Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this month and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Bryan Edward Barron US Army Specialist.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

It´s been 10 years since I last posted here Bryan. As I grow older I think of the last words you spoke to me. It shook me to my core when you told me you weren´t going to make it back. I couldn´t accept that. All these years later and I realize that God let you know this so you could say your goodbyes. I was mad at God for so long. Every year on my sons birthday 5/23/05 the day you left this earth I think of you. This world is still a mess but your sacrifice made us all safer here at home and you are loved and appreciated! I take comfort in knowing that you knew Jesus and that he was an important part of your life. I know you´re with him everyday and you wouldn´t leave heaven if you could. My mom is there, my dads there, grandparents, aunts uncles, cousins, many friends too. It won´t be very long before we see each other again bro. As my eyes dim, my ears deafen, my hair grows gray and I feel my strength waining, I wonder what could have been. Yet I know, you were born to be a hero! And a hero you are brother!

To the family of Spc. Barron,
Please know that just as your loved one will remain in your hearts and minds, his sacrifice and that of your family, will remain with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God grant you the peace that passes all understanding.

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 Bryan, 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.

To Brian,
I never got to meet you and I wish I had. I have been friends with Amanda for a long time and I promise you that you are the best thing that ever happened to her. That little angel of yours Jaden is such a blessing and so perfect. She brings Amanda such joy. I am greatful for you for what you have done for our country our freedom and especially what you have done for my friend Amanda Barron. She misses you so much. And I say a prayer to you every time I visit you at her home!
Hoorah Brian, Hoorah!

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 have just learned of your great loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. I lost my son, Sgt. Jason W. Vaughn, on 10 May 2007 in Iraq. Before my own tragic loss, I always felt sorrow for every fallen soldier and their families; now I know the agonizing pain each family goes through. It's amazing how our worlds have come to a crashing halt, but everything else keeps going on. Your hero will never be forgotten. Hold tight to your memories. May God bless you!

They are now in a safe place and i will keep them forever. You will always and forever be in my heart!!! I am hoping to see amanda and Jaden when they come down. I was goin to put flowers on your grave on the 23rd but i was to upset to go and Daniel and I are goin to go this week. I miss you and think about you all the time. I have the picture you sent to me in a frame with all the other important pictures of people who are very special in my life. All i thought about today at work was you because people like you are wat Memorial Day is for. You will always be loved and never forgotten!! I miss you and I will always love you!

Bryan,
It has been two years since you were killed and sometimes my heart still aches so bad, especially today. I have been very blessed to be surrounded by people who are very supportive and understanding. My mom and sisters sent me messages and Newton called to check on me. We all miss you so much. I try to think of the fun times we had together and how you could always make me laugh and that helps me through the tough days but I think it makes me miss you even more sometimes. Even though I am in a relationship now I still think of you all the time and miss you terribly. I hope you are proud of the way Jaden is growing and becoming a little woman...full of attitude...wonder where she got that from?...
We went to D.C. this past weekend for "A Time of Remembrance", a ceremony dedicated to honoring all the fallen soldiers in this war. It was a very nice, but emotional, ceremony. I was able to meet some more families who have been through what I have, and even met someone whose husband was killed the same day as you!
They are going to dedicate the Natchez armory to you on your birthday this year! C. Co. has moved there and it's good that my Mammaw will be able to go since she lives just a few minutes from the armory. She misses you a lot too. She looks at Jaden and tears fill her eyes, as they do with almost anyone who sees her and sees nothing but you in her. I am so glad that Jaden is here to help me through everything. I don't know what I would do or where I would be without her. She is amazing. Hayley is growing up to be a lovely young woman. I see a good bit of you in her also.
Some of the men you served in Iraq with are going back next month. I pray all of them are kept safe and can return home to their families. It makes me feel different about Memorial Day...it used to be a day off work to spend with the family...now it is a sad day, but spent giving thanks to those who serve and the heroes like you who have laid down their lives for freedom. Bryan, you are the bravest man I have ever known and your love for me and your daughters is shown by the sacrifice you made for us. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life. I miss you and love you. A peice of my heart will always be yours...Your wife, Amanda Mae

