Mario, I miss you every day brother. You are not forgotten. It broke my heart to have learned of your sacrifice while I was in Ramadi and you were in Hit.

O well son its coming that time again. Oct 6,2006. That bad day. We miss you a lot. Mia talks of you a lot. I remember when you were no longer among the living. But you did come to see mia. She could see you but nobody else could. You le me know you were here. But I had to tell you to go home you didn't belong here anymore. Some people may think I am crazy. But no I am not. I know you came back just to see you babygirl mia one more time.

As years go by it get even harder to believe the fact that you are not here with us. Today marked the 7 years anniversary since you made the ultimate sacrifice so we could work freely in this country. I could only imagine how it's going to be when we meet again.until then keep my bed warm for me in heaven

Hey honey
I sent you one on Saturday for your birthday but it didn't post.
we miss you so much its not the same, you made a difference without you. Mia and i misses you so much she wanted to have a cake for your birthday it's not easy raising a child without a father however people say I make it look easy but I told them by the grace of God which is a spiritual father and knowing that you know who you married was capable of being strong minded. mia is getting so big she looks exactly like you laugh out loud you always called her your twin. Shes so beautiful baby. Tears still fall from my eyes missing you dearly. Mia has her moments as well
Love you baby. Your smile your voice your presence always made my days better. You will always be the best in you two girls eyes
May 26, 2013
The pain never stops. The tears never stop falling. I will never get over this. You should be here. You should have been here at my wedding, you should be visiting my home, you should be at Christmases and Thanksgivings. It doesn't stop hurting and it never will. I love you so much! I miss you so much! You are never forgotten. EVER!!!!!

We are an organization of over 240 groups from all over the country. We make every effort to reach families even when post cards are returned after they have moved.

Over 1,450 portraits have been completed and shipped to the parents and or spouse - at no cost as this is a gift from one American to another!

Hey Mo, I dream sometimes that this was all a big mistake. That you're out there somewhere and one day you'll come home and see how much the apple of your eye has grown and all will be normal again. Thinking of the future without just doesn't make sense to me. So I am comforted by thoughts of you somewhere out there well and hopefully we will meet again. Until then, I love you. You will always be in my heart and mind.

Sgt. Nelson,
After having served in Hit, Iraq in 2005, prior to your arrival, it was our hope that never would that soil see the blood of Americans again. You have paid the ultimate sacrifice, and every soldier, sailor, airman and Marine feels your loss in some way. You are forever in the graces of God and the memories of those that knew you.

In Memory of Mario ~ (Debra Estep)
October 2, 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 Mario, 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.

I am creating a quilt to honor the fallen soldiers from the New York City Area. Each soldier will have a panel created. I am inviting the friends and families to get involved. If you are interested or would like some more information please contact me at [email protected]

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

My condolences goes out to the Nelson family, to his wife and his baby girl. I THANK YOU Mario. I knew Mario from I.S.252 (Arthur Somers) we went to Junior High school and were in the same class. I just happened to look up people from brooklyn that gave their life in the war and couldn't believe that I saw your face. This brought tears to my eyes because I though about you a few months ago, thinking that you were one of the few people that I didn't happen to run into in years. Being a military member makes it even harder for me... God Bless you Mario you were a sweet person and you will be MISSED and NEVER forgotten. You were an angel here on earth and I know you are standing by the Lord side. I will keep you and your family always in my prayers GOD Bless you Mario.

“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
