Today my daughter who is eight was asked to do a grave rubbing at a local cemetary of a soldier in honor of memorial day. Each day we pass this cemetary without knowing who lifes lay underneath the markers we were driving by. My daughter was drawn to jasons gravesite and stood crying wondering how and why people fought in wars and lost lives... I wanted to know more about jason and the internet instantly connected us to jason. Having a face, a memorial beyond the grave rubbing, truly makes one appreciate the sacrifice these young people make for our country and freedom
Every day.. God bless jason and his family and truly this is a memorial day in his honor..

As I look through all these pictures of u I remember that night u left for Iraq. You and I were playing ping pong in the day room of building 626. Shortly after u and my dad and the rest of u guys left and I couldn't wait for u all to get back. The day my dad (u friend and platoon sgt Neil) told me of your passing I didn't know what to do. Your a great man and everyone misses. Something like this shouldn't happen to amazing people like u. One day we'll all be together again and I can't wait for that day

As I sit in Iraq for the second time, I was asked to wright about what makes me strong. As I think about what makes me strong I think of a Soldier, a friend, and someone we played cards with. As I wright I talk about you Jason Lantieri and how you drive me to be a better NCO and Leader for my Paratroopers. I recall a time that we were playing soccer and you were on the side lines kicking the ball with my son. It is the soldiers who selflessly hand over their values without even being able to take credit for what they have given to the United States, the Army, their Families, Friends, and fellow Soldiers. Thank you Jason for giving me freedom, and thank you to the family for your ultimate sacrifice.

In Memory of Jason ~ (Debra Estep)

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 Jason, 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.

I want to send my condolensce to the family and to friends of Jason. Jason was a good friend of mine. I met him at Basic Training and we then went on to AIT and Airborne School together. It is very unfortunate that he is not here anymore. He was a good spirit and a good person to be around. I was blessed to have met him. Like many people have said, he had a great attitude, never judged anyone, and he was very respectful towards others.

My son David Miller was at Fort Benning and Fort Leonardwood with Jason. I had several phone conversations with Jason while the boys were together, and I met him at their graduation from Fort Benning. Jason was a good friend to my son, and helped to make a very difficult time more bearable. I know he will be missed.

Jay was a very good friend, not knowing him as long as some, I met Jay at basic training at fort benning and also trained with him at fort leonard wood, some most memorable days not forgotten. He was a real motivator and had a never quit attitude. His personality was one of a kind, he made the best of every day. He will always be remembered as a friend you can count on. SGT MILLER

Its been a little bit since Jay's passing and he is still in my thoughts. I am thankful for the chance to get to know him, whether it was ridiculousness on the late bus or just cracking comments in the halls, high school wouldn't have been the same without him. His smile will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Jay, you meant so much to so many.

I'll never forget Jay. He was one of my best friends in college and after. He had an amazing personality that is unforgettable and I only wish I knew more people like him. Jay's smile was contagious. I'll never forget our time spent together at WNEC, summers in CT, road trips to Long Island, or visits from Alaska to North Carolina. Whenever you needed him, he was there. Rest in peace Jay. You will be missed everyday.

This all seems so unreal to me. Although Jason and I lost contact after high school he always remained in my thoughts and prayers. He always made me laugh. I'll never forget the time we spent at Deer Lake on the rope swing. I'll never forget the trips to Six Flags and Riverside. This is a terrible loss for the world. Jason was an amazing person and I was so lucky to have spent the years I did with him. I can only hope that now he is in a better place watching over all of us and smiling.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in this sorrowful time. Even though I did not know Jason I feel as if I did. You see, Jason was the roommate and very dear friend of my son Nathan. Jason and Nathan went on what sounded like an awsome trip to Europe over the New Year. I have only seen some of the pictures but I know that they had a blast.
I want to thank you for Jason and everything and everyone that he has touched. I know how Nathan felt about him and how much he will be missed.
May God bless you.

Jay was one of the most charming, caring people I have ever met. I met him my freshman year as we were both members of WNEC Soccer teams. Throughout my four years, I have so many great memories of Jay. Whether it be Jay being the life of the party, spring break in Miami, playing sports or just sharing a laugh. Jay is an unforgettable person who left behind such a legacy. We all love and miss you Jay...

