Sgt. Clint E. Williams

I served with Clint. I was his medic for his platoon. I always think about him and the others that we lost during that tour. I was with him when he was first injured, which was the second time that we had been blown up together. During his passing, I was not the medic on the convoy. I always remember the statement that his PL made during his service. He will always be remembered by me. I miss you bro.

It's been over a decade Clint, and not a single day goes by I don't think about that day. I will never forget your sacrifice. I will always live and fight just like you, with Strength and Honor. I am incredibly humbled and honored to be able to have served with you, but even more proud to have called you a brother. I'll see you soon at Fiddlers' Green.

I joined the Army the same day as Clint "peanut". We were two Oklahoma boys with big dreams and no clue as to what laid ahead. I never got the chance to say good bye, as no one ever does, but your never forgotten.

Love you Brother! Black 0 will live forever.

Clint, a true hero, Thanks to all for your kind words

September 14, 2011
To the family and friends of Sgt. Clint E. Williams:
Please accept my remembrance of Clint on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I met Clint in basic training and we became friends. And when I heard he died, I decided to name my first born son after him. Well, on Sunday 5 June 2011, Clint William Brooks was born in Las Vegas, Nevada. I only hope the new Clint is as much of an American as my friend who so bravely died in 2006.

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.

While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more

To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one thing they truly deserve.

The loved one's that they have left behind,
The Gold Star mothers, like your and mine
We honor them proudly, every day
Our American Soldier...Proud and Brave
By Shannon Williams-Austill

I want to thank this soldier for their sacrifice.
And, I wish to extend my deepest regards to the loved ones they have left behind. Their service to our nation, has not gone unnoticed. They are our heroes, who paid the ultimate price for us, and that is something that every American needs to be reminded of and remember everyday.
The freedom we all have, we have because of brave young men and women who made a choice to defend and serve.
Today, let me remember your loved one with you.

To the family and friends of Sgt. Clint E. Williams:
Remembering Clint on the anniversary of his passing. May our fallen heroes never be forgotten!

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 Clint, 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.

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Williams!

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

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!!

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

God Bless. I lost my brother August 4, 2006, My prayers are with you!

Too young to have missed so much. Wish you could have spent more of your gracious, precious time among us. Wish we could have shared a whole lot more, as it probably should be, for us to understand what purpose we serve here on earth. Love you much. Arterberry

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers

Soldiers write history, we pay the price
Many miles distant, you live the life
Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still

We hope and pray that all will find peace
In God, in the flag, in memories of valor
Gone now, our pride and courage you see
“An Army of One” our motto forever

Willing to risk all for love of our Brothers
We’re still Your Soldiers…and we showed the way
Our Lives too short, now pray for the others
Lived free died Heroes in lands far away

Deep within souls all cherished our Service
We’ll always have what some never know
Courage and Honor, our names forever
Lived life with purpose…just our time to go

We march in the Heavens with Honor and Glory
Missions accomplished we fought the Good Fight
Many years from now…we’ll tell the full story
Until that Day we will live in the Light

Our lives we laid down in a land far away
Still watching o’er you this night and by day
No need to talk…just know we are with you
There in your hearts and we hear what you pray

Yes we are your soldiers
Our lives we laid down
Still We guard o’er you
Still Duty bound

Entered the Battle of our own free will
Out of Duty for Country, and we’d do it still
We’ll always have what some never know
Lived life with purpose…it was our time to go

I was in Charlie Co. 2/58 at Sandhill, Ft. Benning, (basic training)with Sgt. Williams, and got to know him quite well. He was by far the best leader and nicest person I ever met in the Army. I am deeply saddened to have learned of Sgt. Williams' death, and when I found out about his death, I told my 7th grade students about him and how I trained with and knew a true American hero. God Bless Sgt. Williams and his family.

Please accept my sincere condolences. I will be forever grateful to Clint for the sacrifice he made for our country. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. May God console you during this most difficult time.

I also did not know Clint but I too am so sorry for your loss. Men and women like him are and were the Best of the Best. I served during the Vietnam war and my oldest son, Mike served in Iraq during Desert Storm and youngest son, Kyle joined the Air Force but was discharged from a physical disability so we definitely can sympathize with you. I wish I could have met him. I know God had a wonderful place for him with our many heros. My barber and friend Leslie Spruce Kalupa and her husband, Dale also a friend in Mansfield told us about Clint. May God bless and keep yall.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Williams family in the loss of Clint. I did not know Clint, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Clint you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.
Love and Peace
Tom

To live in the hearts
of those you leave behind
is never to die"
~Robert Orr~

Clint made me laugh. He had this voice like no other and when you heard it, it just made you smile. I am thankful to have known him and thankful for the memories I will always carry with me.
He was amazing, but this is not the end, only the beginning and we will meet again.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all always.

I join your family in mourning...another fine 1-10 CAV soldier has joined his comrades as a martyr for freedom. These are a special kind of martyr in God's eyes - those who followed His example by loving others more than themselves and giving their all.

I can say these things with authority - my son CPL Matt Wallace was 1-10 CAV, and died on 21 JULY 2006 from injuries he received from an IED.

My heart is with you.
"Ready and Forward"

Thank you, Sgt. Williams for your ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country.

I hope that we are worthy of it.

God bless you and speed you on your journey to Heaven!

