To the family and friends of Sgt. Ezra Dawson:
Always remembering Ezra. "Some gave all."

Hey Ezra Dawson,AKA Roach, What's up! Just sitting here during the holiday weekend laughing and talking crazy with the family and missing yuo. I remember all the times we played surrades and especially Monopoly. When we would bust you cheating and your crazy explaination was, "Mom, If you ain't cheating then you ain't trying." (lol) I would say "Boy, you are too crazy! Of course I would pop you right on the head. I said it then and now once again, Moma loves you. I will always keep you dear in my heart although we are apart.

I was just sitting here going through my email and saw someone make a post regarding my little brother Ezra Dawson who was one of the best men I have ever known. I appeciate all of you who knew or not that through this site and some others my little brother will never ever be forgotten. Each day he is apart of my life things he said and did or just thinking of his laugh that used to annoy me and now I MISS IT SOOOOO MUCH. Ezra I love you and know you are still with us. Give daddy hugs for me. R.I.P. Lil Bro.

Ezra,
Known to me as Vegas. Words can't even began to express the hurt I felt when I got the word of what happened. The perfect soldier who did what was asked & never questioned it. Helped others even when they made him mad. But most of all my best friend, more like the brother I loved with all my heart. Thank you for all the times you were there for me, as well as all the good times we had all over Texas. I'm still going to take that trip to Brazil we wanted to take when you got back & will make sure I leave a part oof you there. I love you always & forever bro. Rest in peace.

Ezra,
Although we met only one time in Vegas 2002 at the Farr Family reunion, you were my first cousin on my father's side and tears come to my eyes because I did not know you. But as we spent the weekend together all I can honestly remember is that you made me laugh! As I turn the pages and see how very special you were to people in your life and how your memory still moves on, I feel sad. Sad because I was not able to grow, play or share my life with you. I will try not to make that mistake with my children and your sisters. I am proud to say your sisters and I will close that gap. I am getting to know them day by day. Your mother's twin (that's what they call me Little Eva). Rest in peace.

Ezra you would have turned 32 this on December 9th. I remember telling Amir when you left that you would be back by this Christmas. It is unfortunate that you had to go over there but what is done is done. I feel your presence more than even now. I thank God for you, Ezra. I feel lost sometimes about why you had to endure so much at young age but it feels good knowing that you were able to spread your energy across the world even until death. I will see you on the other side. I will always love you. Your big sis Atarah

Showtime-

Showtime is what we called Ezra for a nickname. He was always ready to get the job done and do whatever was neccesarry to get it done. My comrade, my friend, my brother. Many past memories course through my mind and every one I have of you puts a smile on my face. I can still hear the sound of your very laugh in my head. You have made me a better person and I will never forget you. I will honor you always as a brother.

Ezra, God bless you soldier and thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation and for paying the ultimate price for our freedom.. You are now in great company with God and so many other fallen heroes before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was killed in action in Iraq and my final promise to him was to never forget him and our fallen hero’s, we will never forget their commitment and sacrifice. To the Dawson family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Ezra 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!

Ezra little brother you will always be in are hearts.

EZRA WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH..

SGT EXRA DAWSON
you are my hero may god keep you in his arms forever.

Ezra means helper. Ezra was named after the book of Ezra in the bible. Before Ezra became a soldier he was already a hero to his family. He was truly a gift to my life and my 2 other sisters. I am finding ways to get throught this and I fell upon this site. I am truly thankful for the wonderful remarks and will archive and continue to make sure my brothers legacy continues. I know he is with my father now and other lost loved ones. I will miss him forever........My baby brother

To the parents and family, 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 heal you as He gives comfort to you today.

To the Dawson family,

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

There are no words that I can say to even begin to express my sadness for your loss. while I did not know Sgt. Dawson, My brother did. My brother PFC Michael Dinterman was Assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Hood, Texas. He was killed September 6th 2008. I take comfort in knowing that both Sgt. Dawson and my brother are not alone. THANK YOU Sgt Dawson for your service to your country.

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

To the family of Sgt. Ezra Dawson:
Ezra 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."

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 Sgt. Ezra Dawson our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Ezra. And to Ezra it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Ezra, 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 Ezra’s family and loved ones.