It's been two long years since we heard the awful news, and you're constantly on our minds. I remember that day so well but, you know, I also remember in conjunction with that day the happiness you brought my daughter, and the extreme joy you took in your children. I remember Christmas 2004 when you had so much fun, and were just hilarious to watch as we gathered as a family to celebrate Christmas. I remember the new coffee pot and your insistence on getting the first cup -- and how your face screwed up when you took that first gulp and realized how strong the first cup could be! I remember your face when you received the flash light from my parents (how much laughter you invoked in all of us!). I remember you, Amanda, Brian, Liz and Katy cutting up and just laughing so hard all night. I remember how much emotion you always had in your voice when you spoke of your love for Amanda, Jaden and Haley. I remember your enthusiasm for life, your desire to make people happy and to help them out. Bryan, I've always been proud of you and your service to our Country. You touched a special part of my soul and you're never far from my thoughts. I thank God for the blessings you gave me. I also want to let you know that even though it may have appeared that no one was watching you and that you may not have realized the impact you had on our lives, you should know as you look down from Heaven on all those that you loved and who love you still, that you made a difference in our lives. That difference is reflected in all who knew you. You are definitely my hero, as you are the hero for so many others. "Lest we forget ... remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms." Bless you, Bryan. We love you. You touched all of us, and we'll always remember.

~Bryan~
I can’t believe another year has gone by. As today makes two years that you’ve been taken away. I can remember just like it was yesterday when I got the news about your death two years ago today.
Hayley, Jodi and I are going together to visit your memory stone at the VA in Biloxi today. Even though today may be a sad day we are still so very proud of you. So many people will hold on to the memories they shared with you and that helps with the pain. Some may think that the pain should fade but it doesn’t, you know some people understand and some don’t.
I still keep in touch with most of the family and never wish to lose contact with them either.
Hayley will be 11 in two months. That is so hard to grasp. She is turning into a young lady with the attitude like her father and that scares me in many different ways. :) She wishes you could come back; she knows that you can’t. She does say that she’ll see you again one day in heaven. This is so true; we all look forward to seeing you in heaven. You’ll always be our hero and that’ll never change. You’ll never ever be forgotten! I’m touched to know that an Amory will be dedicated to you on your birthday this year. You make so many of us proud. Stand strong and know that you’re loved.

Bryan,
I was messing with my car toaday and I got flustered and all. Then all I could do was laugh when I pictured you looking at my door fussing about how Shaun had put my door back on wrong when he tried to fix my window. You were a great friend to me and many others. I hate that your life had to come to an end like this,you will never be forgotten by me or my family. I can still see you and my mom standing in the kitchen talkin about life and all that we had going on. I know you look down on all us as we remember all the good times we had. You are a TRUE HERO in our eyes. I look forward to that day that I will be able to have you as my friend again to where you will never have to go away. You are greatly missed.

You have been on Hayley’s mind a lot lately. She has a choir concert tonight in Petal. I think she is very nerves. But I do believe she’ll do great, after all she is our child. She’s been practicing a lot.
Just the other night she came in my bed room and told me that she has been thinking about you a lot and misses you so much more. I wish I could take the hurt away but I know I can’t, all I can do is talk with her, hold her and tell her everything she wants to know. I have repeated myself over and over when it comes to some of the things she asks but I don’t mind at all because I understand the feeling she has. With that please tell my father I said hi and we love him too. :)
Valentines is next week and just in case I don’t get to write I want to tell you from the both of us Happy Valentines Day and we miss you. God bless you, Our Hero!
Love Always,

As I sat in church and watched our little girl walk by herself to the front of church and grab the preacher’s hand to tell him that she has given her life over to Jesus and would like to be baptized in front of the church…, this was so overwhelming. I cried the tears of joy and happiness. She was baptized after the morning service on 1/28/07. Our preacher talked with her and asked her questions and he said without anymore questions the lord has been dealing with this child for some time, may we all welcome Hayley with open arms.
I know in my heart that you were with us on that day. We love and miss you very much and we’ll continue to keep you in our hearts and prayers. Hayley sends her love, xoxoxox

