Fallen Heroes of Operation Enduring Freedom

"I went through basic training in Edgin's platoon and was assigned to alpha company in Edgin's battalion and was at FOB Tillman, a couple hundred miles away, when I heard that he died. I drank with Edgin, I worked with him, and I played with him, he was a phenomenal individual. I just want you to know that the big friendly teddy bear still is remembered in North Dakota by a former infantry soldier and now a college student. Long live the brave."
Mark Thompson of Minot, ND

"I was his baby-sitter(and sat for his 2 older brothers) when I was a teen-ager. He was such a nice, funny, sweet kid and although I lost contact with his family after I married I have no doubt that he grew up to be a wonderful man.
I'm proud of him for serving but so sad that that he wasn't on Earth longer than he was.
I love you, K."
