September 21, 2009
I am a high school football coach in Richmond, Virginia and each week our team chooses a member of the armed services to dedicate our game to. Each week we choose someone who lost their life one year ago on the date of the game. We dedicate our effort for that week to the memory of someone who gave their life so that we can play the game that we all love. This week(9/25/09) Staff Sgt. Ronald Phillips Jr. is our “champion” of the week. The football team at Highland Springs High School wanted Mr. Phillips family and friends to know that we appreciate everything that he stood for and will honor his memory this week, with our effort, attitude, pride, and unselfishness just as he did for us and all Americans. Thank you and God Bless.

I presented SPC Phillips to the Sergeant promotion board while deployed to Kosovo. His M203 grenade launcher slid off of his M16 during the board when he was told to do a functions check. He squinted sheepishly and said, "aww damn!", in a manner specific to his personality.
I send my sympathy to his Mother. Crying mothers are the real casualties of combat.
Honor him by remembering him.

To the parents and family of Ronald Phillips Jr. It is with deep sadness that I write to tell you how sad The loss of your dear son has made me. As a parent it is hard to imagine a time without your child being there. If there is any consolation it is in the memories that you cherish and the knowledge that you raised a boy into a strong man. Oftentimes I've shared this scripture with friends that have lost loved ones to death. It is comforting and I hope you can find peace from God as well. Revealation: 21: 3,4

Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen

Dear family of Staff Sgt. Ronald Phillips Jr, I am so sorry for the loss of your hero. He was a hero in many ways to many people. He was helping to maintain our freedoms and helping to bring freedoms to those that have never known freedom before. I send many packages to contacts listed at AnySoldier.com. Your Ronald, being a volunteer contact for Any Soldier.com, was an angel to many in the field. He cared enough for his unit to help pass out mail to those who maybe did not receive any or as much mail as others. Helping them to know that they were supported, cared for and prayed for by us at home in the USA. What a true hero. Freedom isn’t free.
Thank you Staff Sgt. Ronald Phillips Jr. We miss you greatly.
May God’s Holy Spirit grant your family comfort as they progress through grieving for the loss of their very special hero.

I am so grateful to have someone like your son fight for my freedom and to have someone like you watch over my friends.

To the family and parents of Ronald I want you to know that you are not alone in the grief you are feeling. I too know what you are going through and what you will go through in the coming weeks and months ahead. You will have many questions as to why? You will have many things to get ready or go through and that should be done in time. Sometimes it just can’t be faced and that’s ok, for you will know when the time is right for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve it’s an individual journey that unfortunately we now have to take. I ask that God give the comfort, strength and courage that you are going to need. When and if the time is right for you please contact me. You can cry, vent, or just talk as only another person who has been where you are can really know what you are going through. May God continue to be with you and heal you

To the Phillips family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Ronalds' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.
...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

Ron was one of my "Smith-Jones" kids! Like his dad , he was full of fun and he loved to joke! Like his mom, he had a smile that will always be remembered.
Ron Sr. , you always quote the Bibilical Book of James, "We have not because we ask not". At this time, I am asking God to give your family the strength to get through this most difficult time.
May the peace of God which passes all understanding be with you all.

I was so sorry and shocked to hear about the passing of Ron. Although we did not stay in contact, I always would hear from friends and Mr. Phillips of his doings and well being. I can always remember that Mrs. Phillips(Ron's Mother) had a smile that would always light up any room. I got to know the Phillips family when they had a store on Wrights BLVD behind my house when I was a kid. May God give you strength in your time of bereavement and I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.

Though I did not know your son, I would like to say that I am sorry to hear about his passing. He served in the armed forces to protect our country and that is an honor that is too often forgotten.

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to S/Sgt Ronald Phillips our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Ronald. And to Ronald it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made in combat while serving the U.S. Army and his country. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Ronald, you are a brave Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,409 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Ronald’s family and loved ones.

Ron and Wanda, When you look at our flag, what do you see?
Do you see beyond the stars and stripes? Can you see those who fought for freedom? Those who shared their ideas that helped shape our great nation?
Can you hear the cry of the wounded as brother faces brother?
In lands far away, can you not see them fall as they answer the
call to arms? Oh how their blood stains the ground as they fall all around, while fighting for what they believe. Can you see those who rush in without a second thought when
disaster strikes while screams of pain fill the air? Or how they line up to give what they may just to
help others that they may never know? How someone will give their life so others may yet breathe?
Our flag stands for more then a country you see,
it stands for all the people that have died to make it free.
For those who always give to help those in need, for the ones who will sacrifice their lives so others may be free, it will always stand with pride
for these. I am proud to say it stands for your son and I thank you for having known him and you. Keep your faith in the Lord.

Ron, god bless you soldier and thank you for your service to a grateful nation, forever we will mourn you and those fallen service members both before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was KIA in Iraq while on a routine patrol. My promise to him was that I would never forget him but also those fallen before and after him. When I made that promise to him the day we laid him to his final resting place I did not realize how often I would need to make entries on Legacy and it just breaks my heart knowing that so many other families have and will continue to feel the pain that our family has endured. To the Phillips family please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another we will never forget Ronald!

As a mother of a Marine presently serving in Afghanistan, my heart cries for your family. I know that our God will protect you both during this time of grief. For the love of a parent to the child is undescribable. Knowing you both from Christ Community Church, you are wonderful examples of what God wanted a parent to be....you will remain in our prayers
