Not sure what to say?

I will never forget you. Love, Tracy

I just saw a gray van on the 60 freeway that listed Sgt. Smith's name. I'm always compelled to look up our service men's and women's names when I see a memorial on a vehicle. While I did not know this young man, nor his family, I just want to sincerely thank you for his service and the sacrifice you as his family and he made for our country.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Every day I think about how much I think about how a friend sgt smith was to me and how he helped me when I first got into the marines he has always been there for me. When it happen i took his passing hard but I think about the good and crazy times we had that puts a smile on my face. To the family he was a hell of a good marine and he was a great friend and teacher I will always remember the days working with him in twenyninepalms California on the tank ramp. I miss you smitty

My dearest Ben,
As I sit here in Iraq, not far from where you were, I now know what it truly feels like to WANT to be here. I have always been proud of you and always will, but now I have a better understanding of the why. I have had too much loss in my life, but rejoice in knowing that you were there with the Lord waiting for Avery when I had to let her go. I love you, Ben. Always and Forever XOXO

To my Tank Commander and friend,
It has been many years brother. I am ordering my 2nd memorial bracelet tonight, as the last one wore out. I have had to add to my memorial tattoo over the years too. We keep going over there, and well, those guys, you help them out now as you did me when I was a boot back then. The bumper sticker your mom gave me was on my truck I totaled last year, and I need to find a place here that makes them so I can get one for my car. Just wanted to touch base...
