Thought about you today, how you made time to chat to my son about one PE teacher at highschool who you thought was cool. Your light still shines.

I find myself thinking about you more often lately. Every time I here Miranda Lambert's song "Over You" it reminds me of you. I miss our talks and more so those moments where no words were needed at all. I find myself talking to you some nights and wonder if you ever hear me. I've had quite a few people pass away since you've gone and though I loved them dearly/they will be missed none have had the same affect on me as you have. I hope some of them meet you up there. Maybe then they'll realize why you meant so much to me. Love/miss you. <3

Yesterday was just as hard as every other year. I have to remind myself that you are not here. I really miss you. I have finally made it to Ft. Hood and visited the memorial they have there for you. Did not think I would react they way I did. I guess it was final to see your name on stone, guess I realized my "Moose" is gone. Every time I need you I look down at my chest and a little to the left, thats where you will forever be. I love you always.

September was tough on me and the thought of you not being here makes me sick. Thank you for being by Rick's side. Everytime I look at Austyn's lil face I see you. She is soooo big and beautiful, you would of fell in love with her. Danni is and has been great. She is coming to El Paso on December 14th to spend some time with me. I plan to go to Australia with her and make it to the beach for you. There I will finally take your bracelet off and throw it into the ocean. I promised I would get you to the beach some way or another babe. I love and miss you always.

Christian, My Love,
Yet another year has passed, and I dreamed of you again. It was like reliving the night you died all over again, I have finally begun to move on, and I still feel guilty, I hope you would like him though, he is so much like you, and yet so different. Every night I wish I could see you again, Every night I miss you even more than the last. I talked to Danni, and she helped me settle a few things internally, and I love you still. With every second, every minute, You will always be first in my heart. If I ever Have a child, his name will be Christian, and that is for you. I love you Christian, I always have, and I always will.

My dearest Christian,another year has passed since that horrible day and yet it hasn't become any easier to deal with the loss. You are missed dearly, much more than you know. Some days I laugh/smile when I remember the times we spent together, on other days I cry because I miss talking to you/hearing your voice/laugh. I miss seeing your face and feeling your arms around me-you always had a way of making me feel safe. I haven't/probably will never meet anyone else like you. You may be gone, but never forgotten. My heart will always carry you with me no matter where I go.

I dreamed of you again last night. It was your laugh that caught my attention, I turned and you were right behind me. You saw the look on my face and started laughing again in that way that always made everyone around you want to at least crack a grin. I ran into your arms and you kissed the top of my head, then pinched my nose like you used to. I'd like to take it as a sign or a blessing. I love you Moose.

To Moose's family,
I can only now talk about that night. Two other friends, I being one were seposed to have been in his truck that night. But we were tasked out for other things. I say friends because every one loved him and we all became friends and family. Every time I pick up my M14 my hands shake and I think of moose. I will never forget working at the prison in Mosul with him. In our down time We would go out and shoot rocks and such at long range. We call a target that we had to hit at a unknown ranges. When I would get it on the first shot he would look at me look at the rifle back at me and reply."How? Oh damn you! Cheater!" Then it was his turn to fire.We had some good times. I will always miss him. He was a good man and for that you should be proud. You raised a good man.

Well, yet another one of your Birthdays has passed. Another one that those who knew/loved you spent going over memories of birthdays shared with you being there front and center with that infectious smile/laugh of yours lighting/filling the room. Since our birthdays are a week apart I'll continue our tradition of lighting/blowing out a candle in honor of your memory/special day. One day I just may be a guest at one of your celebrations up there and will be able to feel the warmth of your smile again. Miss and love you bunches with all my heart.

Thank you Danni for the thoughtful message. Moose would love that you did that for me. I am here a year later with the same broken heart and the same beautiful memories. I wear your bracelet proudly and support our troops in hopes that they all come back home safe. To your family I would like to say hello and hope all is going well with you. I thank god for your parents who brought you into this world and allowing me to meet you and spend the time we did together. I still hope to meet them someday...I will go visit you and lay you to rest when I am ready. just not yet. Love and miss you :(

It's hard to believe you departed this earth over a year ago. I still think aboutyou as often as I always have since we first met. Some days I remember your smile or your laugh and I feel comforted knowing you're no longer in harms way. Don't get me wrong, I will always be proud of you and all those who served/are still serving. However, I can't help for feeling sad/sometimes angry for knowing I'll never get to spend any more time with you or hear your voice on the phone or be able to be here to hold/comfort you whenyou need a shoulder to cry on. Some days memories just are not enough.but they're all I have and I'll treasure them always. 'Til I no longer cry when I hear certain songs on the radio or until I see your smiling face up there in Heaven, just know I will be missing you. Love you much.

