My heartfelt prayers to the loved ones of Sergeant Burnside. When you miss him the most simply look up to the sky at night. He will be the brightest shining star shining down on you.

It's so very difficult to put such a terrible loss into words. We learned so many more amazing things about Ray on Sunday, as we were lucky enough to be there for the Military Graveside Service and Memorial. Thinking of you everyday. We love you so much.

Raymond Burnside, a grateful and sorrowful farewell from one of millions that you went to hell and back for. Your bravery and courage on your deployments is recognized. Your deep-set pain from war is unimaginable, though I've seen it too often from my dad in WWll, friends in Vietnam, Desert Storm, and now the children of friends and relatives returning from Afghanistan...some not. My heartfelt condolencses to your family, friends and comrades. You will never be forgotten.
