Man, I cant believe it's been about 10 years. I still think about you often. Think about how you taught me how to spread jelly every time I make a PB&J. I miss you.

My name is Chris Wharton. I was a firefighter on Arifjan and with Joshua when he passed away. I have wanted to reach out to his family ever since that day but I will confess, I have been fearful to do so. If anyone could help me contact his family I would be dearly grateful.

Well its veterans day and I've been thinking of you a lot today. I miss you all the time. Growing up with you was a lot of fun and I'm glad I got to know you inside and out. We've shared a lot of memories. Some I will never forget. I still can't believe youre gone sometimes. It makes me so sad that you'll never be able to see your babies grow but they will know how great their daddy was. Like everyone says, your legacy will live on forever. Love you and miss you so much!!!

"To the family,friends, and former conrades alike of SPC. Joshua L. Hazelwood. i met this young man on a bus in S.C. FT.Jackson on the way to FT.Eustis,VA on Oct.26 2007. we were bunk buddies when we arrived, after talkin an askin where we were from i mentioned i was from down south in Houston,TX. from a small towncalled sagemont. in the southbelt area,so happened he was from Pearland. i cant count up how much we talked about missing home, an just an ice cold beer. we had the same MOS an same attitude. and he talked me into getting my first tattoo here in VA. so i guess he wasnt such a good influence but i needed to have some at the same time. an of course he had to get a tattoo too. i think his count was 21 tats then. i still remeber what day an what time an what we both got. we would wrestle when the drill seargents would tell us lights out. an we would stay up talkin to our snificant other back home. we squared each other away every morning an sometimes shared each others electric razors on the way to class on the bus because he either woke up late or forgot to shave. an cant add up how much money we spent on cab rides everywhere. we got along great an was lookin forward to seein him when i got back to tx since he graduated school before i did. we caught up on dec.23 2007. at my house in sagemont. i will never forget how many times we put that bottle of patron to our mouths an took a swig. the one thing i miss most about that guy was his sense of humor an passion for being in his childrens lives. thats all me an him talked about. was getting married. so i married in feb.8 2008. i told him i wanted him as my best man. but i ended up being deployed rapidly at ft.hood. so it was just a quick stop at the court house.an still to this day i think about what crazy stories he would of said during his speech of being my best man.. an still to this day after being on one deployment an 3yrs an 3months of service i have never met anyone that comes to that man i met on oct.26 2007. i would have to say i think we are all better that we knew him, an the worst thing of all is that i have to wait to tell him that. for the family an friends an subordiants alike. not only are my prayers an thoughts are with you,but forever he will not be forgotten in my life. the legacy of SPC. Joshua L. Hazelwood will not be forever lost. cause he will always be found in our hearts...

March 20, 2010

I miss you so much and it is so hard because something told me the last time you were at my house that you would not come back to my house ever again. But I did not understand because I could never get mad at you where I would not want to see you and I feel it would be the same for you. So I didn't understand and did not question this feeling to you or anyone. Then 2 or 3 weeks before this happened in my heart I felt you calling me, but still no response.I hurt so bad, you know could I have done something by responding to these feelings? Maybe we would not have lost you, but we will never know. I miss and love you so much can't wait to see you again. Love Your Big Sister HEATHER

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen

Father we entrust our brother Joshua to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Joshua in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.

Without brave and unselfish men like Spc Joshua Hazlewood, I would not have the freedom I enjoy every day. It's my duty now to pay respet to him and thank him and his family for their ultimate sacrifice. Be proud of Joshua, he truly was an amazing young man. God bless you in your time of need and bring you peace.

Josh,
I dont know where to start this. I miss you so much already. My heart is breaking. I remember when Eli passed.. and I remember how messed up we all were about it. I remember how mad you were at him. I dont want to be angry with you and I dont want to be angry with God, but I am. Why did He have to take you from us so soon?

I saw mom, dad and Lacey yesterday... it was hard. Mom is doing better, but shes still just as lost as the rest of us without you. We miss you so much and we love you so much.

Rest in peace my dear Josh... rest in peace Baby J.

I love you.

To the Hazlewood Family,

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. Joshua shall never be forgotten.

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 .

Every second you sacrificed
I hold you in my prayers.
So with one hand on my heart and the other in the air;

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.
