"To the Eggers Family and loved ones, I am proud to say that I served with Dan in Eastern Afghanistan in 2003 OEF. Dan and my team conducted many joint missions during our time together in that remote place. He was always happy and upbeat, making our tough days pleasant. He became a friend during this deployment. I've visited his resting place at Arlington to say "Goodbye to a True Fallen Hero". Be proud of his service and sacrifice. I know I left there a better Soldier, and more importantly, a better person, due to the time we served together."

"CPT Eggers and Family,
I just wanted to say that I think about you and your family all of the time. My fondest memory being Christmas 2003 when you and your husband hosted a party for Alpha Detachment (PSB). Both you and your husband made us all feel absolutely loved and like family. I truly appreciate the sacrifice your family and husband have made for all of us. I'm sure the boys are continuing to grow into handsome, intelligent young men. May God continue to bless and watch over you and your family. We love you, Tamera Cameron(Taveras), Mikayla, Jalen and Jordan (the twins)."

"I am currently stationed at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan. Last Friday I participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the memorial for Dan Eggers and a Citadel muster/rolecall. Seven Citadel graduates who are posted in the area, (I'm Class of '79) attended as well a large number of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from the Camp. It was a beautiful, warm day and the wreath was adorned with Citadel blue, very fitting for the occasion. I knew about Dan before I came here but hearing his story at the ceremony was very moving. I would like to thank Dan's family for their sacrifice to the people of Afghanistan and to our Nation. His memory is not forgotten. We at Camo Eggers are reminded of Dan's sacrifice each day as we walk past his memorial and the flags of the nations who serve here."

"To Dan's family,
First I am currently stationed at Camp Eggers and I will be redeploying home this week. I wanted to write this letter to Dan’s family ever since I arrived here on 23 February 2008. It has been a long year, but I know in my heart that it has been a long four years for Dan’s family. It was amazing to find out that Dan was a 1997 Citadel graduate and he was in Echo Company. I graduated the Citadel in 1991 and I was in Echo Company as well. My heart and prayers go to Dan and his family. Every time I pass his memorial at Camp Eggers, I would spend time thinking of Dan, his sacrifice, his wife, his children and his dreams. I know deep in my heart that Dan was watching over us all at the Camp Eggers compound. Dan motivated us to do our best in order to make Afghanistan a better place. To Dan’s wife and two sons, thank you for making me realize how important it is to ensure I spend the quality time with my wife and children after this deployment. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and I know that Dan is watching over you, like he has for all of us here at Camp Eggers.
Sincerely,
LTC Roy D. Banzon

"Good old Danny,
You are my ultimate hero. You were the best dad, the best son, the best brother, and the most amazing soldier. You are just the ideal person, and I look up to you SO much. I'm constantly thinking about you and I wear your ring you gave to me around my neck every day and wear the bracelet the whole family has in your honor. I'm always looking at pictures of you and looking at every detail. I counted how many memories I could remember with you and I think I could only get up to 7. I lovvve hearing stories about you and I cherrish everything of yours so much, even your ruler that you carved 'DAN IS GREAT' into. I cry about you a lot, and the songs that remind me of you make me sad, but you are my inspiration and I stive to be just like you. Mom and dad talk about you so much and love to brag about you, and so do I :)
I wish we had more memories together, and it makes me so sad that I can hardly remember them but i love when you come in my dreams, it feels like I was just with you when I get up in the morning. I'm thinking about going to the citadel now, just like you. But i could change my mind because 4 years ago I said i wanted to be a soldier just like you but i deffinetaly changed my mind on that one :)
The boys look more and more like you everytime i see them, I feel so close to you when I'm with them and Rebecca. I wish Kiley and baby Danny could have known you, i wish everyone could have known you. My friends love hearing stories about you, and i love telling them. I'm so proud to be related to you, and say I'm your sister. I miss you Danny, we all do. But you're in our hearts forever and I know you're right here with me all the time. I love you soooooo much Danny <333
You'll never be forgotten :)
Thank you to everyone that has commented.If you have any memories with Danny, or anything to say about him please, please do! I love reading them, and I'm sure he appreciates it too :)"

"I felt compelled to write you as I sit here reading the comments, with tears running down my face. My husband left 3 days ago, on his second deployment and is stationed at Camp Eggers.

It's hard to believe that it's been 3 years. Every day, month, year seems like an eternity, but collectively they pass so quickly. But without a doubt, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't think of you. We love you and honor your sacrifice. The boys are growing up before my very eyes. I know you can see them and I hope they make you proud. I do my best to teach them how to be like you...how to be kind, intelligent, gentle, and to love unconditionally. They miss you dearly as do I. I know you watched us as we spent the day doing some of the things that you loved...going to the museum, visiting 3d Group, just hanging around. I even tried to give JJ a little history lesson in the museum...it only lasted a few minutes :). Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe...you and God are doing a wonderful job so far.

