Know the line has held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell.... August 20, 2009 Sarah (Schmude) Arriaga I served with SPC David J. Ramsey In Mosul Iraq from Oct. 2005 until May 2006, David was my best friend. We both worked the same shift and the same ward. We would often walk to midnight chow together, or go to use the phones together....Dave always made sure that you were ok. Hed come knock on the door and say come on lets go to the phones, or lets go use the internet. He was such a caring person. I wish I had gotten to say good bye. If it wasnt for david, im not sure id have gotten out of bed some days. He just had a way of making you feel better even on the worst of days. I remember one particular evening dave and I decided we would go get midnight chow for ourselves and the others working our ward....IT WAS DOWN POORING OUTSIDE! We got to the motor pool wich we had to go through to get to the chow hall....we were shin deep in water. We laughed all the way to the chow hall. I will NEVER forget david. I cant wait to see him again up in heaven one day. He was! a great soldier, and he loved his family sooo much. I miss you Ramsey! Sept 23. 2008 Genesa David, Just spent the last 5 days in Washington D.C. at the White House Commission, 'Time of Remembrance' ceremony. I represented you and made sure other families of the fallen were told stories of who you were when you were alive, not lingering on the way you died. You were an amazing man...husband, best friend. Loving, loyal, and a great friend to everyone you encountered. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. Even 2 yrs later.. Oh! We were presented a Gold Medal of Remembrance for you and your sacrifice for your country. The military has you as a casualty as war, after reviews of your medical records. I'll always love you and miss you...no matter what. You'll always have a special place in my heart, 'our' children's hearts, and my family's (the in-laws). Always, Genesa Proud Widow of SPC David J Ramsey Sept 21, 2008 Brian Wiech My name is SGT Brian Wiech and I would like to share some of my memories of David. David and I were room mates at the 47th CSH prior to and during deployment to Iraq in October 2005 to August 2006. I remember a lot of time spent in Iraq where we would talk about our days working in the hospital, and the patients that we would encounter. The times that we would talk in our room about back home and our families. I remember the laughing and the crying. Talking about the good times and the bad. I remember us yanking each other out of bed when the mortars would be coming in or when we would hear that overhead speaker say "Mass Casualty". I remember David as a caring and compassionate person. I remember a man who loved his family and his wife. I remember the last words he said to me when he was evacuated from Iraq. "Don't worry, I will see you when you get home". I will take those words with me for the rest of my life until I am home in heaven... Thank you David for being the best friend I could ask for during our time in Iraq, Brian |