The holidays are right around the corner. I can’t believe another year has already come and gone. I’ve been non stop...which in some ways are good. Sorry I have not written in awhile, but I’m sure you know everything that’s been going on and my reasons.
Hayley has the first set of her braces on; in two weeks she’ll have everything done. She’ll keep these on for a year. Her first soccer game is tomorrow. She is really excited about that. She made the Mississippi Elementary All State Honor Choir. I know you are very proud of her just like I am. She loves to sing just like us. Only the kids that made it are going to put on a concert in April. I think I’m more nerves than she is.
We think about you all the time and want you to know that you’ll always be in our hearts and thoughts. Hayley and I will never forget you. (I’ll be sure that she doesn’t.) We’ll miss and love you always.

You have been on my mind a lot lately. I still think about you every day and miss you terribly. We went out to Granny's for the family reunion and had a good time. You were on Granny's mind a lot; she talked quite a bit about you. It's kinda crazy that it was mine and Jaden's third year to go out there. The first time we went, she was only four months old and it was right before your graduation from Ft. Benning. Jaden has grown so much since then. I can't believe she's almost 2 1/2! Crazy how time flies. She was a little Greek Goddess for Halloween this year. She was so cute, but I think she's always cute. She's our daughter! Everyone tells me that she looks just like me, but I always tell them that she looks more like her Daddy. For that, I am so thankful. Sometimes it's hard to look at her, but it's also very comforting sometimes, knowing that I have a part of you still here with me everyday. With the holidays quickly approaching, it makes me miss you even more, wishing you were here to see your beautiful children grow up, but I know you are watching over Jaden and Hayley. I wish things were different and you were here, but I am comforted by knowing that you died fighting for something you truly belived in. So, on this Veteran's Day, I want to again say, Thank You, for everything you did for me and your daughters. You paid the ultimate price to defend and protect our country and those we are out there helping. Because of brave men and women like you, we are able to live in a country where we are free to live how we please and worship the way we want to. You are never forgotten! I love you and miss you!

I find it so hard to think that Hayley is going to be ten years old next weekend. She is growing up so fast. With every day that goes by I can see more of you in her. The last time I saw Jaden I could see a lot of you in her to. Your little angels are getting so big so fast. I know in my heart that you are watching every minute that goes by.

My dearest husband,
Another Independence Day has passed and left me so thankful for you and every other soldier out there. It's brave men, and women, like you that fight to keep our country independent and free and for that I am eternally in debt to you. Billy, Susie, Jaden and I drove to Biloxi on the 4th. We visited your memory stone at the national cemetary. While we were there, Varnado's parents pulled up. They had all their grandchildren with them and put flags on the graves of the soldiers that died over there. It was the first time I had met them, so that was nice. We talked for a few minutes then headed on our way. We saw Wayne-O too. Then, went to Scott's grave and visited with his family for a while. Instead of sitting at home shooting off fireworks to celebrate our freedom, we decided to pay our respects to those who died fighting for it! I miss you like crazy and think of you everyday. In my eyes, you will always be my husband. We always did say that we were soul mates, so I wait for the day we are reunited. Until then, I'm holding down the fort and taking care of our beautiful little girl. She's getting so big and talking so much, but I know you are watching every second of it. I just hope you are proud of the way I am raising her. I try to handle things the way I think you would have wanted me to. She's a tough little girl! Cindy says she's just like you...not just in looks, but in actions as well. Sometimes that scares me, but I am so blessed to have her and I thank God everyday that she does look so much like you. For me, it helps, but for some, it makes it very hard to be around her. She knows your face and kisses the pictures and says "love you" to them. You will never be forgotten in the lives of those who knew you, and especially in the lives of those most deeply touched by your life.
Love always,
your loving wife, Amanda Mae

I am so proud of Hayley. She is so bright and strong. I went by the school this morning and picked up her grades for the year. After all she has dealt with she still past with all As and Bs. I know that you're proud of her as well. I have added a picture of Hayley. It's of her putting flowers at your grave site and flags on May 23rd. This was a very sad and hard day for us as well for your sister Jodi. We all went together.
We miss you dearly.
Love Always,

As I sit here and stare out the window this morning I think of so many things we missed out on and had planned to do when you got home. It's been a year now and it still seems like yesterday. I still find myself connecting to yahoo to see if your online to chat with you and just to look at your pics. I talk with Rhonda and sometimes cry my eyes out for the girls. I'm proud of you and know your watching over them in Heaven and will always be in our hearts. I Love and miss you and look forward to seeing you again when we meet up there. But until then, know that you are always in my heart and my thoughts and I will never forget that ray of sunshine you brought with you no matter where you were. Love and Miss You!

