Paul Douglas Carron

I had the distinct honor of running with Major Paul Carrons's name on my running bib this past Saturday. The run was the Christopher Scherer Memorial "I Did the Grid" and run by Chris's parents to honor him and all those lost heroes. Please know Major Carron was in my thoughts as I ran and will never be forgotten-a grateful American/Jennyrose Corritore, Long Island NY.

My daughter,Lisa, was googling for my son's name, Paul Eugene Carron, and found this article about the family's loss of Major Paul D. Carron. My husband's name is Leo E. Carron. I don't know if we are related or not, but I wanted to let you know that we are praying for your family as you face this tragic loss of your husband and father. I can see that Paul was loved and respected by so many people.
May God bless you and your family and may He comfort you in this time of loss.

I am so sorry to hear of your family's loss. I know there are no words to say at this time except to let you know the thoughts of many are with you in this time of sorrow. May our Father give you comfort and peace in the years to come.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I know your family offered the same to me when I lost my brother, Pat Hurley, in the Persian Gulf. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Thank you Major Carron for protecting our freedom. Although we never met, your memory will live in me and the lives of all you protected. With each flag waving in the breeze and Star Spangled Banner played, a part of you will live within. My thoughts are with the Carron family.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Paul will never be forgotten.

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...

I met Paul while with the 82nd ABN back in 2000 when he was the Recon Platoon Leader for 2-325th AIR. I was fresh out of RGR School and assigned the role of Fire Support Officer for C/2-325 AIR when I was introduced to Paul by the platoon leaders in the rifle company...a couple of whom were West Point classmates of his. Even before I met him they told me that he was something special, and they were right. When I heard about his passing all I could think of was that big smile on his face, and...
