing proud in that throne guarding and protecting all those u have also pass on to ur new life in paradise. Son all i can say that i still miss u dearly n still wish u were still here. Never will 4get u miss that beautiful smile always know that my heart will still be shattered in a million pieces but i have faith that i will see u again in paradise. luv u always and 4 ever my thoughts r n will always be with u.

love u always,

You know, I'll never forget the last time I saw you. You were just about done with MCT and I was knee deep in SOI. I ran into you and Reynolds at the Camp Geiger chow hall. We all had chow together for what would be the last time. Sometimes its hard to believe. Seems like only yesterday we were dragging each others behinds out of bed. Now I wish I had someone around to give me a good kick in the rear every now and then. Semper Fi Marine.

Today is that time again, the time when you went to your resting place. I cannot believe 5 years have gone by. It feels like yesterday. I will remember you in your life and not your death. You were a happy little guy growing up especially around your friends. I ran into Trey, your childhood friend and he seemed okay and I know he remembers all of the good memories of you and him. I am so regretful that I was not a better mother to you. Sometimes the guilt and pain overwhelms me, and I can hear you say it's okay mommy Alma. I fight the tears, because once they start I can't stop them. I thank God for allowing me and giving me such a wonderful and amazing son. I miss so and love you so much.

It is Christmas, and i was thinking of you.Part of me is sad because you are not here. I miss you and i love you.

December 21, 2011

another christmas and new year approaching and the one person missing is you. if i were to be asked what gift i want i would have to say u coming home, with the rest of the troops. I have to make the best and fake it, because u have a neice, Priscilla that adores u. I remember when u held her you was scared because she was so tiny. I have to make the best of the holidays for her, that's the way you would have wanted it. We were wathching the news and the troops comin home and she said, I wish uncle reynold would come home, i answered, he is home baby you will always keep him in your heart. I miss u so much around this time and i dread these holidays, i see everyone laughing and given gifts and it hurts so much all I can do is cry, but i know you my son and i could almost hear you say don't cry, don't hurt anymore. I love and miss u so much.

Armand was my rack mate at Parris Island in plt 3097. This is something I never though I would have to write. We spent those three months becoming friends then afterwords we moved on with our careers and our lives. We would always talk about video games and what our lives were like back home. Often we mused about what the first things we were going to do once we got off the island. He could always make me laugh even when the DI's had me feeling lower than dirt. That is a part of my life I'll never forget and Armand was a part of it. I'd give just about anything do it all again. It was today that I happened to be thinking about him so I decided to look him up online only to find this. The last time I saw him was a just before his graduation from MCT when I was in SOI seven years ago this month. My condolences go out to his mothers and family. (If I remember correctly both of you sat next to my parents at graduation.) Armand was more than my friend, he was my brother and nothing will ever change that. You gave all little brother.

someone special took me to a cemetary where his friend's final resting place is...you see, he was also a Marine like you, like me. it was on the afternoon of September 11, and i thought of you..then i was sad because i can't visit you. Distance can be so cruel sometimes. I miss you. I wish i could turn back time. i remeber the last time i saw you, the last time we hung out. It was fun, and i try to remeber you for all of the happy moments i have of you. I still that picture that we took outside your trailer. it's my favorite,and you will alwyas be in my mind and heart because i love you.

September 11, 2011

On this tenth year of September 11, I gratefully and thankfully honor all our of our fallen heroes . Thank you for your sacrifices and bravery. And Sept. 11 was the reason for your fight and the reason we remain safe on our soil. I thank each and every one of you. My deepest sympathy go out to the families that lost their loved ones. They tried to weaken us and instead they strenghtened us. Son losing you has tested my faith and the way I view life. In my deepest sorror I ask God for help I think of you and the thought of you gets me through days and hours. I take life one day at a time sometimes one minute at a time for that is all I have. Yesterday is a bygone and tomorrow is not promised. I will remember you as my son with a with a big heart who gave so selflessly. I love you son.

There's so much I wanted to say but never had the chance to. I miss u so much words can not even begin to express how I'm feeling. They say it's been four years but it doesn't seem like it. Everytime something reminds me of u, I feel as if your away and your phone isn't working because u have sand in it again lol. I wish I could've saw u the last time u were here. But the man above works in mysterious ways. Many things happen for a reason whether we like them or not. I love you. More than you ever would've known. Wish I woulda took the chance. I miss you and love u dearly.

My dear son another Mom's day without you here. I know you would have called me on this day to wish me a happy one. Well it does not seem fair, you not around anymore. I could still remember you and special mother's day flowers and teddy, omg how great that day was. How proud you have made me and continue to make me. I miss those days but most of all I miss you. There is no greater bond than that of a mom and a child. Everyday I wake up and go to bed with you on my mind. How is this possible that you are not here. And my only regret is that I needed to say so much. And those unspoken words are tragic. And if you were here you would say it's okay mommy Alma. And those words are the words that get me through the days,hours, and moments. I love you son.
Proud mom.
Alma Armand
