Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Kelly S. Morris US Army Sergeant.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

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.

Kelly, there are no words than can express how i feel at the moment. i havent talked about that day since it happened, it's been too hard to concieve.. i remember when i became your squad leader in 3/15 and then when we went to Bayonett company together.. you always asked me when we were in the desert if you could take my 203 (grenade launcher) and i'd always swap with you cause i knew you loved that thing. we were all there for each other, through thick and thin- me, you, j-rod, dotson, sledd- hell all of the boys.. there's a piece of us thats been missing since that fateful day and we've all know that piece is you. you're crooked amile or outbursting laugh still comes to me in my dreams. we are all haunted by the memory that maybe there was something we could do or have done. especially dotson.. that kid loves you so much, he always did.. you made such an impact on our lives and you are always with us.. in our hearts and in our minds your are so very dearly missed. as your brothers we've all caught ourselfs saying "i wish it was me instead" or "damnit why wasnt it me, it should have been" but we know that you would nat have had it any other way. this is the first time i've spoken about any of this.. mainly because you know me, i try too keep strong for the boys. i just miss you, always will.

Oh Wow! I can not even begin to tell you how much you meant to me Kelly. I still wish I could see your smile and hear your laugh one more time. I hope you know how much you meant to both me and David. We have peace knowing that you died in the way you would have wanted to, but are saddened that you are no longer here with us. I love and miss you. Peace be with you always.

I knew Kelly, we went to basic together, then airborne school, then to RIP, and then we served together in HAAF with the 1/75 Ranger Battalion. He is the reason I made it through RIP, he pushed me and made me believe in myself. I am truly sorry for his loss. He was a great man, we had a lot of great times together. During airborne school Morris, Dehnert, Taheny, and I would sneak out to the Ranger Memorial and sit there. We talked about a lot of things, mostly war, at the time there wasn't one going on, but we all knew soon there would be. I cannot even begin to tell you how much he will be missed, but I know one thing, he loved his job and he was great at it. I will never forget you.

To Kelly's Family:
I knew Kelly in a way that most probably didn't get the chance. He was a roommate of mine through his first deployment in Iraq. I just wanted to pass my condolences to his family and friends that knew him. I wish I knew what else to say, but it's hard. I take solice in the fact that he died doing what he loved, and volunteered for. I know he's happy he died a hero, and in that I honor him...I salute a true American hero...Kelly Morris. Rest in peace my friend.

I came upon this page just looking on the internet to see if the world new that a yound man died for freedom. Its amazing to see what grief and saddnses makes a person do.Searching the internet to see if the world noticed. I knew Kelly for a very long time. I watched him play soldier, I knew he loved doing ROTC in school, andmost of all he loved his family and his animals. His family raised a squirrel since it was a baby, named it butthead, we used feed it together. We loved to watch scary movies, and play tricks on our brothers and sisters together. I sturggle to remember just so I won't forget, and sometimes I wonder if my grief and sorrow is selfish. I saw you at the viewing and remmember thinking it didn't look like you, so maybe they made a mistake, but then you turn around and see the funerla home and hear the tear falling. You looked so handsome in your uniform, so dignified and adult. In your short life you did great things, i admire your for that. When you wrere little you took care of Nikki, made sure she was ok, then you always looked after your sisters and even jarrod. Once you came under Kellys wing you were never forgooten. You died doing what you loved, you loved the army, and you were so good at it. You did ex epceptional things in your short time there.

I did know kelly. I grew up with the lowery family, the people who raised him. His younger sister has been my best friend for the past 10 years. I'm not sure what to say... I stummbled on to this while looking for articles about him.
Things are just kind of starting to get back to normal. the family has mostly gone home and people are starting to go back to work. We celebrated his life just how he would have wanted, and i know he was watching saying "damn i wish i was there for that!" his family is so so stong and were able to laugh just as much as they cryed. I miss him... people say that he was a hero... he was but hes my hero in a different way. hes the hero that would rescue us from the scary things in the basement and anyone who was picking on us, he was the hero that could swim accross an ocean for you if he had to. He was the most loyal person I've met and although i dont agree with the war.. he died doing what he loved most, being a soldier, i only wish he was here to see his purple heart and as he would have said " his really cool lookin scar."

Kelly -Before, the war seemed so far away.It was always someone elses friend,son or brother. You have brought it close to our hearts.I pray for all the soldiers that are there,and extra prayers for the ones who arent.I pray for my sister and her family who feel your loss so deeply. But they knew you would want to go out like you lived so now your loved ones celebrate you(and boy would you be proud).
Kelly you were a bright face to all who knew you, you are a Hero who will never be forgotten.

When I heard the news of Kelly it broke my heart. My son is also in Baghdad serving with the 3ID, 1-64, born in Nampa and raised in Boise, and also graduated from Mtn. Cove. The similarities are striking, not to mention we share a last name....
Words can not be spoken that will bring you back what you have lost. I pray for your family and for Kelly as I pray for my own son and all the soldiers and others in this conflict.
I pray that someday we will all be able to make sense and see some purpose for this tragedy. God Bless You!
