Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Gray Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of James Brandon Gray US Army Sergeant First Class.
We also place a flag in his honor each year on Memorial Day Weekend at our "Field of Flags" event, held under the Verrezano Bridge, next to Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn and at each location where we conduct this memorial. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign

SFC Gray,
You were an outstanding person. I remembered when I first arrived in Hawaii and you teased me for being pregnant. But, it was never a day that you always got on Kris Anderson about something. And, you will truly missed. My heart goes out to your family. May you rest now.

Jay G. will definitely be missed. I am so greatful to have had the chance to meet him and his family. I am really appreciative that he accepted me into his bike club(DBMC)knowing that I did not know how to ride a motorcycle.

SFC Gray,
You were an outstanding Squad Leader when I was your Platoon Sergeant. You had a drive that know will ever be able to touch! I was elated to pin your E-6 on you at Fort Myers and so proud when you made E-7. May God continue to bless your family and I will continue to pray for all of our healing. You will be missed my friend!
