Hello,
We wanted to let you, your family and friends know that we have made a small donation to Wreaths Across America in honor of Jeffrey D. Walker US Marine Lance Corporal.
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 possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign

Prayer Shawls 4 Fallen Soldiers ([email protected]) is an organization with groups throughout the country who strive to send handmade prayer shawls and/ or lap robes to families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Members of Trindle Spring Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA would like to honor your son’s sacrifice and memory by sending our prayers and comfort through a shawl which we will mail to you. If you are interested, please contact me at [email protected] with the names and addresses and what they would like to receive. We will send them as soon as possible. Also, if you know of any other families who are grieving the loss of a loved one who died serving our country, please pass along my e-mail address, as our organization can no longer get family contacts through the military. May God bless you and comfort you in the days ahead. Sincerely, Lynne

Jeffrey, I did not know you personally, your Grandfather Donald Walker is my wife's cousin.
In one important way though we are related as Marine brothers. I thank you and honor you for your service to our Country.
I know I will see you when I get to my last duty station with the Lord,and we will know each other then. I will salute you and proclaim Semper Fi Marine.
Donald and Linda I am sorry I did not know about this, my prayers are with the family.
Peace and Love to all.

Sometimes I say to myself, "Your not gone! You are still protecting us!" Sometimes I can still feel your presence and hear your laughter. Mostly at night when I am driving or even when I see a parade of military trucks go by. I have this flag that I carry with me everywhere I go in the semi and when I see the parade of trucks I pick it up and grip it tightly and wave to the men and women that fight for our freedom so I can do the things I do today! I miss you Son! Everyday! Every hour and every minute that goes by! I love you!

Hey Son,
I haven't been on this page in a while. It is hard to try and speak to you like your still here, like you are actually reading this when I know that you are not.
Just wanted to say that Me and the girls will be walking in a Memorial Day parade in Dacula, GA tomorrow. There will be one sign for each of Ga's Fallen Heroes. I will be carring your sign and the girls will have the HONOR of carring the signs of 2 more HEROES whos families cannot be there. I think it will make a big impact on people. They need to remember what Memorial Day is all about. It is SO MUCH more than just a back yard barbque, a family get together or a day at the beach. I know that us families that are left behind will NEVER FORGET! I am teaching your son the true meaning of MEMORIAL DAY! I love and miss you so very much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder.......what if?

Hey Son,
Just wanted to let you know that this old man will not let a day go by that I don't think or talk about you! I know you are well and taking care of business. I do miss you very much and wish I could see your face once again. I have moved to Iowa with Cathy now. It was hard letting go of Georgia but I had to change somehow. Maybe this will work for me and I will be able to do the next right thing soon. I love you Son!

I just learned about the loss of Lcpl Jeffrey Walker, a proud young Marine taken from us too soon. It's heartwarming to read the love and admiration for him in these posts. I appreciate so very much these brave young men and women serving today. They "get it" and their children will learn from their example. God bless the USA!

Happy Birthday to you, son! Today you would have turned 24 years old. I love and miss you dearly. We took Conner to the cemetary and we all sang happy birthday to you and left 2 birthday balloons. I so wish you were still here with us. But, I know one day I will see your smile and hug you again. Till then, I hold onto Connerman. Love you!! Moma

Hey Son,
Well yesturday was the 2 year mark but it still seems like yesturday that we lost you. It is always to painful, beyond words. It is like having my heart ripped out all over again. My mind kept replaying the events of that day and it was so real and so fresh. People say that it gets eaiser with time..... I DO NOT agree. It may get alittle less intense, except for days like yesturday and your birthday, the date of your funeral, Conners birthday, all holidays. See, so it really don't get easier at all. The thoughts of you are ALWAYS there. Somedays are just worse than others. We had a dinner at the clubhouse in honor of you there was a good turn out. It didn't go as I had planned, but you learn things as you go. Next year will be different, I promise.
We got pictures of Conner sitting at the piano with some shades on. We are going to sit it next to the pic of you sitting at the same piano with your shades on. You look like twins!! He is so yours, everything about him is YOU. I love it! When Dana brought him in and put him down he ran up to me and hugged me so hard. I was crying and he looked at me and told me "Nana, don't cry-be happy"....Like I said just like his daddy! He spent the night with me and Paw Paw so I got to love on him alot, it helped! I love you and miss you dearly. I would trade ALL of my tomorrows for just one yesturday with you!! love ya B-A-T-S Always Moma

