Roger D. Castleberry Jr
BY Anonymous on Sep 26, 2009 | |  | Thank-you Dale for your sacrifice. I know your mother was waiting for you on the other side. I think I'm looking for his brother Don to tell him that my daughter Lori is also with them. She passed away in September 2003 and we haven't talked to him since January of that year. If you know him please have him call. We are in the same place but the number has changed but we're in the book. Lori also has a memorial site on Facebook. God Bless us all.

BY Anonymous on Aug 14, 2005 | | | | Hello. I'm a Marine with 3/25. I was wounded and sent home a few months ago from iraq, but I had the distinct pleasure and honor of serving with Castleberry. I met him in 29 Palms during the work up, and talked to him quite a bit. When we got to Kuwait, I was up his butt all the time asking him questions about Iraq and Kuwait, as this was his second deployment to Iraq. He sat down with me and answered all my silly questions and taught me a lot about what I was getting into. He was patient and intelligent, and he left a lasting impression on me as a caring individual, and a professional. I admired and respected him, and I am very very sorry I wont be able to thank him in person. God bless Castleberry, and his family.
LCpl. McGill, 3/25
