Staff Sgt. Courtney Hollinsworth

Missing you. Today and every day, brother. I appreciate the lessons you taught me. Both about being a man and being a soldier. See you around, my friend.

Son as the anniversary of your death approaches, September 9th. I once again am reminded of that dreadful day, although it started off as peaceful. I remember the sunlight, I remember the warmth that showed through the two small glass windows on the door. I remember the sound, although completely silent, and then, that sound became chaotic and unrecognizable. I am also reminded of your Heroic act, your courage and your selfless action in protecting us all. You will forever be twenty six,...

Another Memorial has come and gone. I attended the service that the City of Yonkers held and I must say this year hit different for me.

You are remembered not just on Memorial Day but everyday! Thank you for our freedom Sis you and the family are in my prayers always. Rest well in God's paradise my hero

Happy Memorial Day, Court! Your taste of music is still crap. I will never forget your ultimate sacrifice. Listening to the salute at our local service brought tears to my eyes. I am thankful for knowing you and appreciate your sacrifice. Rest in peace Court.

I was in delta battery 1/4 ADA and we stayed in the 4th floor of Bravo battery and I met Hollinsworth when I would hang out with the bravo guys on second floor. He introduced me to Hennessy and Redbull, always had a smile on his face and was a great soldier.

"Say their names. They will never be forgotten." Today is Memorial Day. But you are remembered everyday. Our hearts could not hold you here on Earth. Miss you always.

Happy celestial birthday my hero continue to Rip