Hey Son,
Dad Here! Wanted to stop by and say I love you and miss you. Getting close to the anniversary and thought about you alot over the past few days. It seems so weird to know your gone from this earth but not by spirit and the memories you left in everyones heart. Connerman is doing good and so is your sisters and mom. We plan to eat on the 14th of May at the Birdie Clubhouse. I know you would put away some grubb with us if you were here. It is all about you son and I will do it over and over again. So in your honor I will eat a piece of chicken for you...lol. Lots of love to you and miss you very much.
If any of your buddies would like to contact me, they can contact me through Legacy. Love you my son!!!

I am from Dublin and know you have tremendous support but want you to know you have the prayers of many. I am so proud to be An American and have heros like Jeffrey fighting for our freedom but as we all know it's not free. I can not begin to understand the pain and void that you now have but your family is in my thought and prayers. May you find joy in his son and share many years remembering his daddy as you see him grow into a young man. Thank you for your son and his sacrifice. Many hugs and prayers to your entire family.

I came across this letter that was written by a Gold Star mother. She had written it to ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS AND VETS. It made me cry soooo much! There is one part in it that just hit me so hard. It was this sentence "I am humbled and in awe to think that I know such Great men as yourself and I have to "salute" you. I don't
even know if it's proper, or if it's politically correct ! but, I just have to "salute" you." It makes me think of at the church when they started to take you out I stood up and "Saluted You". I didn't know if it was proper...or politically correct! All I knew was the EXTREME PATRIOTIC PRIDE that I felt in my heart and soul for having you as my son! To have had the HONOR of having you as my son and knowing you as a person, a son, a brother, a father, a friend a MARINE!!! I am so humbled and thankful! I miss you, there is such a void.
I LOVE YOU SON!! You will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!! I PROMISE!!
It is with great pride and yet humbleness that I write you Great American Soldiers!
As a Blue Star Mother, it was on May 25,2008 that I faced and received that horrific news that my
son,SSG Frank Gasper was killed and ultimately paid the price for Freedom! That was the day that
changed my life completed, and also made me A Gold Star Mother! But, I find myself that even as broken
as I feel,yet I feel a sense of duty and responsiblity to preserve the legacy of my son, Frank . And also to
remember those before him, and those after him.
I am honored to say that in the midst of the letters he wrote me, he left me pieces of history. He gave me
places, dates and situations yet,so little information. Yet as he expressed and shared, you could not help
but feel somewhat of what he was feeling. As the tears run down my face, as I reflect on his writings,I sense
the urgency of not letting this legacy "die". I will not let it sit on a shelf and collect dust, nor will it go in the
family heirloom chest. But, rather it is being told to everyone I come in contact with.
You are but the history book, the "talking history book", that the world needs to hear. It is a great price that
you have paid,or are paying and it must not be forgotten!
It's you,that goes without rest,or when you do rest your head, your mind is full of the weariness.The days'
hell that you went through,the meals you missed,the days that you didn't get a shower, the adrenaline that
rushed through you chest as you watched for your brother's back, yet there's nothing you could do,when
the worst faced you! the wounded solider up in the Hospital,the Veteran that was snuck back into the
Country after war,the suicides that many committed,the silent wounded Soldier that tries to fit in yet,finds it
hard to,the holidays spent away from home,the steps you never witnessed or the birth of your first born
child, the girlfriend that left you for just a civilian,the far away rumbles of the bombs going off afar, all the
Soldier's huddled together,praying God keep us safe! the news that your unit just got orders to deploy
again,the vacation that you will not get to take with the family,and so many more!! this is the price for
Freedom,that must not go unforgotten! It is because of you great American Soldier's that our RED,WHITE
and BLUE flag still waves in the wind,and stands so strong!
These are the stories that I have a burden to preserve, and not let go unforgotten! Yet, I am humbled by
your courage,your strength,your integrity and dedication,your battle wounds,those unseen, and those
seen that each of you American Soldier's share in common. Yet, you do not expect anything in return, nor
do you do it for the medals, not even a "thank you", but for your comrades, your brothers, who fight next to
you, the innocent people that are oppressed, and for the duty that calls within you!
I am humbled and in awe to think that I know such Great men as yourself and I have to "salute" you. I don't
even know if it's proper, or if it's politically correct ! but, I just have to "salute" you.
Just as your soul will not rest,until freedom reins in the land! Neither does my soul rest and I will make sure
that the price of Freedom is not Forgotten!
May God Bless you! Keep you safe! and until we meet again,may your heart begin to write our world's
history so it will not be forgotten!
I pray you find the strength to write at least one line a day, to write down the things that you feel and go
through on a daily basis. You will be surprised just one line a day,with a date or even a time how it will
bring healing to you,as it has to me. I have started to write my life's journey as a Gold Star Mother.There's
days,I look back and read the struggles,even of a day or two ago and some days I can honestly say, it's
what got me through the day!
Stand tall, Stand proud, and don't let the guilt,shame and regrets of today rob you of tomorrow! You are
an American Soldier, part of this great history and the price that was,and is paid for Freedom!
I will pledge to each of you,that all I can do is pray for you,write to you, send you packages,and I will even
be an ear for you. I will stand in support of you at a Rally. I will place my Blue/Gold Star flag up so
proudly,yet so humbly! I will even shed a tear at the thought of the price of Freedom! but I will promise to
you,that the Price for Freedom will not be forgotten!
With all my love and prayers! My heart is so filled with graditude for each of you for your service to me,and
our Country!

