Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Kane

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the Kane 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 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...

To the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Joseph M. Kane:
Please accept my remembrance of Joseph on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I wish that things didn't happen the way they did, but they do and we cannot change fate. You were a good friend and always someone I could turn to. Glad I was there with you even though it was for a short while, thank you for everything, and for your wife taking care of our wives back at home. Miss ya bro...

This weekend I celebrate a hero I was lucky enough to know... think of you often.

Its been so long it seems forever. I should have wrote this so long ago, I remember sgt kane, i just had arrived in korea, and didnt know anything he was one of the first ones to welcome me to the fold.

Different companies but even when we redeployed we all laughed he used to make a joke i had a wood bracelet, he sked me if it had termites. I remembered...

Father we entrust our brother Joseph to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Joseph in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

I was eighteen when I was assigned to Sgt. Kane's squad. Camp Howze korea, Assault and obsicle platoon. We were a tight nit group, we all worked ourselves to the bone and Sgt. Kane would keep us going with his hillarious sense of humor and his work ethic. Sgt. Kane was not afraid to get dirty and he would break his back taking care of his squad. He taught me everything I know about tanks, he also made every day in Korea tolerable, as it can be very trying. I think about him every day, I...
