Camp Liberty Shooting Victims Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 11, 2009.
BAGHDAD (AP) - A U.S. soldier opened fire at a counseling center on a U.S. base Monday, killing five fellow soldiers before being taken into custody, the U.S. command and Pentagon officials said.

The shooting occurred at Camp Liberty, a sprawling U.S. base on the western edge of Baghdad near the city's international airport and adjacent to another facility where President Barack Obama visited last month.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs called the shooting a "terrible tragedy" and said Obama planned to meet with Defense Secretary Gates later in the day to discuss the matter. Gibbs said the president's heart goes out to the victims' families and wants to know what happened.

A brief U.S. statement said the soldier "suspected of being involved with the shooting" was in custody but gave no further details. A senior military official in Washington said three others were wounded, but the U.S. military in Baghdad said nobody else was hurt.

In Washington, Pentagon officials said the shooting happened at a stress clinic, where troops can go for help with the stresses of combat or personal issues. It was unclear whether those killed were workers at the clinic or were there for counseling. No details were released about the gunman or what might have provoked the shooting.

"Anytime we lose one of our own, it affects us all," U.S. military spokesman Col. John Robinson said in Baghdad. "Our hearts go out to the families and friends of all the service members involved in this terrible tragedy."

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

To the family's of the lost victims,

I am so sad to hear what happened. The pain, the grief, and the feelings of losing a loved one can be unbearable. At these times, we need comforting words to uplift us. My two favorite scriptures are Ecclesiastes 9:11 which states, "time and unforeseen occurrences befall us all." My second favorite scriptures is Isaiah 25: 8&9,"He will swallow up death forever..." I hope these two scriptures will bring you comfort just like they brought me comfort.

Agape' love

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.

To the family of the victims I send my thoughts and hopes of endurance and encouragement. It's never easy to bury a loved one and especially not under these circumstances. I encouage you all to find comfort in the holy writings that speak of a time coming soon when war will be no more and death will no longer be. May you find comfort in the hope of those times soon to come. The holy writings say they will beat their swords into plowshears. I look forward to that time and I know you do too..

BLEEDING HEARTS

Because of illness and tragic events
Families are forced to say goodbye
Talking, Tears and Time
Are the keys to help those left to cry.

Life changes for many when a life ends
It’s not easy at that time to stay sane
In your loved ones’ hearts and minds is where
Throughout their lifetime you will remain.

You will be remembered and loved —
The love stays and grows more intense
Memories of the heart are forever
Right now nothing may make any sense.

When death grows close for those left behind
What comfort to know there will be
A loved one waiting at Heaven’s door
Embracing them to God’s Spiritual Family.
—Joanne Wheeler

They will live in your hearts and minds throughout your lifetimes because the love stays and memories of the heart are forever.

Thank you to all men and women who serve and their families.

With my deepest condolences. . . .

This is very sad. OUR soldiers are constantly put under so much stress. WAR is hard on all involved. My husband was deployed to Iraq twice and stayed at Camp Liberty and Victory and in Balad, and Mosul. This was the toughest time I ever had to endure in my entire life.
The emotional roller coaster ride of a life time. Thank the Lord we made it through together.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear families of these five heroes,

God IS at work here…and I’ve incredible faith in the “PLAN”…but that doesn’t displace the grief…nor should it. You must grieve…allow yourself the sadness and all that attends that! As a vet and a “Friends of EB” Troop Supporter, I keep all our troops in harm’s way, in daily prayer; I’ve used the following in the past as a grief enabler, and offer it, along with my sincerest ongoing prayers for your entire families. May God Bless and keep you all close during this truly sad time. And know we all appreciate the gift that is these fine, young heroes…and its cost!!! Contact [email protected] and I’d be happy to forward this entry formatted for saving.

When my mother died, even after a years-long battle with cancer, I was shattered by the loss…inconsolable…she was my mentor! I like to think that I got my character from my father, but my mind and its capacity from m’dear sainted mother!!! BUT, "If your faith assures you she's in heaven, then what are the tears all about?!?" I hold eternity with My God dearly close...a cherished and hard-won prize...but, in the interim, that answer lies below.

SELFISH TEARS
(I EULOGIZE MY BELOVED MOTHER - MARCH, 1989)

Today we cry...must admit they're selfish tears.
You see...our faith assures your journey's done.
But it's not for you we mourn, at all, my dear;
It's for those of us you've left behind...alone!!!

We share your joy...share your happiness at rest,
Your painful fears now for forever stilled.
You've fought the good fight, passed the final test,
But you've left behind a hole that can't be filled!!!

So, until we each rejoin you some someday,
And, while your memory buoys us through those years,
We'll miss you...but continue on our way,
And, from time to time, we'll cry our selfish tears!!!

After reading each of the preceding entries, there is nothing I can say but echo those before me. "Thank you for your service and sacrifice" does not begin to cover the gratitude we feel for the freedom we enjoy in this country due to our brave soldiers. May God comfort you all at this time of great loss.
