Ross A. Pennanen

Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Ross A. Pennanen US Army Sergeant. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by...

Ross, it's been just over 10 years since I last saw you. I still remember our conversation at Sill just before we deployed. Though you were a "Gun Bunny" with 2/5 and I was MLRS with 2/18, I was glad we were both sent to 212th FA Brigade together. We had lots of good times at the Impact Zone. Making the trip to the cleaners just wasn't the same without you riding with me. Keep putting them arty rounds down range brother. See you on the other side.

9 years ago you gave your life for this great nation we live in. I send my deepest condolences to the family left behind. Although I only knew Ross for a short time,meetimg him in the MEPS in OKC and being his "battle buddy" in basic training. Me and Ross hit it off like 2 old friends., I account that to both of us being good ol country boys from OK. Lol. He holds a special place in my heart, thinking of you on this anniversary that you met our Lord and savior

Penn,
