You're never forgotten Brother. S/F

I miss you, Scott. You were a good friend and I was lucky to have met you. Semper Fi brother.

AMERICAN HERO

I still remember you, old friend. You are missed.

Rest in Peace, Scott. You are not forgotten.

Still miss you, Scott!

Still not forgotten. Thinking of you Barb.

Rest In Peace, Scott

I didn't know Scott but I like so many have experienced loss. Your son paid the ultimate price, gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. I want you to know that he will never be forgotten. May the Lord still comfort your heart and give you strength daily to carry on. God Bless and thank you.

Scott,
Happy Belated Birthday in Heaven. May God hold you in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Still miss you, Flying Dog. Always will.

I just wanted to say that I lived with Scott for a couple months in the barracks while he worked temporarily as a Military Policeman with me. Still thinking of you Scott and Klancy. Miss you brother. Semper Fi!

To the family of Lance Cpl. Scott A. Zubowski:
Scott 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."

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 Scott, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. 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.

Father we entrust our brother Scott 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 Scott in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

I read about Lance Cpl Zubowski on a geocaching website. Though I did not know him, I want to thank you for sharing him with our country. He is a true hero. I grieve for all the families who have lost their loved ones. The pain is unbearable. I know, I lost my cousin in Afghanistan. I hope to be able to make it to Scott's gravesite to pay my respects some day.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we thank god everyday for brave men & women like your soldier for defending our country. We are building a wall in honor of all those who have lost their lives in Iraq & Afghanistan from Indiana. It's called Wall of Heroes. If you would like more information please contact me at [email protected].

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Lance Cpl Zubowski!

Rick,
I think of Scott often. I will never forget the great sacrifice Scott, you and your family have made.
Thank you
Rex

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!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Lance Cpl Zubowski and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I just viewed Zubowski's moving tribute and the last picture really touched me because my brother has paid the ultimate sacrifice too. Thank you Lance Cpl. Zubowski for your service to our country.

I had never met Lance Cpl. Zubowski, but he was an important part of the life of one of my friends. We are into an activity called geocaching, and this friend of my produced a cache listing page that is a tribute to Scott's life and the hole his death left behind. When I saw the cache listing for the first time, I was swelled with emotion.

I came looking for the geocache that he placed nearby, making it an important milestone. Afterward, I visited Scott's gravesite (this was in December 2005, shortly after his tragic passing). A layer of snow had covered the gravesite, marked only by a temporary headstone and a wreath of flowers. I remember clearly the swarm of emotions that being there produced, and to this day I swell up at the loss of this fine young man and the friends and family that remain.

To this day, I look back on this experience with a sense of honour. I had never really thought much about the causalties that occur in battle, but Scott's fate changed that in me. I thank him for being willing to put himself in the way of danger, and his ultimate sacrifice, in order to keep the flames of what is good in humankind lit.

I remember when he would write on his hand the number of days till he would go to the Marines. He truly was what a Marine was. He was dedicated till the end and made the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you Scott for your service

“Paid in Full”
To Honor The Service of Fallen and Injured Marines


Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full

We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward

What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give it all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our hearts we will cherish your lives

Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the Few, the Proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us

They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of the lives that were lost for people unknown

Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

Barbara and Family,
I wanted to let you know that I thought of you and prayed for you on 11-12. It seems impossible that Scott has been helping Lance guard the gates of heaven for a year now. I think of you and Daniel each day and pray God will continue to hold you close. I will never forget your Fallen Hero!

I am very sorry for your loss

Klancey & family,
Just to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you cross this first anniversary of Scott's ultimate sacrifice. He will never be forgotten by his brother Marines and their families. We continue to pray for God to give you fortitude.

Remembering this Fine Young Marine, Lance Cpl. Scott A. Zubowski, on the first anniversary of the day he gave his life for our Country, with a Multitude of Thanks for his Courage, Service and Dedication to our Country and for Freedom.
May Scott rest in God's Loving Care and know that he will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
May God's Grace and Comfort, continue to be with the Zubowski family.
From the sister of a Fallen young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam. KIA~1967.

Hoping you continue to feel the thoughts of caring and support that surround you each day, as this Country remembers someone very precious to you, who is a Hero to all of us.
I am deeply sorry for your loss.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. STAY STRONG AND GODSPEED. SEMPER FI



A MARINE MOM

Dear Barb,



We want to thank you for writing a condolence to us when we lost our son, Spc Matthew C.Frantz on January 20, 2006. It also has taken me this long to read many of the condolences that we received. Our sons are HEROS! Our sons did what they did so the rest of us could live in this free land! What you wrote to me is something that I will always remember.

To Klancey and the Zubowski family, Months have gone by and you remain in our thoughts and prayers. Our son John was with Scott and still grieves over the loss of such a hero. We will continue to keep you all in our hearts.

As a fellow countryman and combat marine veteran(Vietnam) thank you Scott for such a great sacrifice. It will never be in vain.Without knowing you I can say I love you.To your family I say thank you giving us your son. My prayers go out to you for peace and comfort.

My heart goes out to your entire family. My husband just returned home from Afghanistan a month ago after a 7 month tour... Our son was 10 days old when he left. I cannot imagine him not coming home to me, so I cannot even begin to understand the pain and hurt you are feeling. Please know that there are so many of us who appreciate Scott's service and sacrifice. His death really hits home for me since my husband is also a Marine and since Scott was from the same area as me. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

To the Family of Lance Cpl. Scoatt A. Zubowski:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young man who gave his life so selflessly. We lost our son 12/1/05.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all 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, 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. They will never be forgotten, never able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your memories will sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away. God Bless this courageous soldier and his family.

Rest in peace at your last post in paradise.

It was an honor to serve with you brother. Keep the gates safe for us up there and we'll see you soon.

Lance Cpl. Zubowski,



Oorah!



Thank you so much for fighting for my freedom. I've never thought of, or had, hero's in my life. But I do now. What would this country be like, if it were not for countrymen like you? You make me proud to be an American. I've lost one of your brother-in-arms, my nephew, Lance M. Thompson in Ramadi. I grieve for you and your family. "To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die" (Thomas Campbell). You will never, ever be forgotten. Earth hath no sorry, that Heaven cannot heal.



My sister and I met your mother. Such a dear lady. We grieve with her, over your loss.

To Scott's family and friends-

My family and I are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We send our deepest empathy as we lost our Marine on 11/30/05 in Fallujah. We are comforted to know that our Marines are serving their country with such honor and bravery. We are so proud of our Marines and all of our other service men and women for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us safe and to give us the freedom we have that so many take for granted.

They are true Heroes and need to always be remembered for their selflessness and sacrifice to better our world. We will forever be united in the loss of our heros. We are so sorry for your loss and hope our words will ease some of the pain, and maybe fill some of your emptiness.