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 Christian, 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 wish so badly that I could touch your face, that you could kiss my forehead, that you could hold me just one more time. I wish so badly that I could hear your voice say my name, that I could see your smile really big when you used to see me coming. I wish I could drive up to your apartment parking lot and see you there waiting for me. I wish babe...I love you with all my heart and when you told me you were leaving you held me tight, close to you and just let me cry on your shoulder, we shared many tender moments together. Never did get to meet your parents or sister. I remember talking with you on the phone when you went to visit your parents for those two weeks before you had to leave and you asked, "What's wrong babe?" I had to be strong for you and let you go....you promised you would come back....you didn't, you didn't babe....I think of you so much I feel you around me. I smell you still. I know you were there that day I found out. Some day I will see you again and can't wait to get that beautiful kiss on my forehead...A year is approaching and I don't think I can let you go yet. The way things were left stays in my mind, haunting me. I know you meant well, I know you loved me and did not want to leave me. I know all this but it still hurts me to remember and think about what you must of been going through before you left to IRAQ. You were my giant and me your little angel as you would say, having your arms around me made me feel protected. Having you up in heaven makes me feel more protected than ever. I love and miss you Moose always.....always and Forever...

It hardly seems like it's been over 2 months since you left this earth. I just wanted to send out a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" for I'm sure they are having a celebration in your honor today up there in heaven. Enjoy for you totally deserve it. Your memory will live on forever in my heart. Today will forever be marked on my calendar for had it not been for this day there would be no YOU. With all my love.

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.

To the Wilson family. I had written before on this site but I was unaware your family was from Canada. Our stories parallel a bit. My son was also killed in Iraq May 6th and we are also from Canada. He was 28 yrs old when he was killed. We are from the Barrie Ontario area and Joel's dad and aunts still live up there. Joel had the same feeling as your son. He was not all that excited about getting his citizenship but knew he needed it to continue on in the US after his tour was up. Joel was in the process of doing his citizenship papers while he was in Iraq. I am also a registered nurse and came down to the US in 1993 with my two boys when they were young to find employment.
Joel had similar feelings as your son in regards to the war and it struck a cord reading his story. I pray for your family and know that you are all feeling the highs and lows of this ordeal as I have gone through. Feel free to contact me at any time. GOD Bless your family

May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. My heart was touched by the many wonderful/beautiful things written about you. Lee you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten. I live close to ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY and I visit there frequently. Each time I am at ANC I will visit/honor Lee.
I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

My heart/prayers go out to Christian's family. No words can express how saddened I was to hear about Christian via the news. My heart sank to my stomach and a moment of disbelief hit me at first and then it sunk in. Your son/brother was truly a blessing. His smile could brighten even your worst day. I hadn't seen Christian since 2005 and the last I heard from him was when he called to wish me Merry Christmas/Happy New Year that year. I moved/my number changed shortly after that so we kind of lost touch. I called on his birthday (2006) but I never heard back from him. Christian was a warm/loving person and I feel blessed to have known him even if it was for just a short while. Even though sorrow may feel your heart please take comfort in knowing that he is now in a safe place waiting for the day you will all reunite. There is nothing I can say/do to take your pain away but my prayers go out to you and may they bring you peace in the days to come. Christian will live on in our hearts for eternity. With much love....God Bless.

