This past weekend I attended a GoRuck endurance event where each of us brought a bio of someone to honor, so that we could all learn from each other about our fallen. I chose SWO CPO Heath M. Robinson and we were all inspired by his ultimate sacrifice. Rest in Peace.

I'm a few days late lighting this candle in memory of Heath M. Robinson. A year ago yesterday I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Throughout this roller coaster of a journey,this brave warrior was my guardian angel through it all. I swam the frogman swim in Heath's memory in 2016. The plaque I received from the frogman swim (with Heath's name and picture) now hangs in my office. Forever grateful for your bravery and wisdom each and every day.

To the family of Heath M. Robinson:
Hi, my name is Carleigh Hulsey and I am a student at Winfield City High School. My government teacher has asked me to pick a person that has given their life for this country. I picked Mr. Robinson because I seen he lived in Detroit, Michigan and I have a lot of family members that live near Detroit. I am a senior this year and am really looking forward to attending college next year. I plan to be a pediatric nurse because I really love helping people, and I also enjoy working with children. I play the trumpet, and I'm in Color Guard. I enjoy doing community service and helping others.I really appreciate Mr. Robinson and the service he did so that we might continue to have the freedoms we have today. He gave the ultimate sacrifice and will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Again, thank you so much for everything. If anyone would like to reply, please contact my teacher at [email protected].
Sincerely,
Carleigh Hulsey

I went and saw that movie Captain Phillips two days ago. This is the movie about Navy Seals rescuing a cargo ship captain. I have been thinking about you a lot since. I hope all is well in God's kingdom, and I trust that it is. Also, I am tremendously proud that a fellow Michigander was serving in such an elite unit.

Happy early Veterans Day, Heath!

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Robinson Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,

I never knew your son, but I served in the Navy in my younger years. I wanted to honor his memory and those of other military members who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms and those who hope for freedom and democracy. God bless him and your family.

Today was one whole year since we lost this wonderful young man. I made a trip to Arlington National Cemetery today and placed a remembrance on his grave. I wanted the family to know that "I remember." There were many comrades in arms there today to visit their fallen friends. It was bittersweet. God bless you~~his family. Having no address, I could not send you the card I had to send. I pray for you and remember your loss.

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.
