To the family of SFC Wallace my deepest condolences, I considered SFC Wallace a true friend and great NCO. I went to every military school with Terry starting back in 96" at PLDC in Hawaii, BNCOC and ANCOC together at Ft Sill, OK. We would always seem to get separated thru all of our travels throughout the Army, but I guess it was fate that always brought us back together so I could learn from this great man, Terry is truely missed by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing him. Rest in peace Buddy......

I still miss you so much

I know that the love we shared will never be forgotten. You were and always will be missed by me and mine. It was the tatoo that held us together as friends forever. My prayers will always be with your family and loved ones. I fell to the floor when I saw it on the internet. It has been years since I heard from you. You emailed and sent a picture of you in Iraq. You said you had been over there two times and you were headed back and you had had a son and I was happy for you.You said that I helped you to be the man you became and I can only thank GOD for the trials of our love and friendship. I prayed all would be well with you. Even though I am just finding out it still hurts as though it just happened. I pray that your children will have the strength to yet through this. I know that Brittany is a big girl know or young woman. You left Fort Bragg, North Carolina and was never allowed to come back. You talked about your family so much I only wish I could have met them. But in my heart I did. You will be missed...Just Keep Smiling...Love Always Cassie

Happy Birthday TJ, You will alway be remembered.

I was Terry's platoon sergeant at Fort Hood, TX for a while. He took over all of my additional duties when I retired in 2001. We had a lot of good times together and I always thought of him as a 'winner'.
When I heard of his untimely death, it made me think of my own mortality. I can say this he always thought of his soldiers first and himself second. The corps (NCO corps) lost a good man and mentor. He will always be remembered.

YOU ARE SO DEEPLY MISSED.

Yet another year has gone by that you are no longer with us. Even now, it's still unbelievable. Missing you much my brother. Rest on!!!!

With Love,
~Babygirl~

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 Terry, 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.

i too was in taji with sgt. 1st class wallace and i remember him as a senior nco who was always willing to assist a soldier talk to them like they were equal never let em down if he said he would do something for a soldier he would do it or find some one who could he was a great loss to the 4th battalion 42nd feild artillery battalion and there soldiers but hes a even bigger loss to the people who knew him and spoke to him and who looked up to him such as i did

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt 1st Class Wallace!

It seems like just yesterday when I heard the tapping on my door and my dear friend saying to me come on battle buddy lets go get our workout on as we headed to the gym to try and reclaim some of our youth back.Although my heart is heavy at this time because you are no longer with us my dear friend and brother I will always keep you close to my heart.I often feel responsible at times because Terry and I made a promise to each other that we would always have each others back and that we would take care of each other as long as we were over there in Taji. Even though we were in different Battery's in 4-42FA we did just that until I had to leave Taji and go to another part of Iraq. I often felt that if I had never left that I would still have my friend here with me. When ever our minds were trouble we would sit and talk with one another to let the other know that everyting would be ok.In my 20 plus years of service I have never been closer to anyone than I was with my friend and brother BIG "O" as I use to call him.My friend was a Great Soldier,a Great American, and a Good man.I have dedicated a special place in my home on my wall for my friend and brother so that I will always remember the person and man that he was. To all of Terry's Family, Friends and Loved One's my GOD continue to bless you all, and may he always keep Terry close to your hearts as he will always be close to mine. 1SG retired Ervin Woodard Jr Alpha Battery 4-42FA

You are missed so much. Allway thinking of you.

Terry, you are missed so dearly! Times that I did see you were just a glare; but the rememberence of the good times we shared in our earlier years we had fun! Your always on my mind and will always continue to be. Love ya!

My son was with Sgt. Wallace at Camp Taji and talk very highly of him. My son, Cpl. Russell Makowski was also KIA in Taji, he was in the 4-42FA. When he was home on leave he told me about Sgt. Wallace and what a good Soldier and a HERO he was. In March the 4-42 is being deployed to Iraq agian and I feel in my heart that Terry and Russ will be there looking over them to keep things safe. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of these two Hero's and what they did for our country. GOD BLESS Sgt. Terry Wallace.

Merry Christmas Big Bro!!!! I know you're somewhere watching over us all!

Missing you still!

~Baby Girl~

Always on my mind.

My heart goes out to Sgt. 1st Class Terry O.P. Wallace. I don't know him but he will be miss.

Your Birthday Month Aug 15, Missing you.

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!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

To the Family: Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. TJ is truly missed. I served with him in Hawaii in 1993 and we would always complain about how we missed our MOM'S SOUTHERN COOKING, and later seven years had past before I saw him again, as I was visiting Germany in 2000. I remember how he ran up to me and greeted me with the biggest smile and hugg! That's something that he would always share with everyone he loved and cared for, wich would always brighting your day. Bro' I know you are watching over all of us and I know someday we will meet again, so until, MUCH LOVE and "Foxtrot Never Stops" (Motto of the F/BTRY, 7th FA Schofield BKS, HAWAII in 1993)!

