To the family and friends of Sgt. Timothy P. Martin:
It has truly been my honor to sign Timothy'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 Timothy will always be remembered in my home.

I truly miss the fact I can't call you and talk about the cool things we enjoyed. To the first person I met being a U.S. Army soldier, I miss you and love you. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice you made. I promise you, I will never forget one of the finest men I ever had the pleasure to meet.

Tim,

God Bless you for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten! Bull 6

God bless you Timothy, Tyler and a few of your battle buddies will be thinking of you tonight. God bless

On this Memorial Day my thoughts go out to the friends and family of Sgt. Timothy Martin. I met and served with him in Hawaii within our squadron. He was a man of quiet confidence and ability, the kind of guy you could depend on under any circumstances. I wanted you to know he and his family and friends are not forgotten and are in our prayers.

My son served with Sgt Martin in Iraq. I pray for his family and freinds every night God bless you..

As your parents return from Hawaii, and after speaking to fellow soldiers that knew of you and your courage, I hope that in some small way, your family understands what a true hero you are....the circumstances surrounding your untimely death, and most of all Sgt. Martin, That you have not been forgotten. God keep you.

To the family of Sgt. Timothy P. Martin:
Timothy 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."

I offer my deepest condolences for your loss

My son Sgt Scott Davis served with this brave soldier. They went to Intel School and Arabic School together. My son still speaks of the Tim's spirit of dedication. The soldiers Tim served with in Iraq will be coming home soon...

They thank him for his service and friendship. WE thank him for his ultimate sacrifice.

2009 brings a New Year...but it will not erase the past. Although I never had the priviledge of meeting Tim...my son gives me every indication Tim was a "great friend". Thats good enough for me.

I thank you Tim for a job well done. You will not be forgotten.

Not in 2009.....or the many years to come.

God Keep You,

"To live in the hearts
of those you leave behind
is never to die"
~Robert Orr~

I have been out of California and so have only now heard the terrible news of Tim's passing. My heart breaks for Tim and his family.
Tim was one of my best friends while at Saint Mary's College. We took nearly every science class together and studied for every test together. I probably spent more time with him than any other person while in college.
Tim was a fantastic person with a heart of gold. His intelligence and courage made him the ideal candidate for the FBI. Knowing that he will not be able to fulfill that dream is tearing me up inside. He had a zest for learning and life that was infectious. Tim had a large part in me choosing to become a science teacher.
I loved Tim as a friend and thought of him as a brother. I will never forget him or get over the tragic gap his passing has left.

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.

Dear Family and Friends,
I would like to offer my sincerest condolences. I cannot begin to imagine the loss and pain all are going through. My nephew is a United States Marine and serving in Iraq. We all pray every day for him and his comrade’s safety every day. War is a horrible reality. I salute and I am proud of all of our troops and their bravery to protect our freedom and serve their country with honor. Freedom is not free.
With deepest regrets and sympathy

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I just wanted to let you know that your family is in my prayers. Martin was in my nephew's (Kyle Baugh) unit and they were very good friends. I truly appreciate the sacrifice that your family has made for our country. May God bring you peace in your time of sorrow.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the Martin family and all that they’ve endured in the past month. I had the amazing privilege to cross paths with Tim in our senior year of college. For 27 days we had the opportunity of a lifetime to study the history and natural history of New Zealand. We climbed glaciers, bungee jumped, jet boated, and explored all of New Zealand’s natural parks. While traveling throughout New Zealand there were many times where we would casually strike up conversation about life, family, and ambitions over a nice kiwi brew. This gave me a chance of getting to know Tim not just as a classmate, but as a great friend with much of the same similarities, morals, and values as myself. We left that trip in New Zealand realizing that there were strong lifelong bonds made from one friend to another. From knowing the man Sgt. Timothy P. Martin there is no doubt in my mind that he epitomizes a true American hero. He will be missed and never forgotten.

With Deepest Sympathy,

To the Martin Family...I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Timothy. I am also the mother of a soldier..my heart is broken for you.
All of America grieves with you. May God hold you and comfort you during this time of sorrow.

To Sgt Martin's Family -

Please know that this family appreciates the sacrifices that your HERO has made for us. Reading the other entries, I have a small glimpse of the son, brother, uncle, friend that Tim was to so many.
Sgt Martin is another of our HEROES.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son, a true hero. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To Sgt. Martin's family,
I would like you to know that your son was the first person I talked to while becoming a soldier.He and I were seatmates on the bus from being a civilian to becoming soldiers at basic. Myself,and six others were part of an extraordinary group that moved together from basic, through AIT, and finally all were stationed at Schofield Barracks in the same company. We were a oddity within the Army. Everyone knew that we had each others back and that we were each others family.We were known as the "Day Zero Boys" We will always have a bond that transcends the Army. And for that I thank you for giving me the chance to have known one of the purest people in my life. My thought and prayers go out to the Martin family.

