December 6, 2013
I had the opportunity to serve our country alongside Sgt Reed. As the holiday season has begun, I thought of holidays past. One that came to mind was the Christmas and New Years spent with the 411th in Taramyha. I will never forget that convoy ride as we left Taji…

My name is Betty Nielsen with Freedom Quilts the founder of this non profit organization. We make it a point to try and make a free quilt for the parent and spouse of our heroes.

Jeff, 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 Jeff 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 Reed family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Jeffrey 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 Reed family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Jeffreys' 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.

To the family of SGT Reed, Thank you for the honor of serving with Jeff. I trained him at Ft Hood, as a Private. He was an outstanding Soldier, and a great example of a Military Policeman. I remember how easy it was to have him in my Patrol Sector. He was always eager to learn, took great pride in his duties, and was a professional at all times. Because I have relocated to Ft Sill, and have been out of the loop, I learned of his passing only days ago. His face is always in my mind. I will never forget is smile, and love for the Army. He was a true Warrior! God Bless you all! And thank you again for raising a hero!

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 despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And 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