ALLWAYS LOVED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.

My love goes out to Terry and his family. I met Terry in 1990 in Hawaii and we shared some great times with a fun group of friends. I can still remember him taking pictures with his polaroid camera and posing for self-portraits. He was such a great guy. I was sorry to hear that he was no longer with us. He had a great sense of humor and always could make you laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Danielle Bradley

I was deeply sadden to hear the lost of one of the true warriors in the United States Army. Terry and I served together in the 2-20th FA BN, Ft Hood, Texas and developed a wonderful friendship. His hard charging spirit carried the unit through a lot of tough situations. The soldiers and command really respected Terry. Even though we have never met in person, my prayers will continue to be with the Wallace family. My God continue to bless and keep you,

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

May God Bless your family during this time. I Lost my brother 9/1/05
in Iraq (Ssgt. George R. Drauhn Jr. naive of Shreveport, La). I promise the days will get easier!

I never had the chance to thank SFC Wallace for all that he taught me, both professionally and personally, from working together for so many months of this deployment. I pray for the peace of his spirit as well as the comfort of his family and friends. SFC Wallace made an enormous impact on the lives of those who knew him, and I am honored to be one of that number.
May God bless your soul, SFC Wallace. I will remember you with a smile (I can still hear you exclaim "Attention in the BDOC!" and recall your constant smile)...you are truly missed.

To the family of Sgt. 1st Class Wallace: Always take pride in knowing that your Son was, and is truly loved and missed by those who served with him. It is because of his good deeds and professionalism that the 4th ID will always be "AN ARMY OF ONE". May God bless you, and keep you safely in his loving care. RIP SGT. WALLACE..With love, pride and sympathy...Lebbie H. Dillard-Lee, Miami, Florida...Mother of SSG Ricardo M. Dillard, United States Army, Taji, Iraq.

TJ JUST THINKING OF YOU THIS IS THE TIME WHEN YOU WHERE GETTING ALL YOUR THINGS TOGETHER TO GO TO IRAG,THE LONG TALKS WE HAD I'M MISSING YOU SO MUCH.
LOVE YOU TISHA

To the family of SFC Wallace. I would like to express my deepest sympathy. It has taken me awhile to gather the courage to logon an sign this guest book. I took it personal when this incident happened because SFC Wallace was my prayer partner. I could always depend on him to lift my spirits with a scripture from our Farther's word. We past these scriputres back an forth since we started this tour in Iraq. I truly miss my friend but I know he's in a better place.



If God is for us who can ever be against us? Since God did not spare even his own Son but gave him for us all, won't God, who gave us Christ, also give us everything else?. Rom 8Chp 31-32 vrs.



May God continue to watch over the Wallace Family.

"TJ"

Words can never begin to express the felling I felt after hearing the news of your passing. I will always remember the fun times we shared on Thanksgiving at the Miles residence in Killeen. TJ, you are a true friend, so as you join the ranks of angels in the Army of the Lord; keep watch over your friends and love ones that continue this journey in what we call life. May the lord keep you for you are finally home Brotha...

T.J. my brother, my friend, It's been a little over two months since this tragic accident changed everyones life who knew and loved you. I must definitely say that you ARE TRULY missed by many.

Until we meet again, I'm sure you'll be holding it down!!!!!!





Your little sister always,

Even though I had my faults in life, you never gave up on me.

"Smoke Man", you will be missed...

Friends and family of my friend SFC Wallace. We miss Terry everyday. He was a good friend. I can still hear him laughing and see him smiling so clear in my mind. He and I could always count on each other to help get things done. I will think of him often and I send my deepest condolences to you and your family. I will always remember him when I would walk into the HQ in the morning and we would call each other "Pizzo" and laugh. I will never forget him playing with his poloroid camera taking pictures of everything. He was one funny guy. Rest well my friend until I see you again.

TJ YOU ARE MISSED

My brother best fiend its not a day that by that i dont think about you. it's still hard for me to accept. I remember all the times we had good and bad but we had each others back.

TJ I LOVE YOU,WILL ALWAY LOVE YOU THERE HAS NOT BEEN A DAY I DONT THINK ABOUT YOU. YOU ARE MISSED

TJ, when I heard of your passing I was so shocked all I could do was pray. I don't think a day has passed since that I have not thought of you. You were an original cat. From your stories and jokes, to our many domino games. All the holidays and cookouts, birthdays and just plain hanging. Traci and I are going to miss you Square. Much Love, and always in our prayers. Traci & DeVante'

I am very sorry to hear of TJ's untimely passing, I too am in Iraq, and this news came first through the alert channels I could not believe it, then I seen the e-mails from our friends to confirm it, I consider him as one of this worlds good guys, and the world will be a lesser place in his absence, I can still remember him and his spur of the moment freestyle raps and his love of making people laugh. TJ rest in peace my brother, and may the grace of God keep your family in your absence. GOD BLESS!