To: The family of SGT Wilson, Lee C.
I am very sorry about the loss of your son. I was deeply saddened by it when I found out about your sons death. Lee (SGT Wilson to me) was a really nice kid. I was stationed with Lee when I was part of 1-9 Cav. I was a mechanic for his platoon for only about 9 months but it was long enough to build a friendship when I was assigned to 1-9 Cav. I would like to come and pay my last respects to him. I wish I knew where he will be buried so I could do that some time. He now will always be in my thoughts because right now I am currently stationed in Iraq in Mosul. I will always pray for your family. I will be leaving Iraq in about mid to late December I can not wait till I leave. I will be so happy and glad and so will my family because they really hate me being here and they are worried about me being here every single day. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family each and every night before I go to bed.
Yours truly,

I heard about Christian on the Television here in Raleigh N.C. Though the name Christian is not uncommon, it is still fairly unique so I was saddened.
I was in high school with Christian in 1993. We had Ms. Crawfords math class together. We were not best friends but we talked outside of class. His smile went off to one side of his face when he smiled. He and this guy named David talked about video games a bunch. Christian was very care free, surely an individual who marched to his own beat but certainly inquisitive of everything.
Years later, I saw him in 2001 on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill and he said to me in an excited tone, "Hey Rainey Guess What I did?" I said "You Joined the ARMY". He was quite surprised and inquisitive about how I knew so much about his personal life after so many years. I told him that My buddy was the recruiter that brought him into the ARMY and my buddy and I had talked about him a bit. His smile still went off to the side of his face. He had not changed much. Still excited about life and the adventure ahead.
I'll personally never forger Christian. His memory will live on with me for as long as I am here on this earth. I thank him and his family for how they have served our country even as Canadian citizens. Freedom is truly a global concept. I'm truly glad to have had Christian in my life .

I served with Christian with the 2-5 Cav, i could not believe it when our old squad leader informed me of the news. Christian I am sorry that I was not able to be there at your side as your battle again.
If anyone can please inform me of the details to his funeral service please forward them.

I served with SGT Wilson most recently in Mosul. We did numerous missions together when his platoon was at Combat Outpost Eagle in Mosul. I enjoyed his companionship and humor greatly. I'll miss him beyond words can express.
I'm living in Salisbury, North Carolina now and would like to know his funeral service details if anyones knows. This site states his hometown as Chapel Hill. Is that Chapel Hill, NC ? If so I would like to attend his service.
SGT Lee Wilson will live in my heart and mind forever.

This is very hard for me and since my return from Iraq myself I have become unusually emotional. But I heard of Christian's death today from a mutual friend who confirmed it was him. I grieve with you today and feel as though I have lost one of my own Soldiers. You see when you hear that a young man that you met at Belk's Department Store while he was a security guard and recruited in the Army has lost his life serving, it hits home. I was Christian's Recruiter in 2000. I remember how excited he was and full of questions while he awaited his ship date in Januarary to basic. He wanted to know everything he could before he shipped off so he would be the best at his job. I always searched for Patriots to serve and Christian was one that I just knew would make a fine Soldier and Leader someday! I serve my Country because of a "calling" I felt deep inside me and Christian shared that same "calling". I was very proud to know him and I am devastated to loose a Brother in Arms. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, loved ones and friends of SGT. Lee Christian Wilson.

I have just learned of the death of Sergeant Lee C. Wilson. As the State Chaplain of the Georgia Sons Of The American Revolution, I speak for our President, Charlie A. Newcomer, III and more than 1,400 SAR members around the State of Georgia in humbly expressing the condolences of a grateful Society. Wrapped in the integrity of service to our nation and the inestimable values of duty, honor and country, your American hero stood on a wall of freedom for us all. His life and his love of country epitomized every attribute of patriotism the Sons Of The American Revolution hold dear. And, as Americans, we could never repay the debt we owe him ..!! Nor the debt we owe you… his family!!!

I am writing to offer my condolences to your family over the loss of your HERO Sgt Lee C Wilson. I lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a loved one so dear.
When things settle down, I recommend that you contact a man named Michael Reagan @
www.michaelgreaganartist.com
He will draw one portrait of the fallen soldier. He does this for free and will draw any picture of your choosing. He has drawn presidents and other celebrities. My husband and I got one and it has helped me with the healing process. Michael is a truly gifted artist that captures the very essence of the person he draws. I look at my picture everyday and it gives me a connection that I cannot explain.
I pray you will be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength in this time.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
GOD Bless you and your family. Your soldier was a true American Hero and we are all very proud of his service.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family 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, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) 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!!
