Another Memorial Day on which we honor and remember you and all the other heroes who have made our country great. You are in our hearts every minute. Always proud!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Bass Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of David A. Bass US Marine Corporal. 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. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

David, sometimes we don't know why things happen but God has put so many people in your mom's life. I have been blessed as I get to know her and sadly it's because the death of our sons but God continues to work in our lives.
May your family be comforted each and every day.

Today I put aside the sorrow and remember the joy twenty-five years ago today when I became an aunt for the first time. I'll always be proud of having David for my nephew.

David, thank you for being Eric's friend. And now you both are having such a joyous time in Heaven. Thank you for your sacrifice, I pray for all of the heros fallen on that fateful day. May God Bless and comfort your family as He has mine.

It has been two years since we lost David. People move on with their lives, which is normal and healthy. Even so, it is nice to see these posts from those who knew him and from those who didn’t know him but just want to acknowledge his life. I can ask no more than that he be remembered and appreciated. Thank you so much for doing so with your comments and thoughts. It means so much.

Love you son and I miss you. Dad

On this Memorial Day you are remembered and respected. Thank you Cpl Bass!

Still think about you every day. We miss you so much. Thanks for keeping an eye out. I'll be seein' ya.

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 he is my hero.

Thank you for sacrificing your life so we could have the freedoms we do. I am the girlfriend of a firefighter, the cousin of a marine, and the sister of a private in the US army. I know what everyone who loves you is going through b/c i am going through the same thing, my cousin, the one in the marines, died over in Iraq about 2 months ago and it is very hard but i know he is in a better place watching over me.

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!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Cpl Bass and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

Thanks to all of you for your kind words. I am lucky enough to be David's aunt and to have watched him grow up to be a young man I am forever proud of. Few people are as inquisitive and anxious to learn as David. His sense of humor always kept things lively.
The emptiness that we have now can only be filled with the many wonderful memories we've built over the years.
Jessika, to you and all your (Dave's) friends. You meant the world to him and for that you will always be special to me too.

David, I miss you. We all miss you so much. I can't wait to see you again. Until then, we carry on. The only thing greater than the hurt of the loss is the pride we all share in you. I love you always, Aunt Linda

Love you Dave! You're still with us, though you're far away.

Remembering a brave young Marine on this Memorial Day. I never met Cpl Bass, but I am honored to have him protecting me and my country. My flag flies in his honor.

Dear Bass Family,

Today I googled my own name and come across the site about your son….
How odd to read in bold letters the name my parents gave me at birth….
How hard to hold back the tears to realize the person I share the same name with gave his life for our country…All the sudden the emotions flood my soul….the 9 months I spent in Desert Storm seems like a life time away…. I can only imagine the pain… and sorrow you all must feel…..How does a parent say goodbye to their child… Please know you are in my prayers…

May you know that I am praying for you. My son Jonathon joined the Marines in Nashville too. I am proud of your Marine and I thank you for your sacrifice for my freedom. God Bless you.

Please know how Deeply Sorry I was to learn of the loss of
Cpl. David A. Bass,
The price this Brave Young Marine and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.

There will Never be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Young Heroes for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.

Treasure this hero Lord, in Your Garden of Rest,
for while here on earth, he was one of our best.

I pray you find strength in your faith, comfort in God's love, and peace in knowing this country remembers David's sacrifice.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dave,

Hey buddy, it's Jessika. I was just remembering that talk we had outide of Shane's house about relationships...I was pretty drunk and I gotta say, that was probably THE most intelligent drunken conversation I have EVER had. Thank you for that experience. We all miss you, Dave. Even those of us who didn't know you as well as others. Love ya! Take care of us, Dave. You're good at it.

Dear Bass Family,

Even though we have never met I feel as if we are a part of a "family". My daughter's fiancee was killed in Iraq by an IED on Oct. 3, 2005. It is my prayer that God will hold you close to His heart as He has held my family these past months. May you feel His comfort and peace as you go thru these difficult days.

To the Family of Cpl. David A. Bass:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous 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. We lost our son 12/1/05.

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 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. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now 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. 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 courageous soldier and family.