I feel so very fortunate to have personally known Clint.To me, he will always be that cute, freckle- faced, little boy with the beautiful smile and sparkling blue eyes. My heart goes out to his family and I just know that he is up there in heaven looking over his loved ones. He will never be forgotten by the many, many people whose lives and hearts he touched.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Clint;

I never knew you; I was driving through Kingston and was stopped by your funeral procession. It was obvious what was happening and so I had to learn about you. Watching the procession brought tears to my eyes because of the outpouring of support from people in the procession and on the side of the street waving flags. You will obviously be missed by your community. Thank you for serving our country and remember…Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his brother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To the Family of Clint Williams. I wanted to express my condolences to the family this is such a diffcult time for the family. However,this is a nice to reflect on the loving memories that was shared with your love ones.
The bible give us comfort to help ease the pain because nothing can take it away only time. A warming scripture I like was 2Cor 1:3,4 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God".
Please take comfort in knowing that god understand your pain, and he helps you to bear it.
May you have peace.

Clint was one of my alumni boys, I was the president when he went through his senior year. I have some wonderful memories of that week that I wouldn't take for. He was a great kid. He will be greatly missed. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Clint loved his family, friends and Country and made the ultimate sacrifice for us all. Clint was and always will be a loving son to Marci and Lavoyd; a wonderful baby brother to Duron and Jessica; a delightful grandson to Nancy and Jack; an amazing nephew to Leslie and Karl. He will live in our hearts forever and we will be forever thankful for our couragous Hero. Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for the loss of Clint. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May God Bless you and guide you through this difficult time. Our Deepest Sympathy,

Clint, you are a fellow solider and we thank you for serving our country and protecting our people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time and always. God Bless Clint and his family. May Clint be the angel that protects and guides your way. Bless you all.

You are a fellow soldier and a good friend you will never be forgotten

Lavoyed, our hearts go out to you and your family. The loss of Clint is a great tragedy. Our prayers will be with you.

Clint will be missed in our part of the family so much. He is an insparation to my children, nephews, and me. I know Adam will surely be lost without him. As will everyone in my family. May God bless you and yours in this time of need. Our prayers and love are with the family always.

My heart goes out to your family,I know you lost a wondeful son in Clint, as I had the pleasure of him staying in my home he was such a pleasant young man.He had been in my prayers since the day he left for Iraq.It broke my heart when my daughter called and told me that he had been taken from you. I have two son-n-laws in the Army,one you may know Randell Dewitt,whom,I myself am very proud of along with Larry my other son-n-law.May the Lord Bless and keep you in his heart through this painful time.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

To my dearest friend Marci and Family, My Family and I are so very proud of what Clint did for our country. We are all so very sorry that you Duran, Jessica, and Lavoyd are going through this terribly sad time in your lives. Please know that we will always remember Clint as a Hero who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Marci, you and your family are in our hearts and prayers.

So just look after your family from above now. With love and prayers to your family.

Lavoyed,Marcy,Duron,Jessica and all other members of Clint's family. I have yet to lose a love one to the war, but have a newphew who will join others there in January and I just want to say "Thanks to all the young men and women in our Country who are fighting for us to be free" I hope I never have to endure the pain of losing a child, but Amber was as close as I can get to it.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My family will keep you in our PRAYERS!! My husband Sgt. Matthew Staples had the honor of knowing your son they were at Fort Lewis and also served a tour in Iraq together. Matt said that when he got transfered to Fort Hood, Tx. He was very sad to loose such a good friend. He said he could also make him laugh, even at the hardest times. Your son was a great man and soldier. He will be missed. Thank you for letting my family get to know such a wonderful man. We will keep your family in our PRAYERS.

Please accept our condolences for your loss. May God ease your pain and give you strength in this difficult time. We will keep you in our prayers, that you find comfort in God’s love and joy in the memory of your Soldier, Clint.

Clint, thank you for your bravery & honor,so that we can remain free. We are so proud to have known you.

To Our Fallen Hero~

You have made the official sacrifice. To his Family: Thank You for raising such a fine, selfless man we call one of our heroes. He will never be forgotten...

I am so very sorry for your loss. May your happy memories of your brave son comfort you in the days ahead. Surely, Clint is one of God's newest angels.

Our Son Steve had the privilege of delivering the Memorial Service for Clint. He was proud to have him as a friend and enjoyed watching the OU game with Clint.

A PROUD MARINE MOM

To the Family of Sgt. Clint E. Williams:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous 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. We lost a son 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all 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. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now 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 those 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 courageous soldier and family.

My Deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family of Sgt. Clint E. Williams.

The price this young hero and his family have paid for this country and our freedom, WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

There is so much thanks to be given, for these young heroes, for their Courage, Service and Dedication.

May Clint rest safely in God's Mighty Hands and may God's Loving Comfort and Grace be with the Williams family.

I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago.



Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.

Psalm 55:22



May the memories of your loved one live in your heart always.

Softly and slowly....

Time heals...

May God bless you and comfort you in your time of loss. Thank you Clint for serving our country so bravely.

Clint was truly an amazing person and is already greatly missed. It's always hard losing a best friend, but I know I'll see him again!

We send our deepest sympathy to the family of Sgt. Clint Williams. Our hearts go out to our friend Lavoyd Williams, the loving, proud father of Clint. God bless you Clint for your brave and unselfish sacrifice.

Clint was a very special person. When he was around it was very hard to notice that there was anyone else in the room. He was the spotlight. I'll never forget seeing him at the Jason Boland concert. He put his arm around me and told Tyler he was going to take me away from him. Tyler said, "It's too late. Look at the ring on her finger." We hadn't yet got to tell Clint that we were engaged. He was so excited for us. And promised to be at the wedding if he could. Unfortunately, duty called and he couldn't be there. But we knew how happy he was for us. Clint will always be missed. But there are many memories that we all have that will last a lifetime.

May God comfort you in the loss of your loved one. May rest in peace in the arms of God.

I am saddened by yet another young man losing his life to protect our country. My heart goes out to his family, and a big THANK YOU to Clint for the service he gave.

May God bring your family peace and comfort during this time. You will be in my prayers.
