Sgt. 1st Class Nathan L. Winder

Nathan L. Winder Obituary

Nathan L. Winder was with his unit at an Iraqi hospital when they spotted a girl with a gash on her face. She had apparently been refused care. For privacy, some soldiers surrounded the girl while Winder used his skills as a medic to stitch up the wound on her cheek. Winder gave her a stuffed toy when he was done. Someone had a camera outside the hospital, and the resulting picture of that impromptu operation now remains as an example of how Winder''s parents define their son. "He loved kids," said his father, Tom Winder. "He always had something for the kids." Winder, 32, of Blanding, Utah, died June 26 in Diwaniyah of wounds from small-arms fire. He was assigned to Fort Lewis. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Winder was adopted at the age of 2. In all, the Winders have adopted eight children, some of them with special needs. "The fact that he was abandoned at such an early age affected him all his life," said his mother, Terri Winder. "He was very tender, even though he had created a hard shell on the outside. And he laughed a lot." He also is survived by his wife, Mechelle, and their 11-year-old son, Logan.

Simply put, you were the best. There isn't a day go by that we don't think about you. Logan is your spitting image, and has your character and humor as well. The bond the 3 of us share is forever, and is the one thing we can truly call our own. We cherish the time we had with you here on Earth, and know in time we'll be together again. Be proud of the man, soldier and especially father that you were, are, and will always be. PS..Everyday is Sunday. ;o)

Hey Nate. Just wanted to stop by and say that I was proud to have been one of your Soldiers. I remember back at Ft Riley as a brand new private in B 1/41 IN (Mech), you were one of my first supervisors and right away I knew that I wanted to mold myself after you and be the type of leader you were. I regret not keeping in touch with you enough after we went separate ways. Knowing that we both were in the same country at the time of your death makes my Heart heavy. I know that we MUST have made a difference. All I had to do was see the look on the kids' faces, we gave them hope. I know you are in a much better place. I'll see you on the other side my Friend.

Nate,

I'm gonna miss your laugh my friend. I appreciate the example you set for me as a soldier and as a man. Hopefully when we meet again the big man upstairs will give us one more field problem or one more night out at silverados listening to Toby Keith singing I should've been a cowboy. My heart is filled with found memories and I am grateful. I'm proud of you brother.

I served with Nate in 1-41 IN, Fort Riley, KS. He was a great soldier, a good friend, and taught me quite a bit about being a leader. He is missed greatly.

Dale Betz

November 18, 2008

I knew Nate a relatively short time, but got a chance to see his greatness, over and over. Some people only shine when things are easy and others are brilliant in the most dire situations. Nate was the latter. Nate was always at my side because I could always count on him. We were surrounded by heroes, but he managed to outshine them all, repeatedly. Nate's deeds are hard to capture in words. I hope one day to tell his son how great his father truly was. I am afraid that I may overwhelm him with examples of his heroism. I am honored to have served with him and his ODA brothers.

SIncerely,

Faye Benally

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Nathan, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt 1st Class Winder and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

August 16, 2007

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Rest in Peace boet, I hope you are there to meet me when I come through to the other side. I wish I had gotten to know you better. I find some form of peace knowing that you died doing what you loved and for a cause you believed in with men you saw as family. From what i hear you died honorably doing what most men would have thought twice about. May you rest in piece.

Just learned of the death of SFC Nathan Winder in Iraq. SFC, then SSG, Winder was one of my dismounted Squad Leaders while in B, Co 1-5 CAV, 1st Cavalry Division. He is one of, if not the finest Soldier and Leader that served in my company and that battalion. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to his fellow Soldiers. A true Warrior was lost. God bless you SFC Winder. RLTW.

To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and as you mourn this loss.
We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well.
To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort: When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. The one thing that cannot be taken from you is your wonderful memories that now will mean more than ever.
If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero.
God Bless this soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

The words do not come easy. Nate and I wrestled each other through High School we traded wins and losses through out the years. Off the mat Nate befriended me he was very kind. When I heard of Nates death on the news my heart ached. Our nation has lost yet another incredible person. Faith that he is not lost forever is my hope for us all.

Nate was a warrior to the core and his sacrifice will never be forgotten. I met Nate when he was in the "Q" course when he rotated through Eisenhower Army Medical Center. He was a fantastic student who I know became a superb 18D. Try as I might I could not stump Nate with very detailed questions when we were spending hours together in the OR. Godspeed my brother. Peace and comfort be with your family. DE OPRESSO LIBER.

We can't imagine what you have been going through since being notified of the death of your young Warrior. The Military and families all over the USA and world are grieving with you and praying for you. What a very brave individual you have in your family that would give up a life for their homeland and its people so they can remain free. Your Freedom Fighter has served the Country above and beyond the call of duty, let no one ever tell you different. With the mission now completed your Warrior has been redeployed to Heaven to sit on the right hand of the Supreme Commander and Chief. The Father above has Nathan in his arms and will give him peace as well as eventually easing your pain and suffering. God speed to you and Sgt. 1st Class Nathan L. Winder, our HERO. We are so proud of them that are willing to sacrifice for this great Nation, THANK YOU.

Nate was a great friend to my husband. They worked side by side and when they weren't at work the often were hanging out somewhere else. My husband has wonderful memories of Nate and has shared many of them with me and I look forward to hearing more. Nate was such a kind soul and was so sweet to my children. I will remember him always. His family and wife are in my prayers. I know you are with God and he is taking good care of you. Keep an eye on us down here, now that we have an angel.

To the family of Nathan, my grief for the loss of your son is felt. I know what it's like to loose your child in war as my son was killed in action too. It feels that your heart has been ripped from you and you don't understand why this happened to your child. I've felt all you will feel in the coming days and weeks and though I’m not close in relation to area, but I am very close by email. I offer any support to you and your family that I can. It's with the Grace of God that I've gotten through each day and with His healing love and comfort that I've been able to once again sleep at night and not cry each day. Believe me I do know how hard it is. May God continue to heal you and your family and contact me when and if you are ever ready, even if it's to vent or cry.
