Dustin Scott Wakeman

I didn't know him long, but I'll never forget him. I miss him greatly..

It is approching the anniversary and even though I never knew SGT Wakeman personally, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember having to deliver that horrible news to SGT Wakeman's parents. My pain can not compare to yours, but that was the toughest day of my life. He is a hero. I gained comfort looking at his wall and reading everyone's fond memories of SGT Wakeman. Margaret, David and Zack, I wish you peace and I know Dustin is looking down on you.

To the Family of Sgt. Dustin Wakeman,
I am not sure why we have not touched base with you sooner, but today I was looking at Dustin's photo on a quilt that is being carried across the country by a man named Tiger Patrick and Dustin's photo was next to our son Matthew, who was also killed on the same day. Tomorrow will be the boys Angelversary as we call it and I wanted you to know we are thinking of you all. Thank you for your son's service to our country and for his sacrifice. May you all...

I know it's been a couple of years, but... Veterans Day just came, and I thought about Dustin. I stumbled upon a copy of the article written about him in the Star Telegram that I'd saved, and thought I'd see if this was still here.

It's still pretty impossible to believe that this happened. Dustin was an amazing guy. He was one of my best friends in high school, and I deeply regret that we fell out of touch after. He meant a lot to me, despite that. We would spend hours on the...
