You will always be remembered as an American Hero. Greg Quillen You are miss by everyone that knew you. I still tell stories about you to friends. You will not be forgotten. Your memory lives on May 28, 2011 Marilee King For you my very dear brother. Every day you are missed and finally a part of you can rest for Bin Laden is dead. Our hearts are forever scarred with the loss of your light but your sacrifice is not in vain. Your girls grow more and more beautiful every day and the nieces and nephews know who you are. Our mom misses you greatly and waits for the day she will see you again. Rest well bro, because when we join you we are going to raise the roof. Jan 28, 2009 Raul Gonzales In Honor Of Alcott, King, Colnot and Buthot To my fallen soldiers from B 1/67 Armor, you guys are still in my thoughs almost everyday. I am lucky to be alive myself, rest in peace brothers. July 29, 2008 Sharon Draper It's hard to even express how sorry my family feels for your loss. This was the first that I knew about this web-site and I have to admit I was hesitant at first. I knew it would be a time to shed tears. My husband was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam 39 years ago and was killed. I have a son that is a great reminder of my husband. I guess I just want you to know that your son and husband-to-be and father will always be remembered as the years go by. Their's is the ultimate sacrifice and we honor them always for their lives and for giving it for all of us. We will pray for your family and the love you have for Eric. Pease know that me sharing my loss by know way undermines the loss of Eric, sometimes it is just a way of knowing you can go on and know that I believe you will be together again. May God bless you all and your lives together.
