Nate, I know I havent seen you in a long time, but you have always been a man who was the definition of role model. You quietly set an example and showed us all what it truly meant to be a good man, friend, brother, and american. You protected those who couldnt protect themselves. What humbles me most is that you did it silently, and never asked for anything in return. Believe me when I say that I will forever remember the example you have set. When I was younger, my father told me his golden rule to life, and now that I think back and reflect on it, I realize that he was speaking of you. He would say "Son, I want you to know that any man can do the right thing when in the public eye. It takes a true man to do the right thing when nobody is watching." I and everyone else who is still here mourning your loss will forever be in your debt. Love you bro. I hope theres pabst in heaven.
My family and I wish to express our sincerest condolences to the entire Reynolds-Madden family. As the military CAO it will be my Honor and privieledge to be there for you and help get you through this.
Rest in Peace, our Hero, Cpl Dumaw … your country, your state, your hometown, is so proud of you … Godspeed to your heartbroken family and unborn child, who will never know his daddy … I’m so sorry for all of you … As you came home, to Fairchild AFB, we were standing alongside the road, honoring your return …
Stand Tall, Stand Proud … An American Hero Has Come Home. Stand down, Cpl Joshua R Dumaw, your mission is now complete, may you rest in Honored, Eternal Peace …Sincerely,A Marine and Navy Mom,Frankie Taylor Fisher and Family