My dearest Husband,
As I sit at home today, I am surrounded by sadness. The memory of me finding out about your death is as clear to me today as if it just happened yesterday. I can't help but cry and wish it was all a bad dream I just haven't woken up from. But it's not a dream. It has been one year today that you were taken from us. It just hurts to know that I won't see you again until I join you up there and we can be a family once again. Jaden will be 2 in a couple of weeks. Now, I kinda wish I had waited two more days to have her like you wanted so you would both have the same birthday. And, she looks so much like you. From what Cindy says, she acts like you too. She is talking so much now and getting so big. But, I know you are watching over her and Hayley and everyone tells them both constantly how much they meant to you. I hope you know how much you meant to me too. I love you and I miss you terribly.
Your loving wife,
Amanda Mae

Today is a hard day for us all as today makes one year since you were taken from us all. We all miss you so much. Hayley and I stayed home from school and work today. I find myself looking into her eyes and I can't help but to think how you won't be here to give her away when she gets married, see her finish school, or for that matter hold her first born child. I think about all these things when it comes to Hayley and Jaden both. They are both getting so big so fast. We're getting ready to go out to the VA. That's going to be really hard... I tell myself to be strong for the girls. Hayley loves you so much and I hope that you can see that. Not only her but we all do. I'm sure that everyone can say the same thing as I do, "we'll never forget, we'll always love and care for you".
Love Always,
Cindy Barron

It's been almost a year since you were taken from us.
It's been hard, making it through these days.
Your daugthers have grown, one has memories of times spent with you, the the other has pictures and other peoples memories.
But they both will grow strong and proud, because you died to ensure they and everyone will stay free.
We loved you before you gave your life and the love has grown since your sacriface.
No mother has ever been more proud, than those of us whose sons' fought for freedom.
This war will be be won, because of brave men like you.
So sit with all the other heroes and know that ya'll won't be forgotten and we love you forever. Love you, mom

Hello love. Well, the one year mark is quickly approaching and I still find myself crying and missing you like it just happened yesterday. It's very hard, but I go on because of our beautiful little girl that looks JUST LIKE YOU, and for that I am so thankful. Jaden is such good therapy. I love you so much. Nothing will ever change my love for you. You were the best husband a woman could ask for. I know we went through some rough times, but who doesn't? But, we always stuck it out and got through it with eachother, which only made our love grow stronger. I have heard from some of your fellow soldiers how you always talked of me and how much you loved me. I just hope you know how much I love you too. I always will. You have a big peice of my heart and Jaden has the rest of it. Until the day we are reunited, I love you and miss you terribly. Your wife, Amanda Mae

I just left the cemetary where I ran into some friends of yours. It meant so much to see your comrades from your unit at your gravesite, crying and mourning you. I sat there with them and heard stories of you and how much you were loved by them. That makes my heart smile and hurt at the same time. The one thing that all seemed to remember most was your smile. Happily that is what I see when I close my eyes and think of you. I miss you terribly and my heart still hurts like you were taken just yesterday. May 23rd will be a very difficult day. Know that you are still thought of often.