Hey Son, sorry it's been a while. I just wanted to stop by today, Veterans Day and say "THANK YOU"! I love and miss you so very much!! DAILY....Missing you. Still waiting to wake up from the nightmare. Waiting on that phone call in the middle of the night!
You left behind such a huge hole in everybodies hearts and such a void in our family. We try to carry on and live our lives but there is ALWAYS that void. My life will never be the same again, it will never be complete without you. But you also left us a beautiful little boy that is you all over. It is like seeing your childhood all over again. He is so precious! I just wish that you could be here to see him, play with him and just hold him. The other night at bedtime, he went over to the cabinet with all of your pictures on it and one at a time he was taking them down and kissing them and saying night night daddy! I cried and was so touched by that. He knows you!!! I feel as if you are in this house with him sometimes. With us but yet not with us. I love you and can't wait to see you at the gates of heaven!! Till then..... I love you son, with all of my heart....for ever, ever, ever....as big as the SKY!!!
He looks more like you everyday!

Hi there Jeffrey. This is your Aunt Jenny. I still can't believe it's been over a year. I think about you so often. Every time I see a Marine, I see you. The Marines were at the Relay For Life helping us out this past weekend. I couldn't stop looking at them and thinking of you. I'm so very proud of you and what you did for this country. I know you are with God now and that we will see you again one day. We sure miss you down here though. I know they say time heals all wounds, but it sure takes it's sweet time doesn't it. We love you and miss you so very much! Love, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Rob and Christopher

Hey Jeffrey, this is grandma. I wanted to tell you that I love you and miss you so much. It's been a year now since you went to be with the Lord. It still hurts so much. I think about you every day. I'm so sorry that I didn't dance with you at the clubhouse that day--the last time that I saw you before you left for Iraq. I hope that God let's us have that dance in Heaven. There are times that I cry but I think that it will alway's be that way because I love and miss you so much. I keep hoping that I will dream of you but I haven't yet---maybe tonight.
Gotta go for now but I will talk to you again soon.
LOVE YOU,
Grandma
In Memory of Jeffrey ~ (Debra Estep)
May 14, 2008
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 Jeffrey, 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.

Me again Jeff, I forgot to tell you. But the flag that had draped your coffin, I asked my Dad to make a display holder & what it would cost to do so. He said he would and as for the cost, he said, "paid in full."
Now the flag that you were so proud to serve, that you sacrificed so much for, can and will be proudly displayed. I know you would thank my Dad for making it as he put so much pride into building it, so please know he would say to you Jeff, "no. Thank you sir."

