Emily, a remembrance flag made and placed by Run For the Fallen for your father, flew in Charlottesville for almost two years, beginning in August 2008. There are pictures included on this site. One winter day, I did not see it on the post at the market, so I went back and looked for it. The stick had broken from being in the weather, the main part, flag & pictures, had blown into the bushes. I took it home to repair & it has been I my kitchen, ever since--so I think of your dad, & all of you, every time I look at it. If you ever want it, it is yours.

Run For the Fallen placed a flag for Corry on August 16, 2008, and it is still there. I see it, every day on my way to work & back. Rickey Bell's would have been placed close by, a mile apart, all of them.

I did not know Corry, but I knew Rickey Bell, who died alongside Corry three years ago. I would just like to say to Corry's family that you do not grieve alone- as I remember Rickey, I also remember the other men who lost their lives in the same crash, and I send you my deepest condolences. You will be in my thoughts and prayers this weekend. God Bless.

I was stationed with CPT Tyler in Colorado Springs, CO with Stetson Troop, 3rd ACR. We spent a month together living in the back of a Blackhawk and became good friends. I was serving in Iraq of the accident. His loss affects me everyday that I go fly.
He is truly missed!
When I started this entry I had a lot to say, but now words escape me. I really don't know what to say.

I served with Corry in 4th Squadron, 3rd ACR as a platoon leader in 2001-2002. I admire how he was always so calm and collected, something often hard to do as a 1st Lieutenant. He constantly placed the welfare of his crew chiefs and warrants first. Corry lived up to our class motto, "With Duty in Mind", and I am grateful for all the sacrifices that he, Kathy and their children made in serving America. Thank you and well done.

I saw Corry's flag again, yesterday evening, placed on August 16th of this summer by Jon Bellona, creator & director of "Run For the Fallen", and read about him. Saw the picture with his wife & kids, a handsome family!
Corry's mile was mile 20 that day, #3724 overall. Many Charlottesville runners met at the "Belair Market at Ivy", and ran the 5 miles through the city of Charlottesville, beginning with his mile, with the RFTF team. Jim & Marilyn Collins came from Michigan for their son's mile, and took a picture of Corry's--this is right before the runners picked up about 30-40 more people waiting near University Hall; http://web.me.com/collins60/Site/Pictures.html
It is titled "Along the Way".
I was honored to help with Corry's mile, and glad to see that his flag still waves at the Belair Market in my town.
He will not be forgotten, not by me.

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 Corry, 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.

When my son, Tyler Seideman was killed in the helicopter crash with Corry Tyler and the other 12 men I decided to plant trees in their honor. First let me say to the Tyler family how sorry I am for their loss. I am so proud of wonderful men such as Corry who were willing to make the sacrifices they did so that we could continue our freedoms and others could have freedom they have never known. I am proud of my son, Tyler and all those who have fallen. Pride is not enough for me so I have chosen to plant a memorial tree in honor of those men who died with my son. Corry's Purple Ash is planted on the banks of the Middle Fork of the White River on the St. Paul Public School grounds in St. Paul, Arkansas. I chose St. Paul for Corry Paul Tyler. Each man has a tree planted at an Arkansas place name that shares their name. I hope this gives the family some very small measure of comfort knowing that something living is honoring their dead.

Kathy,
I was reading Corry's Guest Book and I was touched. I cry for you, but I am also thankful that God us your source of strength. I have learned never to question God since he knows the future and is the "giver and taker" of life!
I thank God for the years that he allowed Corry to share with you. I am trusting God to comfort and protect you, Emily, Jacob, and Lucas.
I will FOREVER "Salute" Capt. Corry P. Tyler!
Yours in Christ,
florence

My deepest sympathies to Mrs. Tyler. I attended flight school with Corry and I knew his friend Kelly Anderson since West Point. My church, located in Buffalo, NY, has decided to dedicate this year's Veteran's Day service to Corry. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide an address to which I can send Mrs. Tyler the mass card for that day's service. Thank you. Don Herzog

I am Awed by this man I did not know. I grew up with Corry's father, and had read these pages day after day since his death. He is revered and admired by obviously many more people than he knew. It is a sincere and emotional tribute that makes me glad to say that I am an American, and I had Corry Tyler fighting for my freedom.I will never forget the sacrifice he, his family, his wife and his children have made.

