My ex-boyfriend Captain Raymond Sumner was injured in the same firefight and was with David when he passed away. I always remember the reverance he had for him. I always remembered David's name and have thought about him throughout the years. I just wanted to let you know he is not forgotten.

My name is Caitlin Karr, and I'm a Student at Sumner High School in Sumner, WA. Today we had our Veteran's Day assembly and as we walked in, we were handed little slips of paper with a soldier who gave the ultimate sacfrice's name on it. I got David N. Wimberg. It is now my honor to know the story of such a brave person, who I owe my right to teach from.
I want to let you know that David is being honored in other places around the US today as we celebrate our freedom and honor those who gave their lives to protect it.

In Memory of David ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know David, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

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.

It is with deep sadness that I honor the memory of another fallen Warrior. I ask the family and friends of Sgt. Wimberg to accept the offer of my most sincere and heart felt condolences. I hope that you know your loss is shared and mourned by many grateful Americas. Most of whom you have not met and in all probability will never meet. Our nation sincerely appreciates the sacrifices made by your Marine patriot.
Freedom is not free; it is paid for by out heroes and for those who fight for it, Freedom has a flavor the protected will never know!
I know the pain parents feel when they loose a child. I lost a son 19 years ago. It is a pain that defies description. It is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that will never end. It is a pain that is all consuming. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless and keep you today, tomorrow and forever!
Some people have to ask if they made a difference in the world but

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.

Psalm 23
1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3
He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!
My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

To the family of Sgt.Wimberg:I think of David everyday and always will. My husband is a marine brother to him and they were in Iraq together. My daughter was born on May 24th, the night before David went to Heaven. When I see my daughter smile, I am reminded of David and what he did for each of us. I only wish I could've met him. He is my Hero and lives on in the hearts of all of us. We will all be united one sweet day before God and there will be no more pain. Thank you Sgt. Wimberg for your bravery, strength and courage, and giving my husband memories of a brother he will never forget. Semper Fi!

I will never forget him.

David will always hold a special place in my heart, David was one of my first “boyfriends” when we were in 8th grade. He was a very sweet man. You should be proud that you raised such a gentleman and a brave man. I have never forgotten in, or will ever forget him.

First I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Wimberg family and friends. I knew Dave very well. We served together in Echo co. 2/7 2nd plt. from 2001-03. As a Marine leader, he was as good as they came, and in our company one of the best squad leaders we had. I also had the priviledge of being one of his friends, and as a person he was kind and always their for people, no matter what. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.

I am currently serving in Afganistan and was informed of his death just recently. Please accept my deepest condolences. We were in different platoons, but in the same company and to lose another Marine and Comrad is truly hard. He was a very smart and loyal Marine and will be missed very much. There are more Marines that have served with David that I will direct to this link. Again, I am very sorry for your families loss, but know that David will always be remembered. God bless and Semper Fi.

Dear Tricia and Family,
I had the pleasure of making a pilgrimage to Rome with a Barnabas/ St. X group in 2001. Tricia, I remember you fondly. I am so sorry for your loss...what a brave young man, an honorable young man, a proud, loving, and caring young man you raised. We all are blessed to have had this man as our hero-- although from the words of his brother, I know that was never David's plan, for he was a modest man. The following text is from a song I once sang-- it speaks to the power of faith, the power of hope, and to the belief that even in the darkest hours, when the sun seems to have disappeared and left us alone in the cold, we must hold strong to our belief in good, in God, and in the divine resting place that awaits us all in heaven. May God be with you all-- especially your dear son. Sending my love and prayers from abroad.

Hello Wimberg family,
We went to Ascension with Dave and grew up with him, living in the same neighborhood and going to the same small school for 8 years. We will never forget his sweet smile, light-hearted nature, and friendly, always-positive attitude. Dave was a friend to everyone in our class, and, by the way, all the girls had secret crushes on him. :) We will miss him and always keep his memory in our hearts.

My sympathies to your family. I work at Caesars Indiana and if I am not mistaken, David visited the casino before leaving the country. We discussed his trip, I told him that my prayers were with him, as my best friends son is also a Marine in Iraq. This young man , your son, was warm, friendly, well mannered and a joy to serve at the casino. I have thought of him often. May God Bless your family and David will always be in my thoughts. Sincerely, and with a thankful heart. Donna Ramey

I sat close to Dave in classes at Trinity, because we have similar last names. In the time I knew him, I couldn't recall a day when he wasn't smiling. For that reason, I smile when I think about Dave.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Wimberg:
I was very sad to read about David's passing. I remember him as a capable, good-natured young man, and one always expects such young people to have the time to grow old. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Certainly you can be proud of what David was able to become and to do in the time he was given.
God bless you and yours,
David Winkler

David is a hero and we are so proud that he served our country. We share in your loss. Our son, Cpl Dustin Derga was also in Lima 3-25 and was killed in action on Mother's Day. Our loss has a purpose and only God fully understands the plan. We are here for the Wimberg family-today and tomorrow. We will get through this together. May God bless you and comfort you.

We pray that you will find your way to a peace that surpasses all understanding.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Wimberg Family for the loss of David. Though I didn't know him personally I have a good idea of the the type of person he was by talking with his brother Michael at work. As a nation and a friend we are forever in your debt.

My prayers and thoughts are with your family at this very difficult time. My family and I also lost our loved one in Iraq. My brother, Daniel Faulkner (Clarksville, IN) was killed in action on September 8, 2004. Please know that your brother/son is a true hero. His sacrifice is truly appreciated by everyone.

We, like hundreds of thousands of Americans, cannot or will not join the Armed Forces in order to defend our nation from tyranny. Your loved one could and did. We will always thank God for people like him. And we thank you and grieve your loss and our country's.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy on your loss. I never had the privilege of meeting SGT Wimberg. As a Marine, David was clearly a gifted individual who has made a positive impact on his Country, Community and the many lives he has touched. Life brings tears, smiles, and memories: the tears dry, the smile fades, but the memories live on forever. Semper Fi. (Always Faithful)

Although I didn't know your son, I see that he achieved more in his short life than most who live many more years. I think every day of the brave young people who are giving their lives in this historic and important war, and of the broken hearts they leave behind. We are indebted to you for the fine son you raised, forever grateful for his service and so very sorry that he is gone.
Respectfully,
