I have not forgotten about you. You may not remember me, but you were a great person. RIP

Six years seems like a lifetime ago. I will never forget how you hugged me when I took you to the airport in Indy to leave for training in California. The day you returned to see Rylie was also etched in my memory and what you said to Caryn when she handed you your son to hold. How proud you were of Rylie the night you cared him home from Grammy's, walking by yourself to be with him. I will always love you as my son.

Love, Chuck

All I want to say is Josh has not been forgotten and as long as...

I felt the same way and understood the conviction and contradiction in his heart. I wished it would have been possible to get to know Josh better because...

To the family and friends of Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Hines:
Please accept my remembrance of Joshua on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.
