My Hero, first and foremost is my cousin Norman. At the age of 22 he had become more of a man then most men ever dream of becoming. He fought for his country, and died doing so. It wasn't something he was pressured into doing, it was something he had wanted to do---it was just the kind of man he was, he took pride in his country and was happy to be given the chance to protect us. He was the kind of kid/man that every parent hopes their child grows up to be. He was helpful, loving, caring, hard working, a tell it like it is kind of person. He did not speak----just to hear the sound of his voice--if he was saying something, it was something you needed to hear. He did not care what others thought of him, he was secure with the choices he had made, lived up to them and surpassed any hopes and dreams others had for him. Words cannot describe what the world loss on the 15th day of March 2009. Norman, I will regret not being able to have spent more time with you while you were alive, you have showed me so much about life, by living the life that you did, and doing so with honor and courage. You truly are an inspiration, a role model for young and old alike. You will never be forgotten, your legacy will live on within your son. A son who is lucky enough to have had you as a father. You Norman, are my hero, and I will hold you in the highest regard until the day that I die..We love you and miss you more than we could ever put into words. Love, Kelly & Leta Standerford, Schuyler and Baylor Nicholson
Thank you, Jesse for being my friend all of those years ago. I wish we hadn't lost touch. I still can't believe you're gone. I always planned on meeting up with you again. I think of you and your family every day. Thank you for sacrificing your life for us. I miss you! God Bless You!
Please accept our condolences on the loss of Staff Sgt Archie Taylor. No words can erase the sorrow, just know that so many have you in their thoughts and prayers. While we did not know Archie, our son served with him, and we are all part of the Marine Family. May Archie rest in peace.
God bless you and may he open his arms and welcome you home. You served proudly and my son is also a 3/8 Marine and i can promise you this that he and all 3/8 Marines will find the godless cowards and smile to you towards the heavens. May god bless this entire family as they struggle through this sad time. SEMPER FI
May god bless and open his arms and welcome you home. You are very deeply missed by the 3/8 family. My son is 3/8 all the way and i promise you he will do his best to seek out those godless cowards. Our hearts and prayers to the family. SEMPER FI
From your "distant" family in California.Robert Abeyta's children and their Mother send the deepest regards to the Abeyta family on their loss of Christopher.(Robert is Christopher's paternal grandfather Alfred's younger brother.)
Larry was my only brother...he was the best brother my sister and i could ever ask for. Ever since his death my family has fell apart. Its the sadest thing i will probably ever go through..sometimes i dont know how this happen or why? He loved the army and never regreted joining. i want to thank everyone for caring enough to make these websites..when i feel down, i come to the websites and it almost makes me feel a little better.
Stacy my heart is with you and your family. May God be with you with that special Marine that stayed with you until you made your journey back to your family. Your family is so proud of you Stacy! God Bless you and all the Service Men and Women of the United States of America.
You did great things during your short life. Your memory will live on in my heart forever. You are an inspiration for me not to take for granted everyday that I have with my loved ones.
