Dear Dillon,
Wondering again how life would be if you were still with us. Much has happened and it saddens me to know you have missed so much. Your big sister is doing great. You have a nephew and three nieces. Your baby brothers are adults. Your mom and I are well. I wish I could hear your responses when we sit together and talk. The silence is lonely! I miss you son.
Rest well until we meet again.
Love you
Dad

Dear Dillon,
Another year slides past. I often wonder how my life would be different if you had been here physically these past 10 years. Ten years...the ache still pervades every part of my body and soul when I think of you. You are missed every day but know your loss has brought strength to your family; a family that I trust will remain true to each other throughout our lives.
Rest will son and know you are not forgotten.
Until we meet again...
Love you,
Dad

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." – Ronald Reagan
Thinking of Dillon today, and his friends and loved ones left behind. It's been nine years tomorrow and so much has changed since then.
Dillon was always very patient with me and encouraged me to push myself to be a better runner in a way that has left a lasting impression on me. He was the kindest person I have ever met and expressed faith in me when I couldn't do it for myself. It was in his memory that I twice ran the Army 10-miler which is something I never dreamed I would have accomplished.
To the Jutras family, thank you so much for all your love and support the last few years. You always made me feel like I was a part of your family.
With love,

Thank you Dillon. Thank you Jutras family. Each day I awaken in an abundance of freedom because of the selflessness of Dillon and so many others like him. I will forever and ever be grateful for him and his courage and his love for others before himself. I pray my little life can be even a simple living memorial to his beautiful life and his sacrificial death.
Infinite love,

Ah my son…another Independence Day approaches and we the living celebrate our freedoms. Freedom is not absolute but obtained in varying levels of access. Here in the great USA, we have a government that decides upon our rules and regulations, but how can one complain. If we look abroad at the lack of freedoms witnessed in much of the world today, we see that our freedom is tremendous, even if not perfect. Many do not recognize the freedoms we have and others simply take the freedoms we have for granted. Many do not see the value of sacrificing oneself in the pursuit of freedom because that ultimate sacrifice means you are not here to enjoy the freedom you fought so hard for. But for those that cry foul, I want to remind them that those who give all in the belief of freedom seldom are fighting for themselves. They are fighting for us. They are fighting for their mom, their dad, their sister, their brother, their son, their daughter, their family and their friends. That is the ultimate gift they have provided us…the giving of their life and soul to the heavens so that our life and soul can remain here on earth, with those we love, with the freedoms we enjoy.
Ah my son…I appreciate what you have given to me although I wish the price had not been so heavy. Let's trust this great nation remembers the sacrifice of so many this Independence Day as they celebrate this 4th of July.
To you my son, rest well and thank you.
Until we meet again.
Love,
Dad

Many miles have been spent running with your image on our shirts… Home of the Free, Because of the Brave. 8 years of Army Ten Milers' and who knows how many miles of training. Just yesterday, your brothers ran like world class athletes. Your Father & Mother, Uncle Steven & Aunt Kim also ran. This time it was a Half-Marathon. Once again, your image is with us and you are always in our hearts. We will never forget!

Dillon,
It's so crazy to think it's been eight years that you've been gone. The missing you never goes away. No matter how much time passes it still hurts to try to wrap my head around the fact that you're gone for real. I hope you can see how much everyone's grown up, I know you'd be so proud if you could. Your whole family is so brave and so so strong. Something so terrible couldn't have happened to a more wonderful and precious family as your parents and siblings (and niece and nephew too!) but I know that somehow it's all in God's plan. Just know that you're constantly missed and forever loved by so many people.
And you have so many people that can't wait to see you again one day.
I love you and miss you so much.

Son,
Eight years...the pain of your loss makes it seem like yesterday. We ran another Army Ten-Miler in your honor and the support from family and friends was terrific. To know so many people would help us get your face out there really was inspiring. You would be proud of your 60 min and 67 min race-time brothers. We miss you every day but try to lessen the sorrow by remembering how great a gift you were for your 20 short years. Rest peaceful knowing you are loved and remembered.
Until we meet again.
Love,
Dad

October 29, 2005....I felt my deepest sadness that day. Over these past 8 years, that sadness has mixed with pride - I experience a deep sense of pride every time I have the honor to share your story. In your too short 20 years and 27 days, you exhibited selflessness and courage that most will never exhibit in their lives that will be lived much longer. It really doesn't make sense...you truly were the good dying young. Through your death, though, many of your family members and friends have grown closer and have chosen to work through their unfathomable sadness by serving others. You would be extremely proud of many!
Just 9 days ago, several gathered to run for you - your memory and your honor. Every year is sweeter than the last. I love being a part of carrying on a tradition you and your family began.
I remember...yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thank you, precious Dillon. I'll see you one day in Paradise.
Infinite love,
Aunt Ruby

"It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom." Galatians 5:13-14 (the Message)

Dillon,
The days pass by but we never forget and the pain of your loss will never leave us. But...knowing you died in such an honorable way doing what you felt was true and just, reduces that pain a little and helps us continue in your absense. Most of the trival daily skirmishes of our lives, when we actual pause and consider, are nothing compared to what you had to face that day in Iraq back in October 2005. Please forgive my stupidity as I live my life. As I go through life and take my many missteps, my memories of you and your sacrifice helps me walk true again. Thank you for being you.
I love you son. Until we meet again.

You defended the very essence of what this country represents: Liberty, Freefom and Justice for all.

To Dillon's family, I did not know Dillon, but I do know Ruby, and she has shared part of his story with me. As a military wife of 12 years, our family is all too familiar with the pain of losing a loved one to war.

I pray that God will bring your family a special peace today that can only be explained by His presence.

Hi Dillon,
October is in full swing with yours and Hunter's birthday now past us and Dustin's on the way. We enjoyed family and friends this past weekend for the Army Ten-Miler (ATM) and interestingly, Dustin ran the same time (69 mins) that you did in your first ATM race. We miss you greatly but gain some satisfaction knowing so many people take time to remember you. The support we received this weekend to get your face and name out to the masses was tremendous. We appreciate every one of the runners and supporters who wore your likeness for the race and on your birthday. We will never forget you and will always love you.
Until we meet again, rest well!
Love,

I remember you every Memorial Day. I remember the talks we had about the Army. You watched your classmates go on ahead of you,and the passing of fellow JROTC alum Bihn Le did not deter your dream of being a Soldier. There was a whole group of you...You were all going to be Rangers, because "Rangers Lead The Way". I am glad you did realize your dream. I mourn that you are not still living it today. Today I found your picture with a mini-bio on the wall of heroes they erected here in the Desert. It just didn't seem like enough, so I printed out some of the more in depth bios and some of the remembrances I found about you online. They will be there until the crew packs the display away until next year. At least this year people might read and find an insight into what the U.S. really lost when you passed. I promise to drink my near-beer tonight in your honor.
