Although I never met Lt. Cmdr Morgan C. Tulang - I served with his Father Mike Tulang with the 3/4 Cavalry in Hawaii and Vietnam 1965 - 1966. But one time I was talking to Mike he told me that he was heading to Notre Dame University where his son was attending the University, he was so Proud of his son and he told me that. To all of the Tulang family we are so very sorry for your loss of Morgan. God Bless All of you. You are all in my families prayers. Leon Jung who also served in Hawaii with us, sent me a notice of this WEB site.

I worked with Morgan when he was here in Japan and will always remember his quiet friendly personality. Hard to imagine that 12 years have gone by.

This is real late, but LCDR Morgan Tulang was a great friend, a stand up man who will be sorely missed. Humble, smart, honest to a fault and helpful, he was guy I can always count on when I served alongside him on the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3). I wish his family the best.

To the family of Lt. Cmdr. Morgan C. Tulang:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

To the Tulang Family,
My prayers are with you. I am a former shipmate of Morgan's. I am also a "local boy" from Kauai. Morgan and I were stationed on USS BELLEAU WOOD (LHA 3) in Sasebo, Japan. There were 3 of us "local boys" (Morg, Rick Takahashi, and myself) that would hang out and "talk pidgeon". That was our release and our connection to home. Morgan had a great sense of humor. I remember a road trip to Iwakuni - we got lost. I remember playing a joke on Morgan by calling his office late at night pretending to be a Marine Corps Officer, Major Payne, asking why his pay was messed up. He didn't know it was Rick and I.
Morgan was a great man, a great Sailor, an outstanding Officer, and a very good friend. We miss him.
Again, my blessings to you.
Much aloha,
Bernard Quibilan

The Summer issue of the Notre Dame Magazine finally made its way to me a couple weeks ago; I was both shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Morgan’s passing. Like others on this site, we were midshipmen together at Notre Dame. Our times here in Kuwait did not overlap, but I am currently mobilized to the same base where Morgan was stationed: Camp Arifjan. Julie, you already know this, but your husband was a good man and a true patriot. My prayers and deepest sympathies to you and your children.

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!!

I found out today of Morgan's passing while reading this month's issue of The Navy Supply Corps Foundation's "Oakleaf" newsletter. My husband and I were fellow Midshipmen and classmates of Morgan's at the University of Notre Dame. I never saw Morgan again after that, but I remember him well and am deeply saddened by the shocking news. My prayers are with Morgan's wife, their two babies, and the rest of the Tulang family. As a mother who lost a baby very recently, I know very well what you are all going through. I wish you peace. God Bless you, Morgan, and thank you for serving our country.

I write with deep sorrow and my sincerest condolences to the family of Morgan Tulang. I had the great honor of attending Notre Dame with Morgan as a fellow Navy ROTC midshipman. I lost touch with Morgan too long ago, but I often thought of him, his kind spirit, and wonderful family whom I met during our graduation in 1992. I am deeply, deeply saddened by his passing and offer to the family my prayers. I also convey, on behalf of his fellow shipmates, our gratitude for his selfless service to God, Country and Notre Dame.
If there is ever anything any of you need, do not hesitate to call.

It is with deep sadness that I am forced to honor the memory of another fallen Warrior. I ask the family and friends of Lt. Cmdr. Morgan Tulang to accept the offer of my most sincere and heart felt condolences. I hope that you know that your loss is shared by a grateful American. Most of whom you have not met and in all probability will never meet. Our nation sincerely appreciates the sacrifices of your patriot.
Freedom is not free; it is paid for by our heroes!
I know the pain parents feel when they loose a child. I lost a son 19 years ago. It is a pain that defies description. It is a pain that never goes away. It is a pain that will never end. It is a pain that is all consuming. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
May God Bless and keep you today, tomorrow and forever!
Rest in Peace Shipmate; you did your duty with great honor, distinction and in the highest Naval tradition.

I offer my deepest condolences to Morgan's family. I had the pleasure of serving with Morgan in student government at Notre Dame and living in the same residence hall (Zahm Hall). Morgan chose to lead with his actions instead of his words, and that's what I most admired about him. The Notre Dame community feels a profound sense of loss in Morgan's absence.

This is in sympathy to the Tulang family. While I did not know young Mike, I know he exemplified his father Mike. I served with Mike in the 25th Inf. Div, 3/4 Cav at Schofield Barracks 1963-1966.

Please know what we care very much about how you feel right now. Your family has a long and important feeling for Morgan, and will find it hard to see him as an officer or a military person. You love him as you know him. We honor that because we miss our son Benjamin C. Schuster who was KIA in Ramadi Iraq on Feb. 25th , 2006. There are so many people who have given all they have for this war. May you find all the meaning you need to make this as Morgan would like, and may you accept all the love that we would like to give.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
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.

Father we entrust our brother Morgan to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Morgan in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.