To the family of Jason Lantieri;
My thoughts and prays go out to you and your family. I got to know Jason when he was 14 years of age. I worked with him for about 8 years and watched him grow from a young adolecscent into a positive young man. I learned so much from Jason as he was so resilient despite all that he went through growing up. He was fun loving, caring and always upbeat. He always wanted to explore the world that was his dream. He passed away while being honorable in serving his country. Jason is a success story that will never be forgetten. You will be sorely missed.
My Deepest Sympathy

I went to Western New England College with Jay for 2 years. I lived with sophmore year and still hold those memories close to my heart. He was an amazing person and always knew how to make people smile. He was an awesome person to share great experiences with which I will never forget. Thanks for all the fun times and may you rest in peace.

I was lucky enough to know Jay - I graduated with him from Western New England College in 2004. Jay was in my circle of friends from the very beginning.
Jay was just a great person. It's so hard to describe how amazing he really was and I'm sad I never had the chance to tell him. He always wore the biggest smile on his face and could make a room full of people laugh. He had determination to succeed and never asked anyone for anything.
Losing Jay seems unreal, and it won't be real until we lay him to rest. I always said with pride I had friends serving in Iraq but never fully comprehended the danger they were truly in. My heart goes out to those who have already lost a loved one and to those that still have ones serving.
Jay will never be forgotten and I have realized how many lives he has truly touched, including mine.
RIP Jay.

A Friend
October 14, 2007
I have been reading the MySpace blogs, the articles, and have been trying to come to terms with the fact that this is real. I feel that I need to let people know the uniqueness that Jay was. I spoke to Jay before he was deployed to Iraq; of course taking for granted the fact that I may never speak to him again. As simple as our conversation was, it is etched in my mind.
See, I saw Jay pretty much every day for 4 years of college and even though keeping in touch is often hard to do you, always thought that when you needed a line dropped or a comment to make you smile that well he would always be there...whether it be a year ago or 5 years from now. See the thing with Jay, for me, was that you talked to him once and you truly believed that you made a great friend. He never judged you; he made you feel comfortable. He always made you smile, even when you thought that there was nothing to really smile about. Every time he would walk into the room, and just by being there, he made people simply smile. He had that persona about him...that type of personality where you just wanted to be around him, you were drawn to him. You could be the most crowded of rooms, the busiest of bars...it didn't matter...he never failed to go out of his way to wave, say hello, or just say something that you just wouldn't forget...because quite frankly he was unforgettable.
I don't know what it was about him...I guess that is what made him so unique...he was just Jay. Now I wasn't his best friend or even in his closest circle of friends and there are a lot of details that I left out of this email or else I could go on forever...but his family and his community need to know that Jay was everyone's friend, he was the reason we smiled, and he was...well...simply put...he was Jay. He accomplished more than most ever will, he saw the world like no one else could see it and all in all he did it with that Jay smile. Unfortunately for those that have never met him, there will never be another Jason Lantieri in this world...Fortunately for those that have; he will be making us smile forever.
Always remembering

Sgt. Jason Lantieri & Family:
Know in your heart that you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Rest in peace. You will be missed by everyone’s life you have touched.
To the family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family, friends, and all Americans for the sacrifice of one of your family members for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.
October 13, 2007
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.

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Sergeant Lantieri. As a Vietnam Veteran and the State Chaplain of the Georgia Society, Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and the more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. This precious life, lived and lost in love of America, epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… the family of one of America's best ...!!!

I am writing to offer my condolences to your family over the loss of your HERO Sgt Jason M Lantieri. I also lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a loved one so dear.
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 soldier was a true American Hero and we are all very proud of his service.

Father we entrust our brother Jason to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Jason in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

Please know how Deeply Sorry I am to learn of the loss of Sgt. Jason M. Lantieri. The Price this Brave Young Soldier and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.
May Jason rest safely now, in the Loving Care of God and may God's Healing Grace and Comfort be with the Lantieri family.
There will Never Be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Young Heroes for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam, in 1967.
"I consider that our present sufferings.
are not worth comparing with the glory
that shall be revealed in us."
~ Romans 8:18 ~
May the Peace of God and your precious memories of Jason, remain in your heart always and give you comfort and strength through the difficult days ahead.
You are in my thoughts and my prayers.

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!!
