Wow I did not realize that this was still available. You are so missed. I spoke at Lindenwold Park for Memorial Day, and it was really hard this year not to break down. The city council presented me with a beautiful quilt encased in a frame. It was just beautiful. I love you baby boy. Hold down the heavenly fort until I get there. Love you. Mom

Hey Ant, It's been a real long time. Im sorry, I havent been checking in on your family and making sure that everyone is ok. I really miss you. The things we used to get into... I joined that gym behind your parents house and everytime I walk in I think of the million times we would go in there and climb their rock wall over and over again. Angie and I are engaged and getting married on 11/11/11. I know you'll be there in spirit giving your blessing but I would give anything to have you standing next to me as I make this commitment. I miss you and will see you soon, also my cousin is going to afghanistan for his 5th tour and I wanted to ask if you could please look over him. I will be a better friend and make sure everyone is doing ok.. Miss you!! God Bless

THROUGH MY TEARS EVEN NOW, I THINK ABOUT YOUR GREAT SMILE. THAT SMILE THAT JUST LET YOU WRAP ME AROUND YOUR FINGERS, BUT IT WAS ALL GOOD. YOU TURNED OUT TO BE SUCH A FINE YOUNG MAN. I JUST MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH TODAY. I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE BETTER TOMORROW. I WON'T SAY SEE YOU SOON, BECAUSE I STILL HAVE WORK TO DO FOR THE LORD. SO I WILL JUST SAY, SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE.

Another one of your brothers has joined you. I signed his guest book today. I know just how his mother feels. Look out for him while he is up there. His name is Jamal. He is 24, and you would have been 26 this year. So just look out for each other. I will try to reach out to his mom so that we can get through this together.
Love you so very much. Mom

To the Dixon family-
Hold on to what is good,
even if it's a handful of earth.
Hold on to what you believe,
Even if it's a tree that stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do,
Even if it's a long way from here.
Hold on to your life,
Even if it's easier to let go.
Hold on to my hand,
Even if I've gone away from you.

War does not discriminate – It breaks our hearts to see the faces of the fallen. We want to give this gift to you. We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization! Over 1,750 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!
Mothers of our heroes, please be aware that the Project Compassion sponsors will now help cover the costs of the portraits for you to have one - regardless if the spouse of the hero has one or not!

Today we had a fundraiser at your center. It was a great success. So many
people turned out to show their support. We did a mini christening of Kyley. We introduced Anthony again, and we had a great time. You were the only one missing. Your big brother carried the show as usual. Kim was there with the girls, Mary was there with her family. Ashley and
Christina wanted to come, but were not
able. We all miss you very much. Thank
you for making the US a safer place to live.

I feel like a part of me has died along with you.I feel so left out and alone now that you're gone.I will never ever forget you you truly understood me for who I am without saying a thing...Don't want to say much more,I'll never be the same again.... Miss you always and forever

I wish that you could have been here to meet all of your nieces and nephews that have been born since you left us, I know that you are smiling on them daily. To my mom and dad I also want to say that I love you both sooooo much and I am very sad that I am unable to take away all of the hurt in both of your hearts. Joe we know that you are in a much, much better place and I will live my life right so I can see you up in heaven one day. Lots of hugs and kisses your big sis Kim.

Today marks 4 lonely years of being without you. I thank God that He keeps me in my right mind. There continues to be such a great pain in my heart. You are really missed. I know that you are in a much better place, but that does not erase the hurt. One day we will meet again. Guess what? Your Dad plans to go to your gravesite today. He said he wants to go. I will believe it when he actually takes us there. This is his first time. He said with a smile"Joes not there". I agree, you are not there because you are in heaven and in my heart. I am so proud of you, and miss you so very much. As
we would say, when the wind blows its Joe. Hold down the golden streets until we meet. I know you love me, but I love you more.
Missing you,

In Memory of Anthony ~ (Debra Estep)
August 1, 2008
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 Anthony, 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.

It is 2:37am, and I just finished talking to Christina. She was saying
how much she misses you, wow is that an understatement. There is not
a day that goes by that I don't think of something special about you. The funny thing is that you have a nephew Gerald who looks, and acts just like you. I pray that he will not
adopt all of your crazy habits. We are so proud of you. Your name sake
just had a birthday Rhyin-Anthony. Your other name sake turned 1 in May(Anthony, Allison's baby)
Ft. Dix is planning to name a street after you in September. My you are just all over the place. You will never be forgotten. The AJDixon Resource Center is going good. We
are having the annual fundraiser in a couple of weeks. People are coming from all over to participate because you are such a great guy, and they just want to see the center succeed.
Again, I am so proud to be your mom. Next Friday this time it will be 4 years. It almost seems like yesterday. I feel myself getting anxious again because I am snacking a lot. It's all good because I feel good about me. Take care baby boy.
I will see you in heaven when the good Lord sees fit. Hold down the pearly gates until the get there.
Always in my heart,

Yesterday marked 3 years. It almost
seems like it just happened. I thank God that He has allowed me to gracefully deal with the pain in my heart. I finally dedicated The Anthony Joseph Dixon Center in your honor on yesterday. That made me feel so good. There were a lot of people there to rejoice with me. One very special person was Sgt. Basely. He really misses you.
Well Anthony keep on praising God until I get there to praise him too.

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 Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

I was just looking at the 120ft. tower that you climbed when you were a teenager. I was amazed that you would do that and not be afraid. Oh well, that was the kind of guy you were. Well you are in the word, for God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. It is because of Him that my mind continues to be sound. I do miss you so very much. I think of you every day. I see young men and say that could have been Joe. I go to places, and see different things, and just think of you doing that. You were such a joy. My heart will always have a special place for you.
Love,
Mom

In loving memories of the little worsome and lovable boy name Joseph Dixon on the back seat of the little church known as The Windows of Heaven where the blessing never ended and the love was over flowing.
Who knew that so soon you would be looking down from the Windows of Heaven. While you are watching and waiting for the others to join you & since you are with him ask God to bless your mom as never before continue to watch over her and protect her from all hurt, harm and danger and to replace her pain with the joy of knowing you are with him.
Love you so very much.
From the ursher that didn't want to be.

What a mighty soldier God made of Joseph; I proudly remember and appreciate his sacrifice first to the Kingdom of God and to the United States of America. I thank God for him and his obedience to the call of God on his life.

Hey baby brother, I really, really miss you and not a day goes by that I dont think about you and wish you were here. You have another niece to add to your smiles, Kenadie, she never met you but I'm sure you know her. I know that you are in a better place but that doesnt make the pain any easier. Hugs and kisses from your big sis Kim. Loving you much Joe.

My God. Dixon I can't believe you arent with us. I just found out another guy we went to basic with that was in our platoon died- Bradfield. I was with him at Carson and I just found out. Now you. Dixon you were a good friend to me . Hamm is was with me over here in Iraq for his first time but he got wounded. I know he was a friend of yours and I'm sure you were looking over him. I hope you are looking over all the men we went through training with. I cant believe you are gone. When I was at recruiting school in 2005 I ran into a SSG who was Crawfords section leader. Its a small world. You are a true American Hero, Dixon. This day Febuary 5, 2007 I mourn your loss. I have some pictures of us in basic training. Maybe when I get back from Iraq this time I can send them to your family. We love you, Dixon.
