Many years have passed since this fine young American served her country with honour and courage. The words written by her comrades tell us a great deal about her. Those clear blue eyes are outstanding and they tell me that she lives on in the hearts of those who loved her, and love her still.
Wishing her family, and in particular her daughter, nothing but good memories as they move on without her presence for now.

I never met Jamie, but I have thought about her everyday since she died. Our Army convoy drove by the Navy convoy, before tragedy struck. In my mind, I'm still looking for signs of that explosive. We drove over 30 vehicles at that spot before the Navy arrived.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Jaenke yesterday I had his truck in my repair shop. He had Jaime's name proudly displayed on the side. As a retired Navy Seabee I reconized the name. I talked with him a while about his daughter. He told me everything about her and her unit. I am truly sorry for your loss. Your daughter is a true hero and patriot. God blessm

To the family of Petty Officer Jaime S. Jaenke:
The Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel Foundation will be honoring your loved one at the non-denominational Christian Memorial Day Remembrance worship service at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, 26 May 2013. We will remember the casualties of the Global War on Terrorism from Minnesota … and the bordering states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Outside of the historic Fort Snelling Veterans Memorial Chapel will be a “Memorial Garden” filled with some 300 white crosses bearing the names of the war dead … including your loved one.

The Memorial Garden will be encircled with larger white crosses representing all of the wars of our nation's history and give honor to all who have served in the United States Armed Forces and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. Wreaths will be placed at the foot of each 8-foot cross bearing the number of U.S. Service Members killed in each of America's conflicts.

I would like to extend to your family an invitation to honor us with your presence at worship as we pay tribute to the sacrifice made by your service member and family. Our pastor, Kenneth L. Beale, Jr., will preach a message entitled, “Freedom:Free, but Costly.” At the conclusion of the worship hour, all of the congregation will be invited to silently pay their respects at the garden and there place poppies at each of the crosses. A Memorial Rifle Squad of the Fort Snelling National Cemetery will fire vollies as the US flag is lowered to half-staff and Taps is played. Following your visit to the Memorial Garden, your family is invited to attend an informal reception (weather permitting) outside of the Chapel. The Memorial Garden will remain until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, 27 May (Memorial Day).

As this Christian worship service has traditionally been well attended, we would be happy to reserve seating for you and yours. To do so, kindly call (651/286-7296) and leave a voice message indicating your veterans' name and the number of persons attending. For more information about the Foundation or driving directions to the historic chapel at Fort Snelling, visit our website at: www.fortsnellingmcf.org Special rates for nearby hotels will be available. For more information call (651/286-7296) or email the office ([email protected]) and leave your name and contact information.

Also, beginning at dusk (8:30 p.m.) on Saturday 25 May through dawn (6:30 a.m.) on Sunday, 26 May, a “Prayer Vigil for Peace” will be held in the sanctuary of the Chapel. You are invited to stop by, light a candle and place it at the foot of your loved one's cross in the Memorial Garden … and then enter the Chapel for prayer.

If you are not able to attend, we pray that you would find comfort in knowing that our prayers are with you and all of the fallen heroes.

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.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Jaime, What a huge impact your short life has made on mine. It still hurts to remember but I know you would expect us to carry on. I remember what you told me the day before you died. I will keep that forever. You will be in my heart forever. I hope we made you proud.
May god grant you and your family peace and serenity forever.

I think about Jaime everyday and pray for her family and in particular her precious daughter. I was in Iraq and Kuwait with her and our other shipmates from NINTH NCR and NMCB 25.

I am 14 years old and was doing a report on Jamie for one of my classes. She inspired me and "woke" me up to what is happening in the world around me. She sounds like she was a very caring person who loved serving our country. Sorry for your loss my prayers are with your family and all the soldiers fighting in the war right now.

To the family and friends



I have only just begun this journey and may not have known your loved one personally. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and felt I needed to extend to you my deepest condolences.



No words will ever express the grief those close to this lost treasure are feeling. I can only say that I can share this grief as I too lost a loved one July 8, 2006. I will continue to pray for the safety of our soldiers and especially the family and friends of our lost hero’s. I only hope the memories will carry us through. I will continue pray that you also will believe and know that our heavenly father will not give us more than we can handle.



As always I read (and cry) through the memorials of our lost hero’s, So many people have already expressed the things I would also say. I am amazed and take comfort that so many people care. I can only thank you for the sacrifice you and especially Jaime have made to protect our country. As others have said “I am only an email away.” I would be honored if you so choose to share about this fine hero.



Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

To Jamies family, I served with Jamie with privilage. Jamie and I served together with NMCB 25 Medical department, she has forever touched my heart, with many amounts of laughter and lots of smiles. She could light up a room with her smile and always make you laugh. Please know that you are not alone and should ever need anything please reach out to her fellow Corpsman and Seabees. While we are still in Iraq, know that Jamie is always in our hearts and prayers. We miss her terribly but she will never be forgotten.

Please know that I am deeply sorry for your recent loss.

As a parent, who has lost a daughter suddenly,

and as a sister, who has lost a brother to war,

I am aware of the deep and devastating pain that you are experiencing.

The overwhelming heartache, seems to surface through our shock, as the time passes.

Please hang on to your Faith and know that you will get through this.

Ever so softly and slowly, time does heal.

May Petty Officer Jaime S. Jaenke, Rest Safely, in the Mighty Arms of God and know that she WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

I pray that God's Loving Comfort and Grace will continue to be with you and your family.

I am the sister, of such a Young Hero,

who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.



Surely He hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrow.

Isaiah 53:4



May the memories of your loved one live in your heart always.

Softly and slowly....

Time heals...

To the family of Jamie Jaenke. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was a pallbearer at Jamie's funeral.I was good friends with Jamie and it was hard to hear about her death. Jamie was a strong girl. The strongest I've ever met. I felt proud to have a chance to be friends with someone so great. Please take care of yourselves and stay strong through this time of loss.

To live in the hearts

of those you leave behind

is never to die"

To the Family of Petty Officer Jaime S. Jaenke;

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 a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.

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. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is those 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 courageous soldier and family.
