To the family and friends of Spc. Walter B. Howard:
It has truly been my honor to sign Walter'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 Walter will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Always remembering Walter. "Some gave all."

Wish you were here "BROTHER".
We miss you.
Loved having a few beers and laughs.
Always thinking of you,whenever I POP-A-TOP, and play POOL.
By the way, if you come across my son,Aaron(Max),give him a punch in the arm. I really do miss you guys.

Today, for some reason I feel compelled to look for a connection to you Walt. I don't know why. I just miss you so much. It seems life has been at a standstill since your early departure from us. I think about you every day. Always love my best friend and brother.

Uncle Walt is missed and thanks to everyone who is keeping his memory alive...

You are not forgotten, we still remember you and talk of you. You are missed.

We love you Walter! 5 years and it seems like only yesterday. You will never be forgotten.....!

To the family and friends of Spc Walter Howard. It was my honor to participate in the Run for the Fallen mile honoring Spc. Howard.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Spc Howard!

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!!

Please know how Deeply Sorry I was to learn of the loss of Spc. Walter B. Howard, one year ago today.

May this give you comfort and strength through the difficult days.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.

What sorrow you have had this year. My sympathy to his family and all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.

I would to extend my gratitude to all that have left comments on this page on behalf of my entire family. Walter was a very special man and he is greatly missed. Your words have been a great source of comfort during this devastating time. There will never be a day that we don’t think about Walter and how proud we are of him. He was a wonderful Son, Husband, Father and Brother. Our lives have been altered forever and we will never be quite the same. But thru all your well wishes and prayers we cope and we go on with Walter on our mind and in our hearts. Once again Thank You and God Bless.

Dear Jamie and Family,

I never actually got the chance to meet you. My husband and yours worked together in Iraq. I am sorry that I could not do more for you other then make a meal at the time. I am praying for you and your daughter and I hope one day you will find peace and I hope your daughter grows up knowing how very special her daddy was to give his life so we could all be free.

You are in our prayers

My fellow Howard family oh what pain our families are experiencing.

I just wanted to let you know of our gratitude of your son Walter.

We received an e-mail from Curtis II, informing us of Walter's death and he asked us to pass the information on to our pastor asking him to deliver prayers for your family.

Little did we know that God would call Curtis home a few weeks later. These are some difficult days for us as you are well aware of, we will continue to keep you and the entire military families in our prayers and hope that no one else has to start their day as we did. My God continue giving you strength.

I just happened to stumble upon this today. I'm Jamie Howard... Walt's wife. You don't know how much it means to me to read such kind words from people that didn't even know my husband. He was a wonderful man who loved his family and his country. I will miss him dearly for the rest of my life.

My heart breaks for the family and friends of Walter Howard. I never met him but my son knows Walter. They were friends and American Soldiers together at Ft Carson and Iraq. My son mournes the loss of his friend. My sons words "Rest in peace my friend" May God Bless and keep our troops safe. Give the famlies here at home the courage and strength we need. My prayers are with all of you.

To the Family of Walter,

I am so sorry for your loss. I pray daily for those in service to our nation. I also pray for those who have fallen to protect me and my children. Thank you for sharing Walter with us. I am also very sorry that I was not able to par tribute to this HERO at the funeral. I live nearby and wanted to go to support you and honor Walter.



I pray that God wraps His loving arms around you now and forever.



God Bless Walter and God Bless his family.

We car and share your sorrows.

To the Family of Spc. Walter B. Howard:

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all 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, 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. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.