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 can’t believe that Hayley will be going in the fifth grade. It seems like yesterday when I found out I was pregnant and told you. I’ll never forget that.:) She has come a long way with everything. I remember the last time we talked, it was in May on the 12th. We talked for hours. You told me about all the things you wanted to do and take care of when you came home. I remember the day you left for Fort Benning and you came to my office and you said you hated to leave; after I don’t know how many hours you finally left. You said that you needed to get home and get all of you stuff and hurry because you shouldn’t have been gone that long. You were making jokes and telling the girls at the office how we did our spend driving…You know what I’m talking about. I told that story to Hayley and she laughed so hard. She just couldn’t believe it. She tells me her own stories even though I already know them. She asked me if you can hear her sing when she sings at church. I told her yes and you liked to sing too. We were looking at pictures and everything the other night because we moved and it’s still so hard to take in that you’re gone. I can’t believe 33 more days and it’ll be 1 year to the day that I got the news that you had past that same day and I hit the ground and went into shock. That was and still is the worst day of my life. I just keep the good memories alive by telling them to Hayley. You know I have lots of them to share with her. You always would listen when people needed someone to talk to and god how I wish you was here right now so we could have one of our talks. I know people will never understand but we do. I know that you’ve walked and talked with my farther and please let him know that I love him, I’m sure you both are getting along just fine. We’ll all see each other again in heaven one day. Until then this is our way of holding on.
Love Always,
Cindy Barron

Bryan,you were strong,proud,determined,anti-social at times. You were funny,scared,lost, worried,protective, and always there.But you always knew that you would fight for your country. It was a boyhood dream, even though you took a few detours,you mangaged to get back on the right track. We loved you, were mad at you,loved you some more. A few doubted you, while the rest of us had your back. We pushed you, praised you,complained to you,encouraged you, even tried tough love on you. And end the end, you always did what you wanted to do, and because you remained true to yourself, your now sitting at the heroes table, that God created for but a few. I love and miss you with each passing day. Mom

It has been 8 long months since our wonderful husbands went to be with Jesus! And most of the days I look back and wonder how I made it thru most of those days! And I know if I did not have Jesus that I would not be here today! It's because of his Grace I can stand here proud of what our husbands did and know that one day soon we will get to see them again! Even though we know we are going to see them again, it doesn't make it any easier! There are days when I get down, and I will go to McKaLyne and hug her. It feels as if I am hugging Daron! He left me a wonderful part of him! I will always cherish her!
I always thought of it as Daron is missing out on McKaLyne's life. NO, I am wrong. He only missed out on her life from the March 25,the day he left for Iraq, till May 23,the day God called him home! Because from May 23rd on, he has not and will not miss one second of her life! He is seeing everything she does, even when she sleeps at night! Not only is Daron seeing her, but our husbands are watching over us too!
We see people that have an Angel that says "I'm your guardian Angel" in there cars. We can proudly say we personally know our Guardian Angels! What an Honor! They are in Heaven, a place we spend our whole life trying to do what's right so that one day we can go! On May 23, 2005, they heard the final words, "Welcome thou good and faithful servant, Enter In". They don't have to suffer anymore. They have no problems! You could actually say they have to best of both worlds... They are in Heaven but they can watch over us!
I know it's not easy at night to go to bed alone. I know it's hard when our children do something new or wonderful, we just want to pick up the phone and let them know. Because I have caught myself attempting to do that even after it's been several months. Everything we go thru is for a reason. We may never know, but God does. And he has it all worked out! Even before we were born he knew! Always know they are watching down on us! And we will see them again soon!!!!
Always know you ladies are in my prayers! And if there is anything you need, please contact me!
I Love you and I am praying for you!

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!!!!

It seems just like yesterday that i got the dreadful knock on the door... But it has almost been 8 months.. The hardest 8 months of our lives... But with God we are going to make it!!! I think of it as God needed a few more angels... and he picked the best he could find... I know that it doesn't make it any easier... But to think that one day soon we will get to see them again... makes it all the better!
Our husbands, will never be forgotten!!! I have a 17 month old dughter, McKaLyne, and she knows her Da Da is a HERO!!! And when she gets older she will about all of her Da Da's buddies... And know that they are True HERO's!!!
If you happen to have any pics of my husband or the platoon they were with, if you don't mind I would like to have them. Also, the 155 made a banner that is hung at Camp Shelby were the guys are unloading that are coming home from Iraq. And it has our husbands name on it. I have a picture of it. If you would like a copy, just let me know.
You are in our thoughts and prayers!!
God Bless You
