Shawn Phillip Rankinen

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 holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Shawn P. Rankinen US Army Specialist.

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...

To the family and friends of Spc. Shawn P. Rankinen:
It has truly been my honor to sign Shawn's guest book these past few years. Unfortunately, due to complications from my Multiple Sclerosis, this may be the last message I'm able to write. Please forgive me and know that Shawn will always be remembered in my home.
With love and respect ~ Peggy

Always remembering Shawn. "Some gave all."

To the family of Spc. Shawn P. Rankinen:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

To the family and friends of Spc. Shawn P. Rankinen:
Please accept my remembrance of Shawn on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I am sorry I lost touch with you buddy. You always made me laugh. I won't forget the time we spent at HC-8. You made the time more bearable. Look down from heaven and know we remember you.

Shawn worked with us for about a year or so and was an absolute stand up guy! 3 years later we are still remembering Shawn. We will never forget!...... Andy Shea Linn Valley, K.S.
