To the family of Spc. Christopher J. Scott:
Christopher gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

We offer our heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of Spc. Scott, and we honor his distinguished service to the cause of freedom and liberty. Sadly, America has lost one of its finest heroes, the U.S. has lost a friend and protector, and a family has lost an example of character and courage, which they will love and respect forever. Today, because of the sacrifice Spc. Scott has made, the house of freedom is stronger, sturdier, and more secure.
To the family and friends, of Spc. Scott, I would like you to know that a lot of people pray for you, and my hope is that their prayers will give you the strength necessary to carry on. Just as you were always with him when he was deployed overseas, know that he will always be with you wherever you may be. In the days to follow, may you be strengthened by the fact that Spc. Scott was a man distinguished by exceptional courage and will always be admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. You, your family and your sacrifice will never be forgotten.
"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid, they have earned our undying gratitude. America will never, ever forget their sacrifices."
Spc. Scott the flag of the United States of America has your blood sewn into the fabric; it shall wave forever in your honor.
Freedom requires sacrifice the protected will never know.

You have left this world too soon. I am so sorry for your fiance and family. My husband was a Vietnam veteran and yearned for our citizens to acknowledge that service. The next few days as hard as they might be on the family I am glad to know your ultimate sacrifice is being acknowledged and honored. God bless you and your family. You are in a much better place with God and your fellow soldiers. I know you will provide needed love to those left behind. Rest in peace.

Ken, Tammy, Mike, Daniel, and Tory,
There are no words to express my remorse to you with the loss of Chris. I can tell you I found Chris to be an exceptional man in every aspect of the term whether it was in the classroom, at hunter safety class, or during field ops. Chris is part of the fabric that makes America exceptional as well. I will always remember the boy that became the man who became my friend and then became an American soldier. Take heart and hold tightly to his memory.
Sincerely, Doug Coleman (DC)

know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Christopher will never be forgotten.
For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.
For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.
I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.
I Salute You.

We met you for a breif time when we went to Danny and your graduation from Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. You were a very special friend to him, we realize more like Brothers than friends. You were the brother Dan never had. We grieve for you and your family and this is a loss we all share. Our prayers are with you and especially your family.
