Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Bill Cahir US Marine Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones we cry out loud due to the pain in our hearts. Our tears are not unnotice by our Heavenly Father. Although your pain will not easily disappear, it is good to know that Almighty God is near to those who are broken in heart and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.

Dear Cahirs,
My sincere sympathy on the loss of your son, brother, husband and father. The Cahir family has had too much sorrow recently. I was happy when Mary Ann told me you have two wonderful little babies to love. This will be a difficult Christmas but may the New Year bring each of you joy and peace and good health.

To Renee and Bill's family,
As the sister of a fallen soldier my deepest sympathies go to all of you, especially during this very difficult time of year. Our mutual friend Rebecca has told me wonderful things about Bill. I won't tell you things get easier or the hurt lessens, but my family and I have been able to find some peace in the years since Mike's death. My hope is that you all are able to do the same, in time.
Renee, my family and I would like to send you something. If you receive this message, I would greatly appreciate if you could send me your mailing address. My email address is [email protected]
In peace and love,

I went to college with Bill at PSU. I was a Theatre major and he was in my acting classes.
I am so saddened to learn of this; which I did on NPR this am.
I hadn't heard his name since college ; but his image came screaming back at me with his vibrant, funny, and talented self.
He was an awesome, AWESOME guy. What a horrific loss for us alland most painfully for his wife and their future little girls;who would have had such a fun time growing up with their silly and loving dad.
I am truly , deeply saddened this moring. Rest well, Bill...you were awesome and you did much to make our world better while you were here.
Thank you Bill!
Sincerely,

I'm sure that the words of Toby Keith's song "An American Soldier" is what Bill had in his heart every time he put his boots on.
Bill died so that we may live in peace. I hope his family knows how much we appreciate that. His soon to be new daughters will have a hero for a daddy and an angel in heaven to watch over them.
Thank you Bill for your ultimate sacrifice.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strongman stumbled;
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
Whose face is marred by sweat and blood;who strives valiantly;who at the best knows in the end triumphs of high achievement;
and who at the worst , if he fails,at least fails while daring greatly;
so that his place will never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither defeat nor victory."
Sgt. Bill Cahir epitomizes the true meaning of American patriotism; I salute you sir.

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 am sure everyone is proud of him and of his sacrifices he made for our country. My son is a true soldier also - his active duty after 3 years in the Army ended on 911. But he enlisted in the TX Army Reserves and has been activated many times since then, he is still in the reserves and like Sgt. Cahir he is very proud to serve. It takes courage, dedication and a passion for the love of our country. God Bless Sgt. Cahir's loved ones and God Bless America!
