Thank you Jeffrey Bohr for making a choice that led unfortunately to your making a sacrifice. You and soldiers like you are still honored, respected and remembered after all these years. What you did in Iraq, certainly made a difference.

To the family of Gunnery Sgt. Jeffrey E. Bohr:
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 27 May 2012. 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 the United States and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. Wreaths will be placed at the foot of each 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, U.S. Army Chaplain Col. Kenneth L. Beale, Jr., will preach a message entitled, “Lest We Forget Freedom's Cost.” At the conclusion of the worship hour, all of the congregation will be invited to silently pay their respects at the garden and 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.
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 (651/456-4410) 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 (651/456-4410) or email ([email protected]) the office, and leave your name and contact information.
Also, beginning at dusk (8:30 p.m.) on Saturday 26 May through dawn (6:30 a.m.) on Sunday 27 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.
Respectfully,

I have a story to share for friends and family of Jeffrey. This comes from Forrest Wise, who organized one of our Run for the Fallen events in TN.
All the best,
Jon Bellona
Director, Run for the Fallen
From Forrest...
"This was the 4th year for the Hendersonville Running Club to conduct the Run for the Fallen of Sumner County, TN. We had a list of 10 names that were either from Sumner County, or had connections with Sumner County, or friends of our fellow runners. We ran a 6.8 mile course along the new greenway in Hendersonville. The weather was perfect. We were honored, this year, to have Col. Many-Bear Grinder (retired), who is the Commissioner of Tennessee Veterans Affairs, and also mother-in-law of CW02 (Army) Billie Jean Grinder (KIA Feb. 21, 2010). As she kneeled in front of the Grinder marker, at the 5 mile mark, we were reminded, not only of their sacrifice, but family members continue to deeply mourn their loss.
Another story that I would like to share with others, centers around one our HRC members:
An Amazing Co-incidence or Spiritual Telepathy
One of the original organizers of Hendersonville Running Club's Run For The Fallen program, was Marine Master Sgt. Kenneth (Randy) Smith (retired). He has been an avid runner, including qualifying, and running in the Boston Marathon, a couple of years ago. All of the names for which HRC runs, have connections to Sumner County, but he has always added two close friends that served with him and were killed in action. Recently, his life was changed instantly, and his devotion to the fallen was intensified. While searching for a bargain on a bed frame, he happened into a local Goodwill Store, thinking that may be a good place to find one. He was unsuccessful, but as he was leaving the front of the store, he paused at a table of books. We know Randy as an energetic, athletic, outdoors Marine type of man, with bed frame on his mind. For some unknown reason, he paused, and picked up a book. Because it was on end, he turned to the front of the book, and it read, "A Table in His Preasence" by Chaplain Lt. Carey H. Cash, not exactly a title that he would be interested in, but it did have a picture of some Marines on the cover, so he investigated a little farther. He looked a little closer and seemed to recognize one of the faces on the cover and flipped through the book, back to the front, and found some pictures and an article about his fallen best friend, Gy Sgt. Jeffrey Bohr. Visibly shaken, he marveled at the chance occurrance. He eagerly scanned the article and description of Gy Sgt Bohr's heroics and eventual death. He bought all seven copies of the book. That evening he read the book, learning more about his best friend that he knew while serving at 29 Palms years earlier.
He called me several days later, and said that his life has been changed by a book he found.. Run for the Fallen had taken on a much deeper meaning. He had previously participated to honor his friends, but now, it's his duty, a debt to fulfill, a much more passionate cause; a hole."

Your memory is alive and well, Jeff. We only met briefly, while you were a Corporal at King's Bay with the Security Force Company. My best friend Chris Cunningham was in your platoon, and we met while I was on leave from the Army before heading to Germany. I memorialized you on my blog site back in November 2007 on the birthday of the Corps, and every few weeks I'll get a visit to my site from people who Googled your name. There are still folks out there that your life impacted. I'm glad to be doing my small part to keep your legacy going. Rest easy, brother. Semper Fi.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
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”
Please contact me and I will email you back a copy of the Angel drawing I have posted here.
I did not know Jeffrey, but he is my hero.

Hello:
I had the pleasure of knowing and serving with Jeff at Camp Pendleton. I remember when I heard of his death and the sorrow I felt. I had lost a friend and the Marine Corps had lost a good Marine. I have thought of Jeff many times since that day and will remember him always, Semper Fi brother and rest easy, you deserve it.

Hello:
You do not know me but I left a tribute for your family member at an earlier date. The reason for my note is to let you know of a group of people who are willing to do portraits of fallen soldiers in wood free of charge. If your family is interested you can visit their website at [email protected].
com. I became aware of this site when I tried to do something special for my son's best friend's mother (my son's best friend was KIA 7/6/07, he was 18). Some of you may have already had this done but for those who did not and would like to, please contact them they are wonderful people.
God bless you and I am so sorry for your loss. Your HERO will never be forgotten.

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.

Hey brother,
It has been a long time since we were in fast company together. You were the first wartime death that I recognized from Iraq. I talked to a friend of mine who was in your BN when you died. He told me that everyone respected you for being a hard charger and expecting more from your Marines. What an honor to have known a true hero who died for our great Nation.
Thank you for your selfless sacrifice Jeff and I will always remember you.Rest easy brother.
All secure,

I believe that I may have served with Jeff several years ago. I was in D/2/10 from 1979 to 1982 and F/2/14 from 1986 to 1994. Also, HQ/2/14 until I retired in 1998 as the Bn Xo.
Semper fi,
