Jason Denfrund

Cannot believe we are going on 17 years in a few weeks. Your son must be so big. Never got to meet you personally but your sacrifice affected my family sincerely. My children father served with you. Everyone was heartbroken. You are remembered this Christmas, again. And again. Rest in peace Jason.

I walked passed your stone today (Memorial Day) in Highland Park. We never met, but we went to the same high school where you graduated a few years before me. We both ran track, we both served with the 10th Mnt Div around the same period. I came home, you did not.
May your memory and spirit live on through your family and friends.
Rest brother. We'll carry your load.

Thinking of you, as I do, every Christmas Day.
You were a friend of my brother and served along side him. You had his back and that means a lot to me.
I could never thank you enough for your sacrifice.

Armed Forces Day and Memorial Day are part of this month. Jason and the Denfrund family continue to be respectfully remembered in our hearts.

Now it is the 10th year anniversary of OIF. He will always be the face of the War for me. The young man I met at Dry Hill Ski Area with his new snowboard, his army buddy, and the wrong socks. Jason chose to make the North Country his home. He will always be one of ours. I visited his boots at the moving memorial when it was in Grant Park in Chicago a few years ago. Never forget. Always remember. We owe that to him. Blessings to his family and friends.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Jason C. Denfrund:
Always remembering Jason. "Some gave all."