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

There are no words that can help you through this time of pain. Remember that you will always have a friend in me to talk and count on. My deepest sympathies for you and your family.

I love you all!!!

Heroes like Timothy give our country a much needed portrait of commitment and goodness. May you know that Timothy's service will always be significant to us who love the freedoms that soldiers have been the ones to sustain and protect.
I pray that the creator of all life is also the God of all comfort to you at this time.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I am so sorry for the loss of Timothy(a very brave soldier). You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God hold you in his loving arms and comfort you

My heart aches over the loss of another fine Soldier, God Bless his family and friends!
He will be sadly missed and forever remembered!

There is nothing that we can say or do to take away
the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow,
but I will offer your family our heart felt condolences.
I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will
ease and the memories of your HERO will carry you
through each day and night. I want to thank your
HERO, for his selfless act of becoming a member of
the armed forces, his 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. Though tears can never bring
him back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude
for the sacrifice that he made and our sorrow at his
passing.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers

I am so sorry for you loss. God Bless you and your family.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of your son, Sgt Timothy Martin. I did not know Timothy, but looking at his beautiful smile, I know he lived his life doing what he wanted....serving his Country with pride. Timothy is a Hero who has entered the gates of Soldier Heaven, now watching over his own. May God be with you during this time and in the coming days. My thoughts and heart are with you.

An (OEF Veteran) Army Mom,

My heartfelt sympathies on the loss of hero Sgt. Timothy Martin. May God be with you and comfort you.

Tim was someone I knew that enjoyed history and sports. Even one season when the 49ers did not have a chance for the playoffs, Tim still stood by their side! (Oh yeah, we gave him a hard time for that!) But that is the type of person he was, dedicated to what he loved. He could have asked for anything from home, but what he wanted was what the children of Iraq needed in their time of struggle. Tim will be remembered not just as a solider, but a person who wanted to give to children in a distance land the same joy he experienced as a child himself. I will remember him as a person who probably asked himself, “How can my life improve someone else’s life?” If he had to ask me that, I would say, “to live in your example.” Tim you touched us all, and in passing you will only inspire us all.

St. Anne’s, Class of ‘94

Our family would like to extend our condolences to you and thank you for the service of your loved one. Like so many heroes before, your Soldier understood that freedom requires courage and sacrifice.

We fully understand your loss; our son, PFC Jeffrey Avery, US Army was killed on April 23, 2007 in Muqdadiyah, Iraq. These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free. Written by, Michael N. Castle for his web site.

As part of the Army Family, please know you are in our prayers. If you need someone to talk to who knows and feels your pain, please know we are here for you. Do not hesitate to callon us if you need to vent, cry, laugh, or whatever.

With deepest sympathy,
Rick and Jennifer Avery

We care and share your sorrow and pride.

To the Martin family,
Our families prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow. I know God will make a way for each of Tim's family, friends and others that have served with Tim to make it through this tough time. My nephew Kyle Baugh was serving with him and I can imagine his pain and hurt he is enduring and the questions he must be asking God. May God comfort each one and hold them close in His loving arms and give each one peace that surpasses all human understanding. God bless each of you.

To Sgt Martin's family, I am very sorry for your loss. My heart and prayers go out to you during this very sad time.

My son served with Tim in Iraq and is greatly feeling his loss. "Martin" was a good friend and wonderful mentor to Kyle and is a True Hero to our family. He and Kyle were partners during training in Hawaii. Kyle and his wife and children thought the world of Tim. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy and know my prayers are with you. I'm sure Tim will continue looking out for Kyle from above.

Much Love & Respect,
A Proud Army Mom,
Gwen Baugh

I know there are no words that can even begin to make this any easier for you to bear. Just know that there are people who care, and hold you in their prayers. Try to find comfort in the realization that this time of separation from your hero is temporary. Some beautiful day in the future, you will once again be together in the presence of God. I personally, find great comfort in this fact. Our son was killed by an IED Balad, Iraq nearly 2 years ago. Little did we know, that the sweet child we raised would someday become a hero.

To Tim's parents. We have hosted several dinners in our home that included Tim, Doug, and Patrick. We got to know Tim and he was a wonderful young man. Ed and I attended his memorial yesterday at Wheeler Chapel. The tribute was powerful and the chapel was completely full of mourners. Our prayers are with you this week as you receive your son home. Jeremiah 31:13: "I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow." God Bless you and may you find peace. Ed and Jeanne Bernauer

As a sister of Soldier Sgt. Doug Kollar who was a great friend of Sgt. Timothy Martin, I wanted to express my sympathy and sorrow in his passing. I can not put into words the honor he gave in his life as a member of the military. It takes a very special person to serve in the US Military and he gave the ultimate sacrifice.

