JOSHUA JAMES ROGERS

As a mother of two service men myself, I was so deeply moved and honored to be aboard the flight from Atlanta to Houston that carried SSG Rogers home. I can't begin to explain the emotion I experienced knowing I was present on his final flight home to his own mother.

Josh will be missed greatly..he was a great friend and hero to me and many others. RIP brother.

Today we lay to rest a Son, Brother, Friend and Hero. Its not an easy day for most, but we need to remember that a funeral isnt a goodbye for forever..its just a til we meet again, a celebration of the life that was. Josh left as his legacy an enduring spirit of happiness and pride. He left us all with memories to make us smile..a Hero not only to our community but our nation as a whole and to the numerous lives he saved that we will never know.I pray you find peace in knowing the many lives...

Mr & Mrs Rogers & Family,
Our son Ross is a fellow scout with Josh,our thoughts and prayers go out to you all. May God be with you during this time.

I was in the same company with Rogers when he was with 1-23inf. battalion. I didn't know him personally but it was quiet clear throughout the company that he was a hell of a soldier. He'll be missed dearly.

The sky was crowded and gray The Chaplain was ready to pray The clouds parted, out came the sun A town came to honor its native son On behalf of a grateful nation, that folded flag This soldier came home, in a black plastic bag The sounds of Taps echoed thru out the hills Gunfire, a soldier's salute, gave me the chills... Young soldiers fight and die, so we can be free
Young soldiers fight and die, so we can be free He died for his country; he died for you and me From Bunker Hill, to...