Last time he and I talked in person, we sat and talked at length. It is as if I do know you. And your Dad, you know how much he misses you and proud.......oh that man always has been & always will be so proud of you.
He tells me you had thought of law enforcement. That is what I did until Multiple Sclerosis took it from me. But I know from hearing of you, you would have been an outstanding police officer. You would have been in the brotherhood of law enforcement as you were with the Marines. And in that, I know you would have also been ready to face the ultimate sacrifice.
As an ex-Sea Bee, I salute you and honor your service. And will always be ready to hear your Dad speak of you and his pride for you. Again, we have never met but I grieve your loss.
With the utmost respect,
Ron

Been a while son but I know you understand. I miss you so much that it hurts but I know for me I must remember what you did for us and your country like so many others.
Cathy, Myself and Goldie are doing what we do best and that is drive..drive...drive. We are so fortunate to see the country side by way of driving over the road and really loving every minute of it. We are in Donley Tx right now at a rest stop and it is so beautiful. I wished you could have spent some time with us out here but I know you can see it all now.
You have left us a beautiful boy on this earth and I cherish the time I get to spend with him. It is not alot of time but boy does he look like you.
I get to talk to your sisters every now and then and boy do they ever miss you too. Can you believe that? But we all miss you of course and I know one day we will meet again. Alot of people have signed your book and I am so grateful that you had so many people in your life.
I am still doing everything one day at a time and sometimes I can hear you say it to me and remind me.
I DO MISS YOU! AND LOVE YOU JEFF! SEMPER-FI....Always Faithful...Dad

Conner on his 1st birthday

December 22, 2007
I miss you SO very much! Conner turned 1 on Dec. 15th and it was such a bittersweet day. I cried both tears of joy and tears of sorrow, because it was the first of many birthdays that you will not be here for him. I hug and kiss him daily and tell him how much you love him. He looks so much like you, sometimes it is scary. I know you are looking down here from above so very proud of him. On sunny days I think of your chest swelling with pride with a big smile on your face and on rainy days I feel your tears of sorrow running down your checks. I miss you so very much, it still hurts so bad. I don't think it will ever stop. Half of my heart is missing. Thank you for the presious gift that you left here for me, he is what makes my life worth living. I love you and WILL see you again one day! Moma

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!!

Dear family of Lance Cpl. Jeffrey D. Walker, I am so sorry for the loss of your hero. He was a hero in many ways to many people. He was helping to maintain our freedoms and helping to bring freedoms to those that have never known freedom before. I send many packages to contacts listed at AnySoldier.com. Your Jeffrey being a volunteer contact for Any Soldier.com, was an angel to many in the field. He cared enough for his unit to help pass out mail to those who maybe did not receive any or as much mail as others. Helping them to know that they were supported, cared for and prayed for by us at home in the USA. What a true hero. Freedom isn’t free.
Thank you Lance Cpl. Jeffrey D. Walker. We miss you greatly.
May God’s Holy Spirit grant your family comfort as they progress through grieving for the loss of their very special hero.

“Paid in Full”
To Honor The Service of Fallen and Injured Marines
Marines through and through, they paid the price
Six thousand miles away, we live the life
For which they paid with their blood, spirits and bodies
We will never forget what they paid in full
We hope and we pray that somehow their loved ones find comfort
In God, in the flag, in the memory of their loved ones’ bravery
They’re gone now but we see them still…proud, strong, willing
Covering each other’s backs… courageous, moving forward
What kind of love did they have for us to be willing
To give all for the Black, White, Jew, Christian, Muslim?
We don’t comprehend but we honor you now and forever
You are Our Marines…some living…some not
Forever in our hearts we will cherish your lives
Lives too short yet immortal they’ll be
Highest brotherhood of the Few, the Proud
They stand at attention, and we gaze with awe
Some know their names not, but our admiration for them
Flows limitless within us, between us
They sacrificed their limbs or their lives
Freedom still rings, a soft sound across the miles
It tolls slowly; all of creation takes note
Of lives that were lost for people unknown
Out of sight but not lost; forever among us
The starched blues marching straight
Toward the place where we will meet them
Many years from now…how we loved them…
Well done beloved Brothers and Sisters…You’ve paid it in full
Always Faithful Marines, You Have Paid it in Full

This message is to all who have signed My sons guestbook, My name is James David Walker. I am Jeffrey's father and am so proud of my marine that gave his life for our freedom. Jeff was such a fine young man and loved us all. He was the life of the party and loved doing what he loved to do. He told me the last time I talked to him that things really looked pretty bad over there but he knew what he had to do. I do miss him very much and wished that this never happened. But if it wasn't for our service men we would not be able to leave messages like this to console our loved ones. I want to thank each one of you who have left a message on this book. I do know he is looking down here right now saying to everyone of us he will see us soon. He knows that because he is with our heavenly father standing guard with him right now. He has a new job right now and that is to look after our father. I love you Jeffrey and will see you soon Son!!! Dad
