Well Dave I've been thinking a lot about u lately. I'm not sure if it's because of Payton or if I just need u to be on my mind. Sense Payton was born i think more about life and death. How short ur life was but how much u lived in ur short years and I can only hope that I can live as much as u. I hope everyday that ur watching over Payton and keeping her safe. I wish with everything that u could have met her. She's just a happy baby like u were. She's always smiling and full of so much love she remind me so much of u and I hope ur proud. I love u my brother with all of my heart and will never forget u and neither will Payton rest in peace my hero cuz u deserve it

Battle, it has been nine years but not a day goes by where I don't think of you. I never knew your family, and we only knew each other out of the necessity of the mission at hand, but your none of that matters. I continue to pray for you and your family because you matter. You mattered to each and everyone of us. It's hard for civilians to understand the selfless service and the bond of brotherhood we shared. Though those times are now a distant memory, time has not lessened their importance on any of us. Know that the entire "Strike Fast" community is thinking of you. Always.

To The Gordon Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. He was a man wise well beyond the age of 23. His time with all of us may have been short, but the light he carried in life burned brightly. Know that you will never be alone in your grief.

love an miss u my son

My son ther has been so much going on that u would b so happy jean had a baby boy an she named him david micheal gordon so ther is ur namesake an then teresa is finally having a baby I'm really hopn it was twins but mayb the next time lol I miss you but I no ur with me when I look at lucas I see u he looks like u an acts like u which is a good thing I think of u all the time but one day we will b together I love u with every breath I take love u my son

I know that u r around me but i wanted to let u know that i am finally gunna have a baby. I know that u would be so excited. Its still early but I hope that u protect this little one even though its not here yet just like u always protected me. I wish that I could have returned the favor to u. I cry alot when I think of u but know that they r not always sad tears but sometimes happy ones. I work with a guy that use to be friends with u and even he misses u.I feel like the time I got with u was to short and would give anything for one more day with u. I love and miss u my brother my hero my protector always in my heart ull be till we meet again

Hey dave I know I haven't been on here for a while but I do think bout you every day. You are the reason I got my GED and decided to go to college. I only have a couple of months left before I have my associates and I hope this makes you proud. I have only ever wanted to make you proud. I wish you could be here so bad but I know that one day I will see you again. You made such a difference in my life as well as many other. I just wish you could have known what you really ment to everyone that didn't get to tell you. You turned 30 this year and me and dad celebrated it like we always do. He misses you so much and was so hurt he didn't get to say anything to you the last time you where here. But he knows he will see you again one day. We all wait till that day to see those big brown eyes and that happy smile. I know you are around just not in the way that I would like. I know if you had it your way you would still be here with us all. I love you my big brother and you will forever remain in my heart.

Another year has gone by that your birthday has come and will go. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, continue loving you, and wishing you were still here with the boys and I. We released balloons again with messages for your birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate. We celebrate all of our amazing memories with you and know that you are here with us in heart. I will forever love you David. They say its suppose to hurt less as time goes by, they are wrong. Every bday, every anniversary just isn't the same without you. Everyday I live my life hoping to make you proud of the choices I make, and raising the boys. I know you would be so proud of them right now. They miss you but live their life the same as myself, making their daddy proud. Happy Birthday my love. Forever in my heart I hold you, for holding my heart, you will forever be. Loving forever and always and forever and always your wife

Miss you !!!!!!!

Hey brother,

Been thinking about you a lot lately. I seem to do that when I feel lost. I miss you man that crazy smile, zany energy, and all that year we spent living together over there. Part of me wishes I could get over the whole ordeal of that night; while the other keeps it alive to remind me just how short and precious are time is. I talked to Kim the other day she is doing great, finally going to school and making awesome grades. You would be proud of her bro. She told me the boys are doing great. Seems like Michael is starting to follow in your footsteps. Matthew is doing great in football too I hear. I wished you where here. I always looked to you for advice. I mean lets face it neither one of us where cool headed but we kinda balanced one another when we needed it. I hope your rocking it hard up there and maybe I will see ya at the gates one day but till then just remember your never forgotten by those whose lives you changed and those that loved yo.

In memory and honor of David Gordon. We remain grateful to him for his military service and the sacrifice he made.