It was with great sadness that I heard of SFC Wallace's passing. I was notified by email on the 2nd of August. My sympathy and heart felt condolances go to his family and friends. I knew SFC Wallace for 4 years at Fort Hood and he was my section chief when I left the Active Army. In the field, we would spend hours talking about everything and it will be those times I will remember most. He was a Soldiers Soldier and those who had the pleasure to work with him are better today because of it.



I had not spoke to him for years and he sent me an email in February. He said he looked me up on AKO and wanted to see how I was doing. That gave me a chance to tell him thanks for putting up with me and teaching me all that he did. He cared for his Soldiers under his command and still cared for Soldiers he had not seen or heard from in years. I think that says a lot to what type of leader he was. I will miss him.

It was truely a sad day when I was notified of TJ's passing. I have had the honor of knowing this brave young man. I have so many memories of the younger years of his military career at Fort Hood. I remember the honesty and loyalty that I admired, not afraid to speak his mind, and tell the truth no matter how difficult. His family always at his heart, and experiences readily shared with his soldiers to keep them from harm. A true Radar expert dedicated to learning all he could to protect the soldiers he supported and buck the system if he felt it was needed. Our army will miss him, But those who knew him, are the truest loosers. To his family, thank you for sharing him with us. Terry was a pleasure to have as my soldier,and teamate. We played Softball together on many teams at FORT HOOD over the 10 years I have known him, those tournaments and weekends will always be some of my best memories. I will always remember him pointing to the right field fence as he parked so many of those homers( and a few popups). His competitiveness inspired us all. May God Bless and Keep your family.

My most Heart filled Condolences I send to you the Wallace Family, for this is a great lose to all who new SFC Terry Wallace. I knew "T.J" when we were stationed at FT. Bragg together,he was my closest friend. "T.J" and I were in the same unit in Iraq and we worked together everyday. Although I know that my friend is in a better place now,his death has been very hard for me to deal with. There is only once in a life time that you find that one person that you can truly call a friend. I had found that friend in "T.J" and I will miss him always.My prayers will always be with "T.J"'s family and friends, and I will always cherish the good times we had and the memories that I have of him . God Bless

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

My most deep condolence are to the family of SFC. Terry Wallace. I really didn't know him but my brother PFC. Abimael Marrero was with him in Taji in his same Unit. He always talk to me of Sgt. Wallace , he always threated him as a friend and brother and I have videos of my brother and him in Taji about 2 months ago laughing and talking. My brother is very sad and we are too. My prays and my families are with his parents, wife and childrens. God Bless You all .

To the Family and friends of SFC Terry(TJ) Wallace. I know there's nothing that could comfort you in this time of grief. I am a good friend of TJ and it's hard to believe he's gone. Just about 3 weeks ago I talked with him face to face and he was the same old loud and happy TJ, we go back to 1996 when we changed our jobs together. Once we found out that we were both from Louisiana, we just clicked. He will be sadly missed and I will keep the family in my prayers in your time of grief.

To the Family of SFC Wallace,



I was heartbroken to hear of your recent loss. My boyfriend Sgt. Brady Tello served under SFC Wallace in Iraq and was devastated by his passing. Brady said that he was an excellent leader, who will be greatly missed. I send my deepest sympathy to you at this time. My prayers, and those of Brady are with you.

SORRY TO HERE ABOUT THE LOST OF SFC WALLACE. I HAVE KNOWN T.J. SINCE 1996. HE WAS LIKE A BROTHER TO ME AND MOST IMPORTANT A GOOD FRIEND. I WILL TRULY,TRULY MISS HIM.

To the family of Sgt.Wallace,

My name is Sherrill Tello. I am the mother of Sgt. Brady Tello, who served under Sgt. Wallace. I was so sad to hear of your loss, and his men are truely saddened at the loss of this brave man. I don't know what I can say that will help you at this time, but please know that our prayers are with you, and I know that you will see him again some day. He will always be with you in spirit. He is a true hero as are all these brave young men and women. Please know that my son also sends his prayers, and great sorrow at this time. Remember the good times and it will help keep him close. My most sincere sorrow, and respect. Sherrill Tello

I had the pleasure over the years to grow very close to SFC Terry Wallace or "T.J." as all of his friends called him. We first met back in 1996 while stationed in the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Field Artillery. Over the years, as our friendship continued to develop he became like a big brother to me. The fact that we were both from Louisiana made our friendship even more worthwhile. T.J. was a very fun-loving person. He was always the life of the party. He knew when it was time to take care of business, or just time to have fun. T.J. will be greatly missed by everyone that was blessed to personally know him but especially by those who were priviledged to call him their "friend."



Rest in Peace T.J.



Your Little Sister ALWAYS!!!

To the Family of Sgt. lst Class Terry O.P. Wallace:

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.
