Cpl. Robert D. "Bobby" Roberts

As the months and yrs have passed like 20ish, and we have returned to life's adventures . You and your family are always in my thoughts. Always sending hugs and blessings their way. Of course you know this already, I talk to you often. I Miss your presence my life, miss knowing that you are out there doing your thing, raising and loving your family. Growing into the best man you could become. Knowing that you were out there to pop in and say hi and grab a hug and catch up. It was a truly a...

Some things in your life and some people come back in your memories when you get older. I was the Army Casualty Assistance Officer assigned to help young Jill Roberts wade through the bureaucracies of Army policies and paperwork now almost 20 years ago. I was there also to comfort her and make sure she had someone to turn to. I spoke at Bobby's funeral. I never met Bobby, but I knew exactly who he was and the things he experienced.

You will be deeply missed everyday. We will treasure all our memories of you forever. Your strong, brave, and honored by all. we love you Bobby.

To the family and friends of Cpl. Robert D. Roberts:
Please accept my remembrance of Robert on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I carried his body into the Aid Station and laid him on a gurney, gently and with the utmost of respect as I am a former Cav Scout myself. I then went back to my building on BIAP and cried. I still do today....