MERRY CHRISTMAS DAVID ..I LOVE AN MISS U VERY MUCH ..THINK OF U EVERY DAY .UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN MY SON I HOLD U FOREVER IN MY HEART LOVE MOM

Well, I just want to say I am sorry for your loss. I was a dismount in the vehicle behind SGT Gordons' vehicle that night. I always think about that day and what happened to him. We didn't know he had passed until coming back from that mission. He and his family will always be in my heart and prayers. HOOAH!!!!! (currently stationed in Germany)

love sammie

I was assigned to the MP Det there in REO with Gordon. That terrible night I was suppose to take lead in that convoy. But instead Gordon stepped up without hesitation, giving my team a break. I possibly owe my life to him. One of the best. Thoughts are with you.

i was sitting here going through my photo albums and i was remembering way back about alot of things and how all of our lives have changed..you was an amazing boy that grew into a man...god bless your mom and your sisters..and thank you for protecting us then and now...love you always

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THAT WAS CLOSE TO DAVID WHILE HE WAS IN IRAQ .HE WAS MY EVERYTHING AND ITS HARDER EACH AND EVERY DAY GOING THRU LIFE WITHOUT HIM BUT KNOWING THAT HE WAS NOT ALONE THAT HE HAD FRIENDS LIKE YOU WHILE HE WAS THERE ..LIGHTENS MY HEART AND I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART ..I THANK YOU AGAIN AN GOD BLESS YOU..(DAVIDS) ,MOM,SISTER

I was there the day your son was lost. He was a good soldier and a hell of an NCO. The ARMY is the worse for wear without your son. I think about your son everyday, and I pray that over time the burden of his loss is lightened.

David Gordon u are on my mind and in my prayers everyday for the last five years. To the family of SGT David Gordon your Husband, Son, Brother, cousin and father was a great soldier it was an honor to serve with him. I wish everyday that five years ago would have went different. I only wish I could put into words how great of a soldier he was so that you the family could understand. There was only one Gordon and I have never had a soldier like him before. So thank you to his parents for the way you raised him it made him a perfect soldier.

Wow I cant believe it's been 5 yrs...It seems like yesterday. Not a day goes by the boys and I don't think about you. We sent you messages as usual today at the plaque, hope you liked the balloons in your favorite color of blue. I miss you so much and will never stop loving you babe. Forever in my heart I will hold you, for holding my heart you will forever be. Love and miss you always...Forever Your Wife and your boys

To the family and friends of Sgt. David W. Gordon:
Please accept my remembrance of David on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Most people fear that they will be forgotten, but you my friend are still held in many hearts, including my own.

David you are and always will be the love of my life. Yesterday like everyday without you is so very empty. I miss you so very much. I wish you were here to see how big the boys are getting and to share all those firsts with them that you had spoken of looking forward to. It scares me sometimes how much they act just like you. They talk about you on a daily basis and how dad would of loved this and how dad would of liked that. Our time together was taken but I believe in my heart you are still here with me always. You are and always will be the love of my life, my bestfriend, my love, my husband, and the only true father to the boys. We love and miss you always...until we are together again

my dear son 2 years has come and gone, with out you, my life seems so empty i think of you each and every day i wish that you were here, i know one day i will be with you but i have the guilt of not being able to protect you and keep you safe and out of harms way i promised you when you were born that i would never let nothing hurt you but i couldnt keep that promise to you and i will carry the feeling of letting you down you are and will always be my pride and joy and i love you and miss you with every breath i take until i meet you in heaven i love you my son love mom

its been 2 years today since you been gone. i still miss you each and every day, and always will till i see you again. its hard to look at pictures of you knowing that i can't call you or visit you. i love and miss you dave, with every ounce of me. i can say it as much as i want, but still feel like it's not enough. you are truly my hero.

Well it is hard for me to think that it has been two years since that day.
It plays in my mind everyday though I pray for you all the time. Even though I'm out of the Army during the day my nights are filled with sandy places you are missed To Gordons family thank you for raising such a wonderful person who became a great soldier I am very greatful to have had served with him in Iraq. I am forever grateful to the Gordon family thank you

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 David, 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.
