Cari Anne Gasiewicz

21 years have passed since you left us. Your mom and I talk to you every day. Your in our hearts forever.

I was at the MI Museum on Ft. Huachuca for my students' graduation and saw this in the screens. There is also a street named after her here. When her photo comes up I enjoy telling people nearby about her. My memorial tattoo with her name may be fading, but she is always in my thoughts. She was a good friend and I am thankful I get to tell our stories to future generations of soldiers.

To Cari and her parents, I am currently in the 202D MI BN and work in Gasiewicz Hall on FT Gordon. Every day, I walk past the plaque with her name on it and her pictures on the wall. Today, the Battalion did a workout to honor her memory and sacrifice. I figured I'd share as you shared her with us. I am sorry for your loss.

It's been a long time and just getting over the sad events of the past. I remember telling Cari I would see her in Kuwait as she left on her convoy and I left on mine. It was one last mission for both of us before heading home. I was devistated when I returned to base and found out about her convoy being hit. She was a great soldier and like a sister. Always there when needed. I know she is in the hearts of all those that had the honor of knowing her and serving with her. Thank you Cari for...

Dear Cari, from what I gathered from my researches we have ancestry in common from Molise region of Italy. I am so sorry for what happened to you. I think about you and all my love to your family.

Yesterday another year has passed which now adds up to 20 years since your mother and I have last seen you. We really miss you a lot and think about you every day. Sometimes we think you are watching over us because funny things happen to us around the house, and we yell out Cari is that you playing with us. We know you and your pal Sabre are in a good spot. We love both of you and again miss you very much.
