We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families. War does not discriminate – It breaks my heart to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to you. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,400 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
Contact us directly at [email protected] or go to www.heropaintings.com. If you have already had a portrait completed, we pray that you are enjoying the portrait and God Bless You.
Sincerely,

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever
Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away
Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go
We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light
Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray
Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

I am so sorry for the Shipps' family and friends loss of Darrell.
He was a brave American Hero, I never met him, but I know him through my son who is and was his friend, they were together in Iraq. Darrell did what he knew was right for our country, he knew what a dangerous job he had and never complained, "because someone had to do it". He is not on earth any longer, however when his family and friends go to Heaven he will be the first one to greet you and say Ha Ha, I beat you here

My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Darrell you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace

LIFE IS ETERNAL
I'm standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads it's white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. This ship is an object of beauty and strength and I stand watching until at length it hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There! He's gone."
Gone? Gone where? Gone from my sight that's all. This ship is just as large in mast and hull and spar as when it left my side and just as able to bear the load of living freight to the place of destination. It's diminished size is in me, not in the ship and just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There! He's gone", there are other eyes watching the ship's arrival and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "There he comes!"
May this hero be remembered and may the memories be sweet and loving. He will remain a treasured son and brother in the hearts of his dear family.
My thoughts and prayers are sent to those who will no longer see his smile or hear his voice and who will miss him each and every day.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I pray that the personal and public outpouring of support lends some comfort as we share the pain of your loss with you. Although Darrell is now gone, he will never be forgotten. This country can never repay Darrell or you his family for the ultimate sacrifice that he has committed for this country. I pray that you draw comfort from knowing where he is now, for he is in a far better place than ever before. May God bless and keep you all. Rest in peace, Darrell.

My family is deeply sadden by the loss of your son Darrell. My son, Trey, was in the humvee with Darrell when the explosive was detonated. We had the pleasure of meeting Darrell and family at a picnic at Fort Hood just before they were deployed to Iraq. What an excellent, mature and courteous young man he was, with a true sense of direction for his life. My family will always carry Darrell in our hearts and remember the ultimate sacrifice of life he gave so others could live. Darrell is a true American "HERO"! Our thoughts and prayers remain with each of you. May God Bless!

To the Family of Pfc. Darrell W. Shipp:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.
