Not sure what to say?

Adam buddy, I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I miss you I miss the fun we use to have in our makeshift Jim in Iraq!! I love you man! And to your beautiful wife Jamie I'm so sorry it's been a long time since this has happened! I never got to speak with you in person or on the phone but I remember how skiskis face would light up when he would call you! You must have been a wonderful person semper fi

CPL McKiski,
I never knew who you were. I do know that you were my Marine. I was there the night of the accident that claimed your life. I was the Corpsman who tried to save your life and send you home to your family. I failed my mission and for that I am sorry. I think of you often and wish that I could have known you. It has been five years, but sometimes it feels like yesterday. I was in that water with you. My apologies to your family.
May you guard the streets of Heaven...

Another year has has made its mark.

I will Never Forget.

Cpl. Adam T. McKiski, Here we are another Memorial Day. A day to remember and give thanks for you and those like you who have signed on the dotted line to risk everything to serve our country.

Thank you can not begin to show our heart felt gratitude for your service, yet it is all we have.

I remember every moment of your service, from the first time I heard your name to when I rode away.

I can only offer what I have which is my word. Me and mine will Never Forget you,...

4 years.. still doesn't seem real.. RIP Adam <3

In MOS School Adam was the Marine I went to when I had a problem. It never failed. He was some one who as a fellow 2131 I looked up to. I remember seeing him in the fleet for the first time, and it was in Fallujah. I was with Clb-8 and he was with Clb-1. He was our replacement for duty. I was so excited to see my old friend. He pulled me aside one day and asked for my advice on things and how it was going over there. I told him every thing has been okay. it wasn't too bad. we had mortars and...

To the family and friends of Cpl. Adam T. McKiski:
Please accept my remembrance of Adam on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

Today, August 21, 2010, I walked a mile for Adam. The event was called "Run for the fallen" for all of Illinois, and I was privileged to get his name. A flag was planted in the turf around the track and a bell rung to acknowledge Adam's service to our country. He is not forgotten and tho I have never met Adam, I am proud to know him. Thank you Adam. God bless you all, his family and friends.

Doesn't feel as though you've been gone 2 years already. All the memories I have of you are never going to fade. I miss you so much!
