The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.
While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more
To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one thing they truly deserve.
The loved one's that they have left behind,
The Gold Star mothers, like your and mine
We honor them proudly, every day
Our American Soldier...Proud and Brave
By Shannon Williams-Austill
I want to thank this soldier for their sacrifice.
And, I wish to extend my deepest regards to the loved ones they have left behind. Their service to our nation, has not gone unnoticed. They are our heroes, who paid the ultimate price for us, and that is something that every American needs to be reminded of and remember everyday.
The freedom we all have, we have because of brave young men and women who made a choice to defend and serve.
Today, let me remember your loved one with you.

Hey buddy I saw a picture of you few weeks ago when we were kids... thought i'd might look you up on the internet and see how you were doing. Turns out i'm too late. I'll do my best to see if I have anything to give your family to remember you by. I remember when we were in cub scouts - we made newspaper boats and put them in the creek to watch them float. I didn't believe it at first that you enlisted, but then I remembered how serious you were when you would salute the flag every morning in school. I'll keep you in my thoughts

I want to thank everyone for the love they have shown myself and my family. I do have a need to put out there, if anyone has video of my son, if you would be so kind as to let me make a copy of it. I didn't get a video camera until after his 2 wk leave and then it was too late to get any of him. I need to see and hear my son. It would be great to get some of him having fun and laughing and some of him doing his everyday stuff. Please feel free to get a hold of me by any method that is easiest for you. My cell is (405)317-3801, home phone is to come after ordering it tomorrow, and my address is 12861 S.W. 208 Blanchard OK 73010. I have a email address but I don't check it as often, it is [email protected] Thank everyone for their entries, they have helped the family heal and it is wonderful to see and hear all the love so many have for him. Again if any one has any video that I could copy it would mean more to me than you could even imagine.

Hey buddy hows it going? Its been a while, so i wanted to stop by and say hey. We sure do miss you around here man. I cant believe that its already been 13 months. It seems like just yesterday, we were sitting around the COP bored and acting like fools to pass the time. You always knew how to make everyone laugh, and we all miss that around here. But your memory is still with us, and we still love you. Cant wait to see you again some day when all this is said and done. Take care. See you soon.
Love you buddy,

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Jerimiah, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

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!!

My son and I attended the services today for Jerimiah. Everything was wonderful, lifting Jerimiah's name and reputation very well.
Jerimiah was a wonderful person and I appreciated the care and respect that he showed me as a student of Dibble Schools. Today, I was once again proud to be from Dibble and so glad that to be part of the Dibble School faculty. We do have amazing students!
God Bless each of you. Amanda, he did go out in style! You and your family did a wonderful job at such a difficult time.
I will continue to pray for your family. Thank you for your son and the time he spent with us.

My prayers go to the Veitch Family. Your son was a true hero. Its very difficult for me to find the words to tell you how truly sorry I am for your loss. My nephew SPC Justin Verdeja was also in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team. He died June 5, 2007. He was 20 years old. Our family is also going through a great deal of pain. Your son was brave, and a hero. He will live in our hearts forever, and he will be remembered with honors. I know my nephew knew Jerimiah, and although our families never met, and we may never meet, your son will have a place in our hearts. God bless Jerimiah for his bravery, and Bless you for having such a wonderful son.

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.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jerimiah while he was in Colo. Springs. He was a wonderful caring soul. While I only talked to him a couple of times it was very evident how much he cared for others and his country. I would just like to say thank you Jerimiah, You truely are a HERO! Never to be forgotten!

As his aunt, It's so heart warming to read the comments made by people who never knew him and people that did. Let us never forget the sacrifice each and every soldier makes for us and for the complete strangers in other countries. Jerimiah will be greatly missed.

To Jerimiah's family and friends--
Jerimiah had a lieutenant named Ross Stadsklev, who was injured in December. I work with Ross' parents, and have been coordinating care packages for Ross' troops still in Iraq for the past few months. I hope Jerimiah was able to get some comfort from our care packages and from our support. I am so so very sorry and I will continue to pray for Jerimiah and the rest of the troop. It sounds like he was both an amazing young man and an amazing soldier.

To the family of Jerimiah, my grief for the loss of you son is felt. I know what it's like to loose your child in war as my son was killed in action too. It feels that your heart has been ripped from you and you don't understand why this happened to your child. I've felt all you will feel in the coming days and weeks and though I’m not close in relation to area, but I am very close by email. I offer any support to you and your family that I can. It's with the Grace of God that I've gotten through each day and with His healing love and comfort that I've been able to once again sleep at night and not cry each day. Believe me I do know how hard it is. May God continue to heal you and your family and contact me when and if you are ever ready, even if it's to vent or cry.

As a friend of your cousin Shane, I always heard what a wonderful of a guy Jerimiah was, and how much he loved his family.. Just remember, HE only takes the best, HE needed another angel to watch over all of us down here. Be strong, and remember to smile every time you think of him.

Thank you so much Jerimiah for your service and eventual sacrifice for all of us in this great country. Jesus said there is no greater love than a man to lay down his life for another. I am forever grateful for the true heroes such as yourself.

Please know how Deeply Sorry I am, for the loss of Pfc. Jerimiah J. Veitch. As a parent, who has lost a daughter suddenly and having lost a brother to war...I am aware of the deep and devastating pain that you are experiencing.
The overwhelming heartache, seems to surface through our shock, as the time passes.
Please hang on to your Faith and know that you will get through this.
May the memories of your Brave Young Soldier, remain in your heart always and give you strength through the difficult days ahead, and may Jerimiah Rest Safely now, in the Loving Care of God and know that he Will Never Be Forgotten.
I pray that the Peace of God will be with the Veitch family.
I am the sister, of such a young Hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee."
~ Psalm 55:22 ~
I sincerely hope that you can feel the thoughts of caring and support that surround you today and in the days ahead, as this Grateful Country Mourns with you, for Someone Very Precious to you, Who Is A Hero to all of us.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To The Sanchez/Veitch Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Words don't come easy when you try to say how you feel to some one you never met but yet have the highest of honor for. We all may never understand why but God has his own perfect timing for things and God was there to walk your family member in the gates of heaven , and God will also be there to comfort each and every one of you. This young man along with the others that have gave up thier life for us to be free will always be our heros and will always be thought of. I pray that God watch over all of you during this time and bless and guide you as time goes on. You will be in our prayers. God Bless All of our service people that fight for what they believe in and God Bless The United States of America.
