Sgt. David Self

TOUJOURS PRET!

I served in the same company as Ssg self during his last tour. The CO needed his best NCO to rip with the incoming company one last time and he was always ready. Toujours pret! I am always thankful for having served with an NCO of his caliber. He is always held in my thoughts. God speed Ssg self, and thank you.

My name is Edie Self and, while I did not know your David Self, I did know another war hero named David A. Self, Jr. who was my Father-in-law. I know he would want me to tell you how proud we are of you, David, how much you will be missed here on earth, but most of all, how much we honor, respect, and love you for protecting us with your every action and your very life. I know my Dad-in-law Dave is up there, with you now, and shaking your hand. We 'Selfs' will never forget you.

I served with Self from 2001 - 2003 at FT. Lewis, WA & 2005 - 2007 at FT. Hood, TX. During our time in TX, I'd the privilege of being his roommate and riding with him in his "big" red Dodge truck. Dave was also my best man at my first marriage while I was stationed at FT. Lewis, WA. Dave will always be missed as a friend and a his soldier in my heart. I just wish Dave had of taking my advice and got out and did something else than Army. Either way, Dave enjoyed being a12B (Combat...

I loved him... he was my best friend in the world growing up. I was devastated when he moved to Mississippi, away from me and Las Vegas... that was the last time I'd see him, although we would talk on the phone every now and then. I love you brother.. why didn't we ever actually work on getting together for a good night of drinking instead of always talking about it???????????????????//

i am in nurseing home and we support all heros....He will be always a HERO

David was a good friend and one of the best Non commissioned officers I have known in my military career. I served with him in Afghanistan and would go thru any war with him if he was still with us today. David will always be in our prayers and in our memories as a soldier, a nco, and a great friend. Its been almost two years and I still shed tears for the loss of a great friend and a brother in arms.

I know its been almost 2 years and I haven't got on here to tell you but I will miss you and so will the rest of the troop. You were a great NCO and we won't for get that every time we talk about you its hard not to bring a tear I guess that's why it took so long. I miss and love you brother. To his family I'm sorry for your loss I know he is doing better now.

To the family of Staff Sgt. David D. Self:
David gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."
