Captain Joshua Michael McClimans

This is PFC Poling Rest easy. He was a great capt. And a great nurse too our battle field. He had a big heart and a loving soul. He was like a second father to me.

I was there that day at FOB Salerno.

To the family and friends of Capt. Joshua M. McClimans:
Joshua 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."

Josh cared for my husband after his stoke in the fall of 2009. He was the only medical person to give any hope of a decent recovery for my husband. The neurologist said he couldn't offer any hope. Hope is what Josh gave me and I then pushed my husband and he made a great recovery. Josh showed he really cared about his patients every day. Josh would tell me in the morning "Terry didn't like those boots so I did this" He improvised often to make Terry comfortable. He went that extra mile...

I am so sorry for you loss. Thank you for sharing your wonderful son, husband, and father,s talents through his service to others and to our country.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I...

A new star has been added to the celestial ceiling of our world. May we look up at night and recognize the brightest one and remember why it is there and for whom it was created.

War is the very last thing a Service Person really want but, they are the ones willing to sit on the Head of the Spear for those of us at home. Wars have different names but the structure is always the same... we Veterans do understand.

God Bless Capt. Joshua McClimans and may he bring some...

I had the distinct pleasure of serving with Captain Joshua Mcclimans at Salerno Hospital. What an honor and priviledge to have served with such an outstanding soldier, nurse and above all father. I feel honored to have met and shared time with such an outstanding person. We have lost a great treasure in Joshua and will carry him forever in our hearts and minds. May God bless his family and loved ones. May you all find solace in your fondest memories of Joshua.

Amanda, Emma & Max,
May God be with you during this most difficult time. It was evident how much Josh adored each of you. Truly a role model Dad and from what I hear an outstanding nurse. May he always look down from heaven to watch over you all. God bless you and thank you Josh for all you did for this country.
