Michael Russell Creighton-Weldon Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 28, 2005.
Pfc. Michael Russell Creighton-Weldon decided to follow in his mother''s footsteps when he enlisted in the Army in 2002. Her son was a muscular 5-foot-10 and chose the infantry "because he''s a tough guy," said his mother, Sgt. Major Jean Weldon, who recently retired. Creighton-Weldon had a 23-year-old sister and a 15-year-old brother, and became engaged before leaving for Iraq. "My son was the strength of the household," Jean Weldon said. "After I got divorced, Michael was the man of the house." Creighton-Weldon wrote in his last letter that he was trying to be a good soldier. "The last thing he wrote in the letter was, ''I love you, Mom,''" Weldon said.

Today I've read something of the life of yet another fine young American soldier and I'm privileged to sign this memorial page for Pfc. Michael Russell Creighton-Weldon.
To his Mom, may I offer my sympathy, one Mother to another. He wasn't only a soldier, he was your son, and I can only hope that all the wonderful memories of your special boy provide you with happiness, despite the sorrow of his passing.
Sleep sound young soldier - your duty is done.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
