Obituary

Family members say Sgt. Joshua S. Ladd wanted to be a soldier since he was a boy. "He always wanted to be in the military and shoot big guns," said his cousin, Debbie Chisolm. Ladd, 20, of Fort Gibson, Miss., was killed May 1 outside Mosul when a rocket-propelled grenade hit his vehicle. He was a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard. Ladd volunteered for service soon after his unit was mobilized last year.

Not sure what to say?

Morning old friend,
I have stayed away from yours and others pages though the years, I guess in a way still thinking that you are all still here. I woke up this morning to a phone call that another dear friend has passed, and all I can think about is you. I think about you every day, and ask myself is there anything we could have done different. I know that God has his own plan, but I still wonder. I will see you one day Josh, and we will catch up on what I have missed.

Well what can I say, i still remember that day as if it were yesterday. I was the truck commander inside of that vehicle that day and all I can say is that I wish there was more that I could have done. To Josh, you were a greaat mentor as well as a great friend. I know that you are in heaven speading that great spirit of love and that God is pleased with you.
