Master Sgt. David A. Scott

David A. Scott Obituary

The first time Master Sgt. David A. Scott joined the military, he was drafted into the Army to serve in Vietnam. But when he returned _ serving 12 years as a Marine and more than a decade in the Air Force Reserve _ it was by choice. During the conflict in Iraq, he served at the U.S. Embassy in Doha, Qatar, helping to grant diplomatic clearances and ship equipment to the troops. The 49-year-old assistant chief of information systems died July 20 of a brain aneurysm in Doha. The Union, Ohio, resident was based at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. "Everybody loved him," Debra Scott said of her husband, whom she called "a real nice guy." He enjoyed watching football and making friendly bets with family members on NFL games, she said. He also liked hunting and fishing.

David is one of my long lost heroes that I have been looking for. As Ohio Coordinator of the National Project Home of the Brave Quilts, we give quilts made by sewers in our states in honor and memory of our Heroes! I would love to send one to you Debra in memory of your husband. You can request one on our website: www.homeofthebravequilts.com or simply email me with your address. [email protected]

If you know his parents address they would receive one as well.

Dear Debra,
David was a true military man, serving his country in various ways through several decades. You must be so proud of him. I belong to the Prayer Shawl Ministry at my church in Greenhills (Cincinnati), Ohio, and we belong to the national Prayer Shawls for Fallen Soldiers (PS4FS). We send prayer shawls to family members of fallen soldier heroes just to show that we have not forgotten them and to show our appreciation for all they have done for us. If we can send you a prayer shawl in honor and memory of David, please contact me. We would be honored to do that. Thank you and God Bless You.

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 David, 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.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Master Sgt Scott. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this loss strength and peace. I hope that Master Sgt Scott knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Master Sgt Scott!

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer 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 (KIA on 07/06/07) 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!!

As an Air Force wife, nothing makes me more proud than to see great men such as MSGT. Scott, dedicate their life to the armed forces. Thank you sir, for giving the ultimate sacrifice to preserve life as I know it. It gives me great comfort knowing that when I tuck my 3 small children into bed, that there are many others like you, that have given themselves to keep them safe. My thanks will never be enough. May God take you in his hands and shine down on your loved ones. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Sincerely, Shannon Dorschner
