Sergeant First Class Clifford E. Beattie

I found your obituary SFC, you were one of my DS at Ft Leonard Wood in April of 2008. Drill SGT Carpenter called me in 2011 to let me know what happened. You have never been forgotten. Until Valhalla

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 holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Clifford E. Beattie US Army Sergeant 1st Class.

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...

Yesterday I ran in the "I Did The Grid" memorial race for a local fallen hero. I ran with Clifford's name and 3 others on my bib as a tribute to them and all who have served. He will forever be in my prayers and his service to me and our nation will not be forgotten.

It's been seven years since I last saw Cliff. We were DS's together in Ft. Leonard. It seems just like yesterday we were hanging out on the front steps of the company talking about life and joking about privates. I will never forget the times we spent as battle buddies. I will never forget you SFC Clifford "Blue Eyed" Beattie. God bless you and I will see again.

SFC Jackson, Terry (DS)

I served with Cliff as his assistant gunner in Ft. Drum 94-97. Just recently heard of his death. He will be sadly missed. One of the best guys I have ever known. Love you like a brother Cliff.

Drill Sergeant (SFC)Bettie.....remembering you on this Memorial day, 2014....God bless you and your family.
