We will remember you from your brothers and sisters of the Vietnamese American Armed Forces Association.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Long Nguyen:
It has truly been my honor to sign Long's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Long will always be remembered in my home.

Sgt. Long Nguyen

Even thought I don't know you personally, but I thank you for your love for this country. GOD BLESS.

Sgt. Long Nguyen was a great soldier. I served with him for a short time and he is a very calm and thoughtful young man. He listened to what everyone had to say and he gave is responses very well. I still can not believe that Sgt. Nguyen is gone.

To the family of Sgt. Long Nguyen:
Long gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

Your death will not be forgotten. My prayers to your family as your loss was tragic.
You will never be forgotten and I thank you for all that you did.

Dear Long,
If you are the same little boy I knew in elementary school, you remain in my memory as being a sweet child. I will never forget Long Nguyen. God Bless.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Nguyen!

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!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history…they pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

We grieve with you and pray for your family in this time of loss. May the Lord wrap your family in his comfort and may you find peace in the memory of your hero, Long.

Dear Sgt. Long,
I met you and your family for the first time. You had a kind touch to your face, and certainly one handsome man. Unfortunately, I never had to opportunity to meet you before this incident. Over the years, Uyen had retold her experiences with you and how you brought so many good feelings and memories upon her. Reading about all your contributions makes me feel so grateful that there are people like you, the ones that would place their personal lives on hold to serve our country. Thank you Sgt. Long, we will all miss you, and I will pray that all your love ones will heal through this hardship.

Uyen’s friend.

Sgt Nguyen ~
We mourn your loss and send prayers of comfort for your family and friends.
Thank you for your service to our country - we will remember your sacrifice.
Walk with God.

Dear Long,

There are no words to express the deep sadness I feel over your passing. I never met you but know how much you meant to a special friend of mine. By knowing her, I can already tell what a special person you are. Thank you so much for your ultimate sacrifice in the name of peace. I read on your myspace that you wanted to be a hero when you grew up. Trust me, you are.

The world is cruel and unfair, but I believe there will be justice and reward for you in heaven. May God embrace you in his loving arms and bring you peace and end any suffering you have experienced. May he also bless your family and loved ones in their time of need. Xim Chua mang cho gia ddinh Anh su an binh trong thoi gian nay.

Once again, you are a hero to us all. Thank you Sgt Long Nguyen.

Sincerely

Dearest Long,

I'm very greatful to know that there are many wonderful people out there thinking and praying for you.... You have left me for a week now, and I can't find the words to say how much pain and tears my heart pours out for you; how much memories and love you left behind for everyone. But no one is hurt as much as I do because the love I have for you is endless.. you were the only important person in my life, the one that meant the world to me, but now that you have gone away, what's only left is just a shadow of you.. But no matter where you are, I'll always love you forever and there will always be a place for you deep down in my heart, because you are the love of my life.. Long, God has called you up to be with him and I know you will be happy up there and will always be looking down upon us..

Heaven's Call

Heaven called and you were taken
So young to go, to young to know

The call of heaven did not wait
Your time here a short stay
You were called away
To be part of God’s everlasting garden

Borrowed seed from the Master
A small little bud that graced us with your beauty
Now returned upon heaven’s call

A finely chosen rose
Taken before it bloomed
Before your beauty had time to unfold

He is the Gardner and you his prize winning bud
Perhaps He seen a storm that you could not with stand
So he picked you before the wind would fall

The memories forever etched in our hearts
Our little bud now blooms
With the angels up on high

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Sgt. Nguyen. Thank you for your sacrifice.

My deepest and most sincere sympathy to the family of Sgt Nguyen. I will remember him in my daily prayers. I fly my flag in his honor.

Father we entrust our brother Long 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 Long in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

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.

How sorry I am to hear of the loss of Sgt. Long Nguyen. There is no good way to experience the loss of one of our soldiers. I know because my son Benjamin C. Schuster was KIA in Ramadi Iraq on February 25th, 2006. Our sons and family gave more than their share in this conflict, but please know that they are appreciated and honored by others who have given all.

THANK YOU FOR PROTECTING OUR FUTURES.. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

REST IN PEACE DEAR SOLDIER

We are saddened to hear of the loss of another young soldier, a hero. May God embrace and comfort you during this time of great sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

There will Never Be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Heroes for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. KIA~Vietnam, 1967.
