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 have made a small donation to Wreaths Across America to honor and remember Anthony J. Schober US Army Sergeant. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Raising the flag

Last night I met PFC Scott Schober and it reminded me that I had not posted a brief entry describing a ceremony for his cousin, Sgt Anthony Schober.
In honor of Sgt Anthony Schroder and all of United States Military Veterans, we held a flag raising ceremony for Veteran's Day, on Friday, November 16, 2007. The ceremony was at my children's school and Sgt Schober's former school, Gold Ridge Elementary in Rohnert Park, CA. Sgt Schober's mohter and grandparents attended. A new US flag and a plaque honoring Sgt Schober were given to the family and the school. It was a somber ceremony, well received and a fitting tribute to a fallen hero. My thanks to our honor guard, Civil Air Patrol Squadron 157, Colonel (US Army Ret) Louis "Pete" Peterka, 1st Sgt (CNG Ret) Robert Smylie, and Sgt (US Army Ret) Grant Noah.
See the news report at this link.

PFC Scott Schober wishes to serve in Sgt Schroder's former unit and will begin Ranger training soon...
Thank you to the Schober family for your bravery, sacrifice and dedication to our country.

Missing and thinking of you this holiday Season.
August 15, 2007
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…they 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

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.

Schober i watched you come up in the army and become a damn fine soldier you will always be with those who knew you and dont be afraid soldiers dont die they relocate in a more secure location you will live forever brother.

I know that my words cannot heal your pain. I know this because I recently lost a brother in Iraq, Sgt. Justin Wisniewski (also stationed at Fort Drum) during his second tour in Iraq, and the only thing that would heal the pain is to have him alive and well again. Words cannot do that.
But know that I am forever indebted to Anthony, my brother, and all of the men and women who risk their lives so that we can enjoy freedom.
Justin always said that as long as he was over there fighting the terrorists, they would be too busy to come over here and we would be safe.
I will always grieve for my brother as you will grieve for Anthony. But know that they made a choice, knowing what the cost may be. For that, they are heroes. For that they deserve the respect of every American. For that, they will live on forever.
All gave some, some gave all.

"A light that burns twice as bright goes out long before it should..." I just want to thank the Schober family for the brave service that Anthony gave our country. I served with Anthony in Iraq (Apr 03-Apr 04). Going back to a place like that takes courage.I am honored to have been apart of this hero's life.

Schober, you are a true hero and my brother. Your ultimate sacrifice was the highest honor any man could ever give for his country. You served your men, the Polar Bears and your country with dignity and honor and your courage will not be forgotten. I thank you my brother, it was an honor to serve with you. God bless.

My husband, SSG Mathews was Schober's team leader at Fort Drum for four years. They did two tours together in Iraq. Anthony used to hang out at our house and play poker and video games. He was a great kid. Our prayers are with the Schober family, his friends, and his fellow soldiers. He will be missed dearly. God Bless
