"As a former professor of Bernard's, I want to express my condolences to Bernard's family. I have extremely fond memoires of him from the University of La Verne, where he took my history courses and where I taught until 2001. A curious, sharp mind, Bernard was one of the brightest and most sincere students I've ever taught. I feel a profound sense of loss."

"TO THE CORPUZ FAMILY
I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY HOW VERY SORRY THAT YOU SON BERNARD HAS FALLEN BUT I CAN SAY THIS HE DID NOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. MY SELF AND YOUR SON WERE CLOSE BECAUSE HE WOULD COME TALK TO ME ON HOW THINGS WERE AND HOW PROUD HE WAS TO SERVE WITH ME AND MY FELLOW SOLDIER'S. I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS VERY PROUD TO SERVE WITH YOUR SON. MYSELF AND DOC MULGARA DONE EVRYTHING WITH IN OUR POWER TO KEEP HIM ALIVE AS LONG AS WE DID. THE GRATITUDE THAT I ONLY WANTED WAS TO SEE HIM COME UP TO ME AND SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT I HAD DONE. MYSELF AND DOC BREATHED AND PUMPED HIS HEART FOR 50 MIN. OR MORE. I THANK YOU MR. AND MRS. CORPUZ FOR LETTING YOUR SON TO SERVE IN OUR PROUD ARMY TODAY. THAT DAY WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED WAS THE DAY I KNEW WHAT IT MENT TO BE A NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER. THIS IS MY SORROW TO YOU. BECAUSE IT HURTS ME THE MOST BECAUSE I AM A PARENT MYSELF. I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE SEEN YOUR SON ONE LAST TIME TO SAY BYE! YOUR SON WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN IN MY MIND AND MY HEART."

"Breeenaad, I will miss you! We only had great times, and that is what I will always remember you for.
I thank God for your friendship and your smile.

I will always remember your beautiful long black hair that you had when I met you in Brandt Hall @ ULV. I will never forget how you would play "Eye of the Tiger" every single day to get yourself going!!! That song has special meaning to me.

Our security here comes at the highest price. Thank you for your life and your bravery.
You are very loved and will be missed by many."

"Corpuz, I heard at drill last month about the convoy attack. It was the first time that someone I knew on a personal level was killed since this all began on 9/11, and it was a really strange feeling. Thanks for the good times, and for introducing me to Drakken. I keep struggling with the decision to volunteer for deployment, so help me make the right decision. See you when I see you."
