My condolences to your family. I did not know Kevin, but I met his cousin Anne Atkinson and she is so proud of his service to our country. My son, Kevin Prince, also died in Iraq in 2005. I know your pain and I appreciate what he and your family have sacrificed for us all. Love to your family. Susan Prince

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 Kevin, 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.

Tears from Heaven were flowing
Causing the clouds to swell,
The Angels in Heaven were crying
On the day we bid you farewell.
It grieved us to say good-bye
The Angels knew our pain,
So their tears became the moisture
That fell in the form of rain.
God needed another Angel
Whose good deeds on Earth were done,
He needed someone special
You were the chosen one.
Happy memories of you surrounds us
They make us laugh and smile,
We were blessed to have you with us
Even though it was just for a while.
We will meet again someday
In the city made of gold,
We shall be together forever
God's words have been foretold

I served with Ott in B Battery 3-18FA. I will never forget the funniest moment i had with him in Kuwait when he was stung by a bug and his upper lip swole up soooo bad. He made fun of himself more than we did to him. He was always in a good mood and smiling and my kids loved him soo much he was always swinging them around along with the Rodriguezes kids. We miss you Ott and i will never forget you!!

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 guestbook 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.

Ott and I went to basic training together. I didn't know him that well, but just enough to know he was a good soldier and a good guy. May he rest in peace.
