Good time at Maxwell School, Syracuse Univ, so much fun you brought to the whole class.

Remembering your service and sacrifice today.

On a flight from ATL to CA for work, I looked into the beautiful sky, the colors of the sun, and I thought of you, Atti and Bobo. I'm thankful you all were in my life and you'll always be in my heart. Rest in peace my love ~ Angali

I still think of you and your smiling face all the time!

Even though you were older than me ( I was in the same grade as your little brother Pete, in Aviano, Italy), I remember you as a fun, happy, good fella! Rest in peace, and Thank You for making our Country a safe place.

Henry, as I'm sitting here in Kabul, I was thinking about you today, brother. Thinking about me, you, Hank Askins, Brian Smith, and Ellie Perrazoli in command in the 8th Finance in Germany working for Denny Fields, and the good times we had as detachment commanders. Bro, you used to get so fired up at Fields...it was so funny, but it was because you were so passionate, man. We were so young back then...but we were ready to take on the world, full of spit and vinegar. And like everyone else says, you WERE always laughing and smiling, and full of fun. From the bottom of the heart, I miss you, Bro.

I just came across a picture of you at my sister's house. She is in heaven with you now. We miss our friend.

I think that is the one thing about you sir that everyone remembers so much was your beautiful smile and loved seeing it everytime we saw you!! Miss you very much, but it's good knowing we have you as our special angel!!

You would have been 42 yrs old today my love. You are now our angel all around us. You are always close...never forgotten..cherished forever! ~ Angali

Sure do miss you, sir. You were always smiling.

I miss you always. Can't forget your get together when we were cracking jokes me u and fred.

Hank,

You are not forgotten by your Wolfpack brothers and sisters. I still fondly remember the good times at Fort Riley training up for our ETT. You remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Heard your name read at a Veterans Day ceremony yesterday, Henry. You're not forgotten.

To the family and friends of Maj. Henry Ofeciar:
Please accept my remembrance of Henry on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Four years today, Henry. You are missed.

Hank was a dear freind and fellow embedded trainer. We spent many a night in eastern Afghanistan talking politics and current events. I miss our conversations buddy! You're in my thoughts and prayers every day.

It has been over 3 years and it is still hard to know that you are not here. I still have emails from you that I cannot delete.

To the family and friends of Hank .
It was my great pleasure and honor to have know to have worked with him and to have counted him one of my friends. Please know that he will always be in our prayers.

...I miss your smile...I miss your belly laugh...I miss your sparkling eyes and mischievious ways~ I miss your love..till we meet again

I still can't believe you are gone! It still doesn't seem real! We miss your smile and we miss you dearly!

Chuck and Lea Ann Pelfrey

You were a great man. We miss you Henry!

STill in our hearts

We just learned of MAJ Ofeciar's passing. To his family and friends we offer our belated but very heart felt sorrow and prayers.

LT Ofeciar was my husband's Platoon Leader in D Co 4-12 IN, Baumholder, Germany (1995-1996). They deployed to Bosnia in Jan 1996. I remember Henry insisting on meeting at the PX on his R & R to share some of his stories and pictures with me. He was so excited to finally get them developed! His million dollar smile,laugh and giving nature will always be my favorite memories. Oh, and the time he was "volunteered" to be the OIC of the Company Christmas party as a single LT. Every time I would ask if he needed any help I got a big smile, a wink and "it's under control." That was one of the best Company parties ever!!

Rest in peace Henry.

Sharon and I miss you a lot. It seems like yesterday that you and I were chatting about your upcoming deployment on my porch in Bethesda, MD. Little Henry(almost 3) is quite a character and I wish you could have known him.

I met Maj Ofeciar when he came through Bagram Airbase to attend the funeral of his aunt. Although our interaction was short and brief he left a lasting impression on me. One that I will never forget. To his family, I am truly sorry for your loss and I am truly HONORED to have met such a great person.

hi this is Mohammad Mansoor Qayoomi from Kabul Afghanistan And i was His Transalatore In Kunar Province of Afghanistan and the only thing which i describe about him was that he was a great and legend man if any one know his familly please pass my regard to them and tell them that i really love him same like my friend

Henry, I miss you brother. Kaelyn, who referred to you as "nino" while in FT Benning, (you were a 2LT) is now a mother. You were and always will be a part of the Guzman family. You are truly missed. We love you.

I still can't believe that you are gone! I cannot make myself get rid of your e-mail address. I remember when you e-mailed me while you were deployed asking for pencils for the children. You were always such a very caring, sweet young man! You are truly missed.

Still on my mind!!!

I'll never forget you, I promised!

Hank/Sir,

Every day I think of you and your truck crew on that day. When we got the word, I just had prayers for those who were out there. Then we received the word your crew was hit and who may be lost. It could have been any of us, but this day it was your ticket.

I want to say more, but you and your crew are in my prayers. You and your crew are Shipmates and Friends! You are missed!

I just learned that my infantry and finance officer buddy, Maj Ofeciar was killed over 2 years ago. Henry and I were classmates in most of our Army Officer training and over time became very good friends. He even traveled over 8 hours to attend my MBA graduation ceremony in NC and returned to his duty station the same day - what a FRIEND! To that end, he and I had plans to professionally collaborate after his retirement. Henry, I miss you. God Speed and God Bless your wife and Family.

You're missed more than you'll ever know. It takes a life time to find a friend like you. I'm still looking but fear that no one will ever come close to the friend that you were. You live in my heart.

To the family of Maj. Henry Ofeciar:
Henry gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

OOORAAHH Soldier!!

Henry,
We miss you, more than you know. The time we were fortunate enough to be close to you will always be cherished. I have so many memories of you,from saluting you to all of our crazy theme parties that I will never forget and most importantly for being there to listen when I needed an ear. Thank you for making me laugh when you made fun of my long toes, for trying to take a picture when I was sick at the park and for many, many more memories that will always stay with me. Thank you for everything you did and for making all of our lives a little richer, we love you and miss you. I will never forget you, will always think of you and will always wish you were still here. See you in a better place...

I am so sorry to hear of Hank's death. My sympathies to all of his family.
I will not forget him, and I wish that I would have had the opportunity to get to know him better.
Peace be with you, my friend.

Major O was Captain O back when I first met him. He was my Boss, as I liked to call him and I had the honor of serving as his driver during my time at Ft. Carson, Co. He was my first and only true commanding officer, in my mind and in my heart no other officer could ever fill his shoes. I loved him like the older brother I never had but always wanted. He inspired me in so many ways, he taught me so much about life and about being a soldier. He taught me to never settle for second best and challenged me everyday of my military career to be the best. For that I will always be indebted to him. He was a true friend and when we worked together we were the dynamic duo. When you died Boss a part of me died with you. I think of you every day that goes by, and I try to live my life the way I always did at Ft. Carson, to make you proud. You will always be my hero. See you when I see you Boss!

We love our Soldiers! We love our country and we cannot express enough love and compassion to the families at this time. This is a Nonprofit Organization to honor are Soldiers!

I met Henry at Ft. Riley while we were both training up for the mission in Afghanistan. In country I was able to have dinner with him a couple of times at Camp Phoenix. I heard of his death while I was serving in southern Afghanistan. I will not forget him or the other friends who gave the last full measure of devoted service. As it has been said by veterans of previous wars, the heroes are those that did not come back. His family are in my prayers. Thank You Henry for your service to our country.
