Fort Smith, Arkansas
Dustin Fisher fell in love while stationed at Fort Stewart and got married just before leaving for Iraq. He couldn't wait for a two-week leave in June to see his new bride, Alicia. When he brought her to Arkansas to meet his family, Fisher's father could see a change. "It was obvious he was a man, and I think his family has to credit her for that," Waldo Fisher said. Dustin Fisher, 22, of Fort Smith, Ark., was killed May 24 when an explosive detonated near his vehicle in Baghdad. Fisher loved to drive around town in the pink Chevrolet S-10 pickup that his dad got him for his 16th birthday. "He used that S-10 to get his girlfriends," said his mother, Brenda. "He was just a very tender-hearted person," she said, adding that he was a "man's man" who loved to hang around with the guys. The 2001 high school graduate tried college for a year, but it wasn't for him. He had planned to re-enlist in the Army, but after getting married he was considering becoming a firefighter instead. "He had his whole life planned and now it's no more to be," his mother said.
To the family and friends of Spc. Dustin C. Fisher:
It has truly been my honor to sign Dustin's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Dustin will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Thank you, Dustin Fisher, for your courage and your sacrifice. You are, and will remain forever, a true American Hero. May God grant your family the "peace that surpasseth understanding" as they struggle on in the days, months and years without you. God bless

I never had the pleasure of meeting Dustin but my son was a friend to his older brother and they played basketball together (after hours at Cedarville High School). He told me what a great kid Dustin was. He has talked to you, Brenda, at the National Cemetery but did not tell you who he was. My brother is buried close to Dustin and I never visit his grave that I don't stop by Dustin's resting place. My heart goes out to you in your grief. I only pray that as time passes God will lessen...
