  Dear Staff Sgt. Reinke~~I am gratful you chose to go when others said the cause was wrong. You did not turn your back in order to help some way bring about peace. I am grateful for you because tonight I can sit down and eat a warm meal. I am grateful to you because of your sacrifice, I can say, " I do not like war." This without worrying that my door will be kicked in and I will be dragged away.~~Mostly I am grateful to you because of your sacrifices, I am reminded once again of what it is I have, for this I am grateful to you, because I can go out and say absolutely the dumbest things, and do so, because being dumb is not a crime.~~

I am grateful to you, because I get to sit down with family and friends and have a meal in peace. I am also grateful to you, because if I think a certain politician is a fool....I can think it without being lined up against a brick wall and shot.~~There are many things Dear Staff Sgt. Reinke that I am grateful to you, because of the fact you did not say no. Peace be with yours and most of all I salute you, because, well I am grateful to you Dear Staff Sgt. Reinke.~~ Cordie Griffin, Louisville, Ky.

  American Soldier---They ask him why he's leaving, why he's shipping off to fight. They fail to see what's on the line, all their freedoms, all their rights.~~Comprehension is beyond their grasps, that someone's got to go. And while every breath may be his last, no fear, no doubt will he ever show.~~~Because he knows that if he dies in some far off foreign land, that his valiant efforts may save lives of his countrymen, family and friends.~~And that girl's picture in his pocket, though how he longs to hold her, will forever be carried in the heart of this true American Soldier.---

George Kessler U.S. Navy Retired.

  Empty Boots---Dog tags hang over boots laced up, a bayonet stabs the ground. Kevlar perched on a 16 butt, fellow soldiers gather around.---Warriors in their battle gear, weapons at their side, bow their heads as words are said, to honor one who died.~~An American hero gave his life Defending Liberty. The price he paid was gladly done, for country and family.~~Those empty boots do not support a body or soul. No more they'll run for cover or some loved one dear to hold.~~As one by one, soldiers pass, this tribute to their own. Thoughts fly to their families across the foam.~~ Now salute, as TAPS is played, blink tears out of your eyes. The ache you feel inside of your heart is Freedom's painful price.~~Mike Moss, Louisville, Ky

  Ballad of a Soldier....I am a Soldier. My name is Freedom. I walk in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. I fear no Evil. I stand for courage, compassion, dignity and life.---My love is Democracy. I am the light in the darkness. I am the sword of the meek. I do not hate.---My code is Justice. I do not pale in the face of danger. I will not turn a blind eye. I do not tolerate transgression.

---I am an Eagle. I empower the weak. I march boldly. I cry quietly. I sleep lightly. I love unconditionally. Call me in the night, I will come. Pray for me in darkness, I will bring my lamp. Whisper my name and I will hear.---I am the blood of innocence. I am not one face, but many. I am a mother, a father, a son, a daughter. I am no one and I am everyone. I am a soldier and freedom is my name.--- I cannot imagine losing my beloved child, let alone because of war. My heart goes out to you.---Marcella O'Nan

  A life well-lived doesn't end any more than the music ends, it echoes through time with the whispers of beauty and grace. if we listen, we can hear the encore with our hearts, for the song plays on, just as love lives on. Just remember that grief cannot take away the happiness you shared, that sorrow will fade in time, but love remains forever.

Chloe Coan Louisville, Ky. U.S.A.

  There beside a grave she stands. A folded flag clutched in her hands. A silent teardrop on her face, her brave young child, has entered grace. She does not hear the sermon said, just memories run through her head. The child she held so long ago, the child with faith she let go. The child who heard the nation's call and in the end gave it all, without fear or thoughts of self, thoughts of freedom and little else. The bugle sounds TAPS in the wind, a mournful song it does send. A reminder to us all, that for freedom, this price was paid, and her sweet young to rest was laid.----Deepest and Most Heart-felt Sympathy----Nikki Coan, Louisville, Ky.-----U.S.A. all the way.

  The tide recedes but leaves bright seashells on the sand, the sun goes down but the gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops & yet it echoes on in sweet refrains......for every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.----I am sorry for your loss. May you find peace, strength, and love.----Norma Coan, Louisville, Ky.

  Smile when you're sad. Love what you got and always remember what you had. Always forgive. Learn from your mistakes. But never regret. People change and things go wrong. But always remember that my love for you goes on and on.