Earlier this week, I had the privilege of attending the Memorial Service for Capt. Corry Tyler. To encapsulate my experience, I have never been so impressed by an individual so young as I was by what I heard and saw of Capt. Tyler. First there were several hundred people and as I listened to the various people recalled a moment of significance with Corry the prevailing thread was of a man who cared for others, was respected and admired by his peers, his seniors and youth. These accounts were not of recent events but spanned his entire life. Story after story revealed the character of a man who was of strong moral values, a man of faith, a leader from his youth and highly respected. Corry Tyler was a hero even before he entered the military. What a legacy this young man has left …. As a man more than twice his age I can never hope to leave a memory and imprint on so many and so impressive as Capt. Corry Tyler. He had such a positive impact on his family, friends and community one would have though we were celebrating the life of one very much older.
As I watched the opening video of the Honor Guard meeting the plane that returned him to the states, the emotions swelled so deeply in my heart that I thought I would have to exit the auditorium. However, with each speaker’s iteration of the character of this fine solider, husband, father, son and friend I came to know a man I deeply admired and respected and the emotions overflowed. Having come to know Capt. Tyler I know how very great the despair of his family and friends and how they must suffer.
This young man gave his life for his family and friends that they may live free and he did so selflessly. I will never, never forget Capt. Corry Tyler and his sacrifice ‘no greater than any man can give’. To his mother and his father I thank you for the example and instruction given Corry that would create such an exemplary man.
I salute you Capt Tyler, and I morn for you, the family and friends. May God bless you and ease your pain.

My sympathy and deepest condolences to Jennifer as well as the rest of Corry.s family.
I met Corry when he was about 4 years old. We both lived in the apartments in Woodbine. He would come over to see what was for dinner at our apartment. He would then decide wether to eat with us or at home.
He also brought all the neighbor hood kids to share in the cookies we bought for him.
Corry was always well behaved and very respectfull as a small child. It is not hard to see that he grew up to be caring and unselfish. He will be missed by all who knew him.
MAY HE REST IN PEACE !
God Bless you all!

I am writing to express my condolences to the Tyler family. My name is Adrienne and I graduated from Camden with Corry in '95. I was in the same AP English class he had with "Doc". Late this afternoon when I finally got a chance to read the newspaper I saw the picture of Mia, Jeffrey & Corry, and when I read the words in bold print, I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach. Corry and I weren't best buds, but Corry was friendly to everybody. I enjoyed getting to know him better that last year of highschool. He was very witty--a dry sort of sense of humor. Sometimes he and Doc would go at it, and I think Corry sometimes just enjoyed getting her riled up, and honestly I think Doc played right into it, too. Corry impressed us all with his intelligence; he always wanted to do his very best. You could tell he would get very frustrated if Doc hadn't scored him as high as he had wanted to get on a test or a paper, but instead of ever letting that discourage him, it just fueled his ambition to please her more perfectly the next time. I suppose it was that sort of work ethic that placed him so high in our class. Inspite of the playful banter that he and Doc often had, he was always very respectful towards her--a good old southern boy who always said yes ma'am or no ma'am. Well, I'm just rambling, but I just have sweet memories of him. I believe that if I remember correctly he and his date were in the same big group of folks going to the senior prom that my date(now husband) and I were in. We ate at a place on St. Simons, and it was a fun evening. Like I said, I'm just going on and on. I think mostly because I'm still in shock, and I wish that I could say something to lessen your pain, because I'm so grateful to him for his willingness to serve on our behalf. What a great guy he was when I knew him in highschool, and what a great man he obviously grew to be. After I read the article, I paused and said a prayer for those Corry has left behind. Though your heart may be failing, may the Lord be your strength and your portion forever. (Psalm 73: 26) Oh, Jesus, undergird Corry's loved ones with your supernatural strength, surround them with a blanket of love, and engulf them with your mercy. In Christ's Holy Name, Amen.

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.

I want to express my sorrow for the loss of your husband and son. My daugther-in-law would always forward the emails Capt. Tyler sent to the FRG group at Fort Lewis. I was always impressed with his honesty and caring approach in his updates home. It was obvious that he cared about his soldiers and about the families left behind.
My son Matthew was the Crew Chief on the flight and I hope we find peace and a purpose for their short lives.

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.

I am writing to offer my condolences to you and your family over the loss of your son Capt Corry P Tyler. I lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a child.
When things settle down, I recommend that you contact a man named Michael Reagan @
www.michaelgreaganartist.com
He will draw one portrait of the fallen soldier. He does this for free and will draw any picture of your choosing. He has drawn presidents and other celebrities. My husband and I got one and it has helped me with the healing process. Michael is a truly gifted artist that captures the very essence of the person he draws. I look at my picture everyday and it gives me a connection that I cannot explain.
I pray you will be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength in this time.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
GOD Bless you and your family. Your son was a true American Hero and we are all very proud of his service.

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!!

There is so much thanks to be given, to these young heroes, for their Courage, Dedication and Service.
May Corry rest safely now, in God's Care and may God's Loving Grace Bless the Tyler family.
I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.

May the Peace of God and your treasured memories of Corry, remain in your heart always.