My brother Sgt. Doug Kollar will serve the United States Army more proudly because of Sgt. Martin and the friendship that they shared. The family is in my thoughts and prayers and may God bless you and hold you tight today and always.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.

I am so sorry for your loss. SGT Martin..thank you for your service and sacrifice. You are all in my thoughts in prayers. God Bless You.

To Sgt. Timothy Martin's Family
My heartfelt sympathy to each of you, in losing Tim. Jody and Trey Van Wyhe are my kids, they got to be great friends with Tim while he was in Hawaii, and they miss him greatly, and share in your loss.
Hopefully knowing we care and are praying for you will be of some comfort to you. Again my deepest sympathies to you.
Sincerely,

REST IN PEACE SGT. MARTIN, TO YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS MAY THE MEMORIES OF THIS WONDERFUL SOLDIERS LIFE FILL YOUR HEARTS WITH BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES
GOD BLESS YOU

I would like to send my deepest sympathy to the Martin Family. I don't know what you are feeling with the loss of your son. My son is currently serving in Iraq, when I read the newspaper I thought it was the company my son is in, however my son PFC Todd Lawrence is in Alpha Co. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong!

To the family and friends of Sgt.Timothy Martin, our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. My son Sgt. Douglas Kollar and Sgt. Martin were great buddies. They went to boot camp together and have been together since. I have enjoyed the stories that Doug has shared with me during their time in Hawaii as well as now suffering Tim's loss. Our prayers and love go out to all of you. My son serves proudly and bravely, Tim is his hero and will always be ours as well as all of the men who serve in the military.
God Bless the USA;.

To the Martin family,

I know at this time there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Timothys' 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.

With the deepest regret, I have just learned of the death of Sergeant Martin. 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 ...!!!

As a mother of a Soldier, I want to send my condolences. Please know that there are many, many people who grieve with you.

Thank you everyone,Tim is very much loved and We will miss him.
His family has great support from eveyone Tim knew.
I will pass this on to his mom and dad

My deepest sympathies goes out to the Martin's family & friends at this moment of saddness. I met Tim at SMC and had classes with him... he was my ride buddy from school back to visalia... Tim served and honored our country with pride and courage. With saddness there is celebration of life and happines. We should let our memories of Tim fill our hearts instead of sorrow.

My prayers and thoughts are with you.
I know how you feel losing a "HERO",Becoming a "Gold Star" Mother myself on 25 March.. The sacrafice our sons and daughters are making on a daily basis should tell us all..These young HEROS knew full well what they were doing and did it proudly When you hug your loved ones tonight.... Remember... We also hugged ours and they were protecting you..We.. as Americans need to make the "Ultimate Sacrafice" by supporting all our military(HEROS)...the Proud Mom of SGT. Jason W. Swiger

We would like to express our profound sympathies to the Family of Sgt. Timothy P. Martin. Our prayers are with all of you during this most difficult time. My son was in the vehicle behind Timothy when this occurred. To say the least he was very shaken by what happened to Timothy and the other three heroes.
God bless you all with comfort!

My grandson Sgt. Douglas Kollar was a close friend of "Martin". Although I never had the opportunity to meet him I have been told what a great guy he was.
It brings all of our family great sorrow to know of the loss of "Martin". We are holding all of you in our prayers and thoughts. His ultimate sacrifice is appreciated and will not be forgotten by the Matthew family. Sincerely, Doug's Gramma

To the Martin Family:

I had the great honor of meeting Tim as he was one of his Classmates at Saint Mary's College. Tim has left a deep hole in my heart not only because he was a great friend and human being. My classmates and I will miss Tim, but our hearts and prayers go out to you and the rest of your family. May the Lord grant you the peace and serenity that you need.

May he rest in peace and thank you Tim for being a great friend, student, and for defending us and your country. I'll miss you!

Please know how Deeply Sorry I am to learn of the loss of Sgt. Timothy P. Martin, the Price this Brave Young Soldier and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.

May Timothy rest safely in the Loving Care of God and may God's Healing Grace and Comfort be with the Martin 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.

are not worth comparing with the glory

May the Peace of God and your precious memories of Timothy, 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!!

I would also like to tell you about a website, http://groups.msn.com/SSPSoldierPor
traits/homepage,
where some wonderful people will make wood portraits of your fallen Hero for free for the immediate family. I became aware of this site when I wanted to do something special for Le Ron’s mother.
