Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Greene Family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to troops in Afghanistan this week and we'll be dedicating several of these to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Jeremy R. Greene US Army 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. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,

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 Jeremy, 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.

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.

I know there has been a large amount of time that has passed since Jeremy left us, but I would like to pass on my condolences to his family. I went to Shawnee with Jeremy and managed to stay in touch with him after we both graduated. I was soo proud of him the day I found out that he was going to enlist. I still remember sitting with him trying to plan out our lives.... it seems like yesterday. Oh how the years fly by.... I will never forget his smile, or the way he always knew how to brighten my day. He was one of the greatest human beings I know and I am proud to call him my friend. R.I.P. buddy - until we meet again!

“Soldier”
Written to Honor the Service of Our Fallen Soldiers
Soldiers write history…they 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

My military mom's heart breaks with you and I will keep you close in thought and prayer in the weeks to come. May you always smile when your thoughts turn to your boy and may you always have peace inside to know that he was an American hero full of strength, pride and honor.

Cindy & Family,
We (the DPG Oxford Indiana Plant Family) are so very sorry to hear about the passing of your son, A TRUE AMERCAN HERO. Our deepest and sincere sympathy. If there is anything we can do please ask.
May 2, 2007
To the Family and Friends of this Soldier:
I will stand in grief with this soldier's family to honor him. 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 guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Brent that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.
We lost our son SFC Brent A. Adams on 12/1/05 and it seems like yesterday. I wish so badly there were things I could say to you right now to make the pain you are feeling go away, but I know first hand there simply are no words that will bring you the comfort and peace your heart aches for. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you go through this tragedy moment by moment and 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 as our hearts both burst with pride and pain together.
I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally. While they can never be replaced, neither will they ever be forgotten. You must trust that sometime, someday the loving memories you have will help to sustain you and help you go on. This courageous soldier will forever 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 your 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 soldier and family who gave all and God Bless legacy.com for setting up this site where families can so quickly share their condolences and prayers with others like themselves.

I do not pretend to know how you feel in your time of sorrow. My son graduated from Kenton Ridge in 2005 and is also serving in Afghanistan with the 10th Mt Div. Ft. Drum, D-Company. He arrived at his post the same time your son did and is still there. These young men and women, our children, have given the ultimate gift of life for our country and they are the picture of a TRUE AMERICAN HERO. My heart and prayers are with you always. May God Bless you and keep you.

My heart and soul is so heavy with grief for you and your family. My God Cindy the pain you and Rick are going through I cannot imagine. I can remember talking about our kids every morning we worked together and I know what a proud and good mom you are. I cried for Jeremy and your family today and have been in shock about this tragedy. Cindy you are the only friend that I miss from Service Merchandise. Rick was always such a nice guy always had a smile when I saw him. I am praying for you guys as is Donna who is in the same state of shock. Jeremy was such a cute little guy when I knew him and he was a brave and handsome young man. If I can do anything for you please let me know. I will see you guys soon. Love Dale and Donna

Jeremy went to a school dance with my sister, Jessica Fry. They remained friends for a very long time. Jessica has since passed on a couple of years ago. Perhaps somehow they can both find comfort along the way. I send you my sincerest sympathies for your loss. Hold on to each other very tightly, the road ahead will be very difficult. Love is the only thing to see you through.

I would like to offer my condolences to the Greene family. Jeremy was an amazing individual and a truly unforgettable friend. I'll never forget our times spent at countless Shawnee football games, running aimlessly through the woods on Senoir day, or hanging out at Strange Brew when there was nothing better to do in town. Jeremy was someone I considered a best friend and will be missed more than words can describe. I extend my deepest sympathy.

Thank you and God Bless your family during their time of grieving. Grieving has no time limit, the family is forever touched.
We traveled 31 years with the U.S. Army including trips to Vietnam, etc.
We were born and reared Springfielders and I still love Ohio.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, I wish I could help in any way possible. He was always a sweet kid around me, I'm sorry I didn't get to see him as he got older. Please accept my condolences and my biggest thank you for allowing him to serve our country under any circumstances. He is one more soldier for my children to look up to and respect. I really wish I could help you. I love and miss you all. I wish we could have been reunited as friends under better circumstances. Again, I am so sorry to hear about this. He IS a good man!

Our thoughts and condolences are with you at this time. Jeremy was and is an inspiration to the students and staff at Shawnee High School and the surrounding community. It takes a special person to have the courage to enlist in the Armed Forces and be 'brave' enough to help keep our country safe. Thank you, Jeremy.

I feel lucky that I got the pleasure of meeting Jeremy. Although I only met him one time, I feel like I have known him my entire life. Cindy always talked about him, and I would always ask how he was doing. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his entire family. They, along with Jeremy will be in my thoughts and prayers.
