Not sure what to say?

Mark still makes me stronger after all these years! The world misses the special kind of person Mark was. He inspired people to always give 100%.

Keep guarding the gates Mark!

Happy 43rd birthday Dad! It is absolutely crazy how much time as gone by without you here. We're working on our 10th year on you being gone. I'm almost 20 years old, and the boys are coming up right behind me. Nick will be 17 this year! Brett will be 11. There are so many people besides us that miss you everyday. It's so heart warming to read all the kind words people are still saying about you. I'm so glad that you are truly not forgotten. I love you so much. Please continue to watch over...

I forgot that this was even here... You've missed so much, we've all grown up so much. I know you saw me walk across the stage at graduation... I think about you all the time

Sir you will always be missed and never forgotten.

To the best Lieutenant, Marine, and man I have ever known. May your family be blessed and know that they are forever in my thoughts. I miss you Lt. G. If I earn my right to meet you again, I know that I will be in the greatest of company. Thank you Sir for all that you have given me. You made the world a better place and still continue to do so. - Sgt Jonathan Wood, 3rd Platoon, Delta Company, 2nd LAR Battalion, 2DMARDIV

I just wanted to say I was with Rosie that day 7 years ago. I haven't had to opportunity to ever tell his family what Rosie meant to me. Rosie was the kindest, most gentle, compassionate man I have ever known. I have thought about him every single day for 7 years. I miss him so very much. I hope that one day I can meet everyone who loves him to tell them how proud they should be of the man that they raised. My eternal gratitude is yours. I will forever be in your debt. I miss you man....

As we approach 7 years of you being gone, nothing has changed. I miss you everyday, and not a day goes by that you are not thought about by me. We will never ever forget you. We love you, Mark.
