As a student at a prestigious New York high school, Jeffrey Lam distinguished himself in math and his second language: English. The son of immigrants from Hong Kong, he had grown up speaking Cantonese. But he wanted to move up in America, former teachers say. "He was a first-generation youngster, who was very intent on being upwardly mobile by educating himself," said Valerie Reidy, principal of the Bronx High School of Science. Lam, 22, of New York, died Nov. 8 when a bulldozer he was driving rolled into the Euphrates river. He had been working just outside of Fallujah in preparation for the U.S.-led assault on the city. After graduating from Pace University with a degree in information technology, Lam sought a career in the Marines and was based in New York. He deployed to Iraq in September, shortly after his wife gave birth to a baby daughter. "He was really patriotic and wanted to do something meaningful," said his brother, Anthony.

We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Lam Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May...

In Memory of Jeffrey ~ (Debra Estep)

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you...

To the family of Lance Cpl. Jeffrey Lam:
Jeffrey 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."
