I am writing to honor and remember the life of Staff Sgt Sean P Fisher. I was not privileged to have known him, but I am proud of him and the heroism he showed in defending the freedoms of others. My heart goes out to family and friends and my prayers will continue to be spoken for you as time goes forward. Every soldier is the son or daughter to all Americans, and we are grateful to them and their service to our country. Thank you Sean. We remember you and we will join you one day in heaven. Now rest in peace son.

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 Sean, 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.

Im so sorry for the loss of Sean. We were childhood friends, and you lived next door to me. The one thing I remembered about Sean for all these years, were his beautiful eyes, and standing in the driveway on marline street, and punching eachother in the arm. Im so sorry Maria and walter. with 4 kids of my own, I could only imagine the heartache. Just know that Sean is always around you, and listen for the signs, he will let you know when he's there. God Bless.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Staff Sgt Fisher!

This is Meg, the woman who wore the bracelet with Sean's name on it. I feel like I have had my time honoring him and would like to give it to you. I feel like it belongs with you. Feel free to email me.

I purchased a bracelet with Sean's name on it through the military support network. I did not know Sean. He died on my birthday and this will always remind me of what he did over in Iraq. I hope his family knows that even a stranger is carrying his memory.

Sean, I never got to meet you. But I do remember you humoring Melissa when she'd randomly hand you the phone and say, "Hey talk to my best friend from when I was 15." You seem like you were laid back, with a sense of humor; a *real* person who had the unique ability to seek and enjoy all of the experiences that life has to offer and to inspire others along the way. I love that you have touched so many and that you continue to live on in memories, in impact, and in so many hearts.
Thank you for your bravery and for being such an amazing partner to our awesome Melissa.
You will be missed; never forgotten.

Sean was the sweetest man I have ever met in my life. He lived life to the fullest and never let anything get him down. He is my hero, best friend, and soul mate. He did leave a great legacy and will never be forgotten. We made so many wonderful memories together and he still is a part of every decision I make. R.I.P my hero. You will never be forgotten!

To the parents of Sean, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

I am a member of the 'Patriot Guard Riders'.
We were there to escort Sean from the airport to El Cajon on Thursday and on Friday, from El Cajon to Fort Rosecrans. I want to say "Thank You" for allowing us the Privilege to Honor your Hero, Sean.
To the Family & Friends of SSgt. Sean P. Fisher, word's cannot take the pain away that you are going through.......
Treasure the times that he brightened your life and rest assured that Sean is in a better place now. Sean's mission is now complete and he is with his Brother's In Arms now. When I lost my Brother Ron D. Toney in May of 2005, I felt like my world had ended....The pain of loosing a Loved one never goes away. Sean is around you even when you don't think he is. When I am missing my Brother the most, He sends me a 'penny from Heaven'. I have a basket filled with penny's from Heaven from my Brother....
It is a comforting sign that our Loved ones are still around us, letting us know that they are safe now. When you least expect it, you will find a penny on the ground or on a table or just about anywhere. That is Sean, sending his Love & Comforting thoughts to help you get through this. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know. My email address is [email protected]

I remember the day we met and you walked into my office way before you were a crewdog. You showed your high work ethic and progressed quickly. Then you were Todd's first crew chief and he really loved working with you as did I. I pray for your daughter and that she will always know how wonderful her father was and how much you loved her. You'll be greatly missed by so many people.

A Multitude of Thanks, to this Brave Young Soldier, who gave his life for our Country and for Freedom, With so much gratitude for his Courage, and his unselfish Dedication and Service.
Rest In Peace now, Staff Sgt. Sean P. Fisher, in God's Loving Care and may the Peace of God be with the Fisher family.
Those who Make these Sacrifices, So Many and So Young, shall Never Be Forgotten, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.
"I consider that our present sufferings.
are not worth comparing with the glory

~ Romans 8:18 ~
I am sincerely hoping that you feel the thoughts of caring and support that surround you today and in the difficult days ahead, as this Country morns with you, for someone very precious to you, who is a True American Hero to all of us.
I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
August 17, 2007
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!!
