Cody Eggleston

Cody, Seems like just yesterday we were together running those FAST missions 20 hours a day. After 17 years, I still remember seeing you, laying there, motionless, I hesitated raising the ramp on our striker thinking I needed to get to you. I can still taste the crunch of sand in my mouth after the rockets hit. I remember loading you and Pickard into the back of a Striker and you being rushed to the TMC. I think about you daily and speak of you often. You are missed. And I look forward to...

Cody is not forgotten here! https://iraqwarheroes.org/eggleston.htm Q

Hey Cody, you are still in our hearts and minds. Almost 14 years. Can´t believe it. We all still wear bracelets. We said your name on Sunday at church for the special Memorial Day service. Raegan is almost 20 now. You would be so proud of her. Getting ready to be a junior in college. Raegan is so special!! They called her to work today. She said nope. This is a special and difficult day for me. I will not work on this day. She will never forget you. You are the only dad she has ever known. We...

I never stop thinking of you, battle. I miss you is an understatement. Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind, Egghead. I'll never forget when you answered your phone while in the front leaning rest. We never got to go on our snowmobile adventure. Or our bear hunt. Haha. We must have looked at 100 different guns that day planning that trip. I miss you man. You're always in our hearts.

Love always,

Ryan

Thinking of you Cody... rest in peace

Memorial Day-the day the nation remembers our fallen. As your mother I still can't understand why "THE LORD" took you from me. You are my heart and soul, I will never be the same with out you. I love you and miss you every day.

I'm still here and I'm still telling my piece your story. Never forgotten. Love and change.

Ward,
Didn't know we had lost you until today. I noticed on my buddies Guest Book on here (Heath Pickard, who I went to Infantry school with) that your pic was up there, when I finally tracked it down and my fears were confirmed.. you were killed in the same blast.

I hope things are going good for you up there, sorry it took so long to write you. I'm here if you need somebody to talk to, just dont go haunting my house or nothing crazy.

Those Blue Cord guys always were the...

Lately you have been stuck in my mind... I'm sure that you are trying to tell me to stay strong and look at the positive side of things like you always did. Cody, I was one of your medics that day that you got injured, and some times I wake up thinking if there was something different that I could have done to have you here with us today. You will always be a here in my book and thank you for giving your life to save others. I am proud of your contribution to keep us safe and free. God Bless...
