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 month and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of John J. Young US Army Specialist.
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, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

John, just had to stop in and tell you that you have a wonderful mom. Since your death we've become friends and would have never met otherwise. God does bring us all around and you will never be forgotten. Your sister is doing well and so is your neice. Of course they're all getting ready for TAPS next weekend. You will always be with them. Tell my son Buck "hi" and you rest in peace.

My thoughts are with the family, friends and fellow soldiers of John Young this Christmas season. I wish each and every one of you a warm, safe and blessed Christmas and holiday season. Penny, I am so sorry that I was unable to spend a few minutes with you in Jesup...I am so very proud of you for being there for another family as they take their first step on the journey no servicemember's family ever wishes for. I love you and I'll never forget. What John did for his fellow soldiers...my brothers and sisters...is far too important to ever forget.

In Memory of John ~ (Debra Estep)

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 John, 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.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I know your pain, we lost our grandson 2004 in Iraq. He was 20 years old. Our boys are with God now, they know no pain nor sorrow. Some day we will reunit with them. I will pray for God to take away your pain and give you peace. Faith has carried me through this and it will you to.

The Soaring Eagle. This has been on my mind for a long time, thank you for sending John's guest book because now I can share the soaring eagle story with all that visit this site. During John burial, as the military band was playing "Taps" an eagle circled the tent under which rested John's remains, and as the last notes played the eagle ever so slowly began to fly higher and higher. ever so slowly as if it was beckoning John to come up and to follow in its ascent towards heaven until it disappeared in the horizon at the same time the last notes were being played. That to me represented the affirmation that in his short life John was able to offer the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy freedom. Today is not only Good Friday but my birthday;thanks to John and many in our armed forces we can enjoy the freedom to... "laugh, celebrate and bask in the sun that is there for each and every one of us..." St Teresa of Avila. Let us never forget that. Thank you John; and Penny I think of you often.

Thank you for bringing this great young man into the world. He is one of this generations greatest Americans. No words can help you now but I hope that the knowledge of his being with Jesus and the Angels at this time waiting to greet you when the time comes for you to join him. I have served with many young men in the Army and I am proud to be a member of the same Army that John was a part of. He was a great American, one of the Hero's protecting all of us.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
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 Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and 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 none of us wanted to join, 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 as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

I truly regret not having the honor of knowing John as he grew into a kind and loving young man. My heart grieves for our entire family.
Thank you John, for giving the ultimate sacrifice to our country. Make a place for us in heaven, and we will meet again. A beautiful place with no pain, no hurt, no sorrow. Nothing but love.
My love to all -

Dear Marshall,
I have no words to put how much I feel with you and your family for the lost of your brother John. He was a person I never had the pleasure to meet in person but knew through your joyfull stories about your family.
All I can say is, when the memories of John that causes sorrow and grief comes up on you, be grateful for them and look at them with joy, as these are signs of how much John meant, still does and still lives on, through you.
My heart and thoughts are with you and your family.

How can we as a nation say Thank You for your child? As a mom of 4 daughters I truly thank you for everything your son did for me, my kids, and for this country. I know that me saying that I am sorry for your loss sounds petty. There is no way to describe a parents love for their child and I can not imagine the grief from the loss of one. I will pray for your healing and I will pray for John. Thank you for making this a safer place for my girls.

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.

May the memories of this patriotic, courageous and dedicated young man finalize his legacy and provide all of you with a perpetual sense of pride and comfort...his sacrifices for his country can never be diminished or dismissed...as all of you witnessed since his passing...
True heroes, like John and all the men and women in our voluntary militaries, rarely, if ever, receive the respect and accolades they deserve...
With him in my memory and as a tribute to him, I will continue to thank every individual one that I come into contact...
I am very sorry that I cannot be there to personally offer my support and condolences..
Please accept my deepest sympathy...you will be perpetually in my prayers...
