Not sure what to say?

As a teacher at Valley View Elementary in Meno Falls,we were able to honor Sergeant Cornell as he made his way to the Gloria church. I remember seeing his parents honor signs at the end of their driveway. My students and I have been touched by Todd´s service. Today marks the 20th anniversary of his passing which I am hopeful that his family celebrates him with memories of love and laughter. Francis Fraundorf

I served with Todd, we went through Drill Sergeants school together, I can remember to this day his sense of humor and quick smile on those early morning PT days. Know that you are remembered and missed brother, sorry I wasn't with you on your last mission.

Its been along time and I still miss you my friend why did you have to be a hero you should still be here I hope to see you on the other side

It´s been many years but I still think of Todd often a wonderful person and friend a hero who is greatly loved and missed Anne

Miss you Todd, every day Wish you were not a hero! And here!

What can I say about Todd that has not already been said. Like so many others that knew him, his sacrifice has affected me these past 10 years. Because I carry his memorial in my wallet, I think of him daily. Every time I pay for something I realize that he paid the ultimate price for my freedom. He was the epitomy of what a professional soldier is; it wasn't until his passing that I learned he was a dedicated father, and friend and inspiration to so many people at home and abroad....

To Caitlyn and Jake, your Dad served proudly and made a Sacrifice for our country. He believed in Freedom for all. He is a HERO. We know he will always be in your heart and looking down upon you and watching you grow into adults. I am sure he is proud of you both. Your Dad is that ANGEL on your shoulder. Believe he is with you. My thoughts are not only with your Dad and his memory today but with you both today and many days.

Thinking of Todd these day of Christmas. His twinkling eyes and sense fo humor and his awesome caring. He surely lives in our hearts every day.

I was also in Todd's area of operations when he became a casualty. I was also an AST working in a different area at the time. My 1st SGT and I had to collect and inventory all of his personal effects, and I must tell you it was very painful. Could not help but see some of the letters he received from back home. I truly hope all the people of this great country appreciate the sacrifices soldiers make such as Todd made to keep this country free. May you rest in...