  No person is ever truly alone. Those who live no more, whom you loved, echo still within your thoughts, your words, your hearts. And what they did, and who they were, becomes a part of all that you are, forever----Dorothy Bowling Louisville Ky.

  For all that knew me, know that I now have no pain. I have lived a life that has brought me no shame. I have lived and loved, that you can plainly see. I have gone to a better place. So, please don't grieve for me.

  I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend, he referred to the dates on his tombstone from beggining to end.---He noted that first came the date of his birth and spoke the following date with tears, but he sad, what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.---For that dash represents all the time he spent alive on earth, and now only those that loved him knew what that little line is worth.----For it matters not how much we own....the cars....the house....the cash....What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.---So think about this long and hard, are there things you'd like to change ?---If we could just slow down enough to consider what is true and real, and always try to understand the way other people feel.---Be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love people in our lives like we have never loved before.---If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile, remembering this special dash may only last a while.---So, when your eulogy is being read with your lifes actions to be rehashed, would you be proud of the things about how you spent your dash?

Thank you Staff Sgt. Reinke for Defending Freedom

  I wanted to find some words on a e-card. That would help you when life gets too hard. When deep in your heart there's no trace of joy or happiness. Some words that would comfort you----when late at night----the sadness and grief returns.----When you are too tired to fight. The tears that flow so often it seems that you will run dry.----And life gets so tough that you feel like you just want to cry. Or, at least hide somewhere from the unbearable. Someplace you can rest until you can find some joy again.----I wish, I knew what the words are that you so desperately need to hear----that will help and heal and remove some of the tears. What are the words that will lighten the load ? I wish I had a secret code.----If only I knew the words to say----to encourage and comfort you in some way. I do not know the words, but this I can do. I will pray to the Father for you.----Genetta Griffin, Gulf Shores, Alabama.

  Tattered around the edges, and faded now with time; memories that linger still, are what he left behind. Like a precious package in a secret room; each a memory, a treasure, a family heirloom. On rare and quiet occassion, the package opens wide ;

revealing then the memories, that nestle there inside faces etched in memories like a photo from the past; each snapshot printed in the heart, and memories that last.~~Worn and ragged photographs, so faded now with time; yet the lasting love deep in your heart , is what he left behind.~~Love, Hugs and Butterfly kisses. Nikki Clay Age:10 from Kentucky

  Don't think of Gavin as gone away, his journey has just begun. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one.~~Just think of him as resting from sorrow and tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, were there are no days and years.~~Think of how he must be wishing that you could know today, how nothing but your sadness can really pass away.~~And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched and he was loved so much.~~Stevie Coan Louisville Ky.

I'll never forget her. She was the teacher who had lunch with the kids in her classroom so everyone had someone to be with. She made my school experience amazing. I will never forget her.. I love you Mrs. Cobb. Sincerely, Forever in my thoughts, Alyssa (Viau) Capone

SPC Polley died almost two decades ago so I don't know if this message will be seen. In honor of Memorial Day, my agency hands out cards with names of those who have fallen. This year, 2023, I received the card for SPC Polley and was inspired to look up more on him. I am thankful for his service and sacrifice. My condolences to his family. He is not forgotten.

Love you and miss you always. Since you been gone it has been hard for everyone. I know you loved what you did, and I want to thank you for our freedom.

Money comes and go so it's not worth losing you.


Christopher D Young

I have never forgotten his sacrifice. I would like to share that the greatest memory I had of Chris is that he would speak highly of his mom and how much she meant to him. Chris was a strong minded person and looked out for other. He was kind and friendly the he made friends with everyone. Chris was truly a great man! I sincerely apologize for not sharing sooner. but would like to express that Chris's memory will never be forgotten! though he is not with us he will always be in spirit! If this message gets to Christopher's mother I she could know she raised a great man and for that I thank you.

James David Parker

I knew James David Parker as "Dave" when he lived in Solon Ohio. We met when I moved into town from out of state. He and his group of friends were a year or two older than me. Dave was a bright beacon of hope and joy to me. I was an unsure young man in a strange place. Dave introduced me to many people and ensured his friends always saved me a seat in the lunchroom. I have fond memories of him and his friends during that time. I doubt so many people would have been as wonderful toward me without Dave's incredible kindness. I've never forgotten his kindness. I hope to be able to pay it forward someday.


Tyler O. Griffin

Condolences to the family. Freedom is not free, it cost this man's life. Thank you is not enough. Grieving is not enough for your loss though it is all we have, the Sandoval Family
