Psalm 23: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death , I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Joshua, I pray that you are in a place that is full of love, light, happiness, and laughter. A few days ago, I met 2 optimistic young men, with grand plans for their futures. Though complete strangers they asked me what my best advice to them would be. I told them "To believe in yourself". They reminded me of you. I know you believed in...

A field of crosses Marks the silent resting place Of the brave who served. By Kelly Roper Dear Joshua, I am thinking of you on this very hot August day, much like the one in 2007, when we received the news that you were gone. It was surreal, yet I remember it like it was yesterday. How I hope and pray that you are in a wonderful eternal after-life, more joyous than we can even imagine. You will always be missed and remembered.

From Laurence Binyon's 1914 poem "For the Fallen" They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. (9-12) They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. (13-16)

It has now been 15 years. I pray that the angels in heaven are keeping you in an eternal paradise. You are often in my thoughts and always in my heart.

Hey there Tucker medic!! It’s been a long time. My last name has changed since 2005, back then you called me KP. We were in the same platoon and had a lot of fun and laughs together when we were finally able to have some freedom.

We had a day where our drill sergeants started passing out duty assignments and those of us going overseas were in some sort of lottery. Who would get Hawaii? Germany? Korea? You got your orders, Crombie got his, Grey got his and I got mine. It could have...

I often think of that hot August day when we learned the news. You were only 20, at that time 10 years was half of the life you had lived, now it has been 14 years. It's a deep sadness right to the core that all of us have had to learn to live with. Joshua, we miss you.

Why we post online is a mystery. Hope you know how much I wish life had unfolded differently for you. 12 years later and still takes my breath away that you are gone. God be with you, Joshua. Eternal happiness -you deserve!

9 years. I think of you often and have wondered if maybe you send me subtle messages from time to time . So many words left unspoken. I hope you understand.
