didn`know him, but wish him and his family the very, very best. Noticed him, when I saw a tattoo (whoever has it on his back?) and was so extremly moved, that someone expresses his/her grief in such a way. Im sure, that he is as proud of this attachment as the "owner" of the tattoo. Even as I am no fan of tattoos, I would like to get in contact with this person.

I happened to be in Milwaukee this past weekend, and saw the article in the Milwaukee newspaper concerning your son. I was touched to read about him, and to think of the Marines I have known, who have lost their lives, most as young as your son. As the son and brother of Marines, I send you my thoughts and hopes, and wanted to let you know that I appreciate your love for Kevin, and his military service.

”Honor and Remember” - “Project Compassion” We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families of our fallen heroes. War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to the hero’s Mother, Father and/or spouse. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,800 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
This is a gift! We have some wonderful sponsors who help with the costs, and only want you know that we care.
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com . If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Kenna

I had the humbling honor of participating in the Run for Fallen in Tampa on Aug. 23, 2009 in memory of L.Cpl. Kevin T. Preach. As I searched through the Internet and learned more about this sweet, strong young man,it became apparent that there are no words to convey the extent of my family's gratitude for his service and ultimate sacrifice. To his mother, Laurie, I send my deepest appreciation and wish that there was something I could do or say to lighten her grief. Please know he remains in the hearts of even those of us that never knew him in life.

Kevin, I just wanted to say thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation, a nation in mourning for our fallen hero’s. You like so many other soldiers chose to serve our nation when needed most and with your life you protected the very core of what America stands for. My nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward also made that sacrifice on 5/6/2008 when he was killed in action in Iraq. As I mourn for my nephew I mourn for you and so many other brave soldiers and please know that you all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers, we as a nation will never forget you. I stand tall and salute you Kevin and from the bottom of my heart I thank you for the nights we at home could sleep without fear and know that we are safe. To the Preach family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Kevin and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Since the loss of my nephew I have written on every single legacy page of every fallen soldier and included a photo of my nephew. I encourage you to do the same to Aaron's page. I have done this to honor my nephew but to let you know your loved one is not alone and my nephew is with him and they are now in God's gracious hands waiting for us to join them one day. From the bottom of my heart please except my sincere condolences and may the memories of your Hero carry you through each day for he will never be forgotten!

To the Preach family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Kevins' 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.

I didn't know Kevin Preach personally, but I know the people whose lives he deeply touched and how very much he was loved by all.
To quote the Wizard of Oz: “Remember my friend, love is not measured by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.”
My sincerest sympathy goes out to his Mom, his family and friends, his beautiful Brianna, and all those who had the privilege to have known such a fine young man.
Kevin is a true hero.
God Bless.

Kevin,
I think about you everyday. Thank you for the freedom that we enjoy. Thank you for the happiness you brought into Brianna's life. I knew from the first time that I met you that you were different. At your funeral Dan said “He was the guy you’d want your son to grow up to be and your daughter to date”. True words indeed. I miss you but take some comfort knowing that you are now experiencing peace, joy, and love on a level we do not yet know. God bless you.
