Many years have passed since this fine young American gave her life in the cause of freedom. I watched a video of Jennifer's mother saying that she hoped she would not be forgotten and I would like to assure her that the opposite is true. Jennifer is remembered more for the life she led, the courage and care she exhibited, especially in the Lioness programme than the manner of her passing. The words written by her comrades speak volumes about this remarkable young woman and even those of us who only came to know of her afterwards have gained an understanding of who she was and what she would have accomplished had she been granted more years. Peaceful days and better memories to her family and her community.

I came across your name today and did not realize that it has been 8 years. I remember all of your young faces in Okinawa. I was shaken when we got the news, you were the first Marine that I knew personally that succumbed to war. I cried for you then and now. Rest easy Marine, and bask in the glory of God who I know has taken you into his arms.

Dearest family & friends. Though words could never do proper justice, we would like to let you know that we are in awe of the unimaginably brave and selfless Jennifer Parcell.

I'm writing on behalf of the DVCHC Women's Ice Hockey league -- we would very much like to honor Jennifer's memory by dedicating our 2012 Women's Championship in her name. The playoff weekend in Hagerstown, MD, is a family-friendly event that features 10 university teams and over 225 female athletes.

We'd like to share more with the family and get their blessing before taking further steps, please contact us at your convenience.

We realize this offering is infinitesimal in comparison to what Jennifer deserves, but we hope by doing this small part we can help shine a light on her courage and do our best to say thank you.

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your daughter’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

Hi Jennifer. I don't know you and I never met you. I wished I did. To leave your love ones at 20 years old is pretty rough. I wish I could bring you back, and your love don't have to suffer anymore and when they cry, it's not out of suffering but happiness. Thank you for putting your life on the line for all of us. I love you

Dear family of Jennifer Parcell. I want to thank all Americans for the freedom you have provided for us. I am a 26 yr. old Iraqi woman, and because of you, I am able to vote, live in peace, and raise a family happily. 6 Months ago, my husband and I had a baby boy we named Yusef. In the future, if we have a daughter we will call her Jennifer.My only regret is that your Jennifer and other Americans had to die to secure our freedom. We will not take our freedom for granted. We know it didn't come easily. Thank you again, Lolanei Musharev

Dear Cpl. Parcell
I seen your Memorial today on TV and although we didn't know each other personally, I seen "Gunny Rob" during one of the interviews. He was my squad leaer during my first tour in Iraq back in 2003. He was a Sgt at the time and now I'm guessing he was your Company Gunny. I'm writing to you today to say "I'm Sorry"... I'm sorry that, I never got to share your fate, I'll never forgive myself for making it home while Heros like you never did. The world is empty without you and this world is better off without me. So tell God you have a Sgt willing to take your place, and if he asks why? Tell him becuase that's what he was put on this earth to do...

"We've been fighting this War for so long, that it seems like the War is never going to end..
But when we do finally win this War, I'm going to drive a Humvee all the way up to Heaven..
and bring you home again.."

My name is SFC James Bodensteiner and I worked in the same airport in Iraq where Jennifer did. She was like a little sister to me and she will be missed not only by her friends and family but by the world for how she lived her life. My condolences to her family and I leave you with the thoughts that she died serving her country but most importantly she died serving with her fellow Marines and to me that was more important. I will never be able to forget her not because she died but because I knew her when she lived.

Happy Birthday Jennifer