"If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

"To the Family of Danny Eggers, I have been in Afghanistan for 8 months now and only recently had an opportunity to briefly stop in at Camp Eggers. I am here from the Iowa National Guard as an Embedded Tactical Trainer to the Afganistan National Army. As a Logistical Officer I see the successes and efforts that Danny and the men who have served prior to me. When I arrived in June 2006, I was told there was a Camp down the road named after me but I knew it had nothing to do with me. I also knew there must be a tragic event related to the naming of Camp Eggers. Not until today did I know the background or story and I just wanted to say I was proud to walk the camp if only for a short time last week. I only wish I had met the man is was named after instead. It seems he made a huge impact on the soldiers that knew him personally and professionally. You all have every reason to continue being proud. I will never forget Danny's service or the Camp that honors 'his' name."
CPT Douglas E. Eggers of Gardez, Afghanistan
"Dan was a man even as a boy. I had the pleasure of knowing Dan as a friend in middle school and High school. Even as a youth he had all his peers respect and admiration. He was a natural born leader of men and he could run like the wind.. what a track star he was! Dan was the kind of man that everyone knew and everyone wanted to be like. I am better for knowing him and he has paid a debt for our country that me nor my family will ever forget. My sincerest thanks and condolences to the Eggers family. Dan will never be forgotten."

"I was blessed with the opportunity to know Dan as cadet while at The Citadel.
I spent a lot of time with him as he was sophmore company clerk in ECHO company, a position I myself previously held. I saw Dan several years ago in Savannah,GA during St. Patrick's Day while he had his wife and children in tow. We didn't speak as my soon to be wife and I were in a rickshaw passing by. Dan just yelled,"Lewos",looked at me and gave me a thumbs up. I didn't have the opportunity to know Dan as a soldier or a loving father and husband. I did however know him as a dedicated and honorable human being. I cannot express in words my sympathy for Daniel's family. Your son, father and husband will be missed. I thank CPT. Daniel Eggers for his sacrifice in providing us all the freedom we have and having known him the better people we are. God Bless.

"To the family of Danny Eggers: We were stunned and so very sorry to hear about Danny's death. Danny went to elementary school with my son Eric Knudsen many years ago in Still River, Massachusetts. The poem below, written in Danny's honor, was inspired shortly after seeing his headstone in Arlington National Cemetery shown on the television program "Sunday Morning" over Memorial Day weekend in 2005. Take care and God bless. You're always in our thoughts and prayers -- and we appreciate your sacrifice more than you will ever know. Thank you.
Little Boy Lost
(written by Paula J. (Knudsen) Botch,
August 2005)
Your child’s face looms near
As your name is listed among the dead,
Your bright smile shines from the photograph on television
While they tell your story
A local soldier, lost forever
A husband, a father,
A young man I didn’t know
Hard to believe you were only six
Last time we met
Just a little school boy
My son’s childhood friend
From another time, so long ago
Suddenly I see your name, forever etched in stone
Among heroes who gave their all
For me"

"Dearest Family of CPT. Eggers,
I had the extreme privilege of serving with Dan in Afghanistan. He was the ultimate soldier. He embodied everything that a Special Forces soldier could be. I was impressed by his skill and presence on the battle-field. But more than that, he was a great guy. His priorities were right. He taught me so much. Thanks for your sacrifice family of Dan Eggers. The world is a better place for his service."
2LT David Allen of Fort Campbell, KY
"I just learned of the loss of CPT Eggers. I knew him from his days as a platoon leader at Ft. Stewart; I was one of his soldiers and knew from the start that he would be a top notch officer. He always had the ability to make a bad day great and to make those around him appreciate his being there. I truly regret his loss and I will never forget- he was a great person and a true leader."

We hope our nephews will always remember what a wonderful person he was. Unfortunately our son will have to rely on us to hear what a great person he was as he was only 5 days old at the time of Dan's death. Thank you to all who have left Rebecca your words of comfort and memories of Dan."

"To the Family of Dan Eggers:
I went to The Citadel with Dan. I remember walking tours with him when I was a sophmore, it was the year of the Hale Bop Comet and we could see it from the Quadrangle. Every time we did an about face Dan and I would say: "Hale Bop, come and get me!" Laughing and joking then was all we had to keep our spirits up, laughing kept us sane. I remember thinking that he would be a great soldier and as it turned out, he was. I'm so very sorry he's gone, the world is a lesser place without him in it. I'll always miss him and I'll never forget him.

"To the family and friends of Daniel W. Eggers:
There are alot of kind words I could say to you, but it is very hard to find the right words to console you during this difficult time. I lost my brother-in-law on May 9, 2005, Pfc. Stephen Phillip Baldwyn, in Nasser Wa Salaam, Iraq. Everyday, I sit and ponder what all our soldiers go through so that we can enjoy a life of freedom. Their courage is astonishing. My heart has been torn into pieces and I miss Stephen everyday. Daniel, I thank you for your ultimate sacrifice. You gave up everything for me and my loved ones. I don't know you or your family, but it takes a pretty special person to go and fight on America's behalf and I will never forget you. I hope your family finds comfort in these messages and God bless each and every one of you."
Stephanie Franks Baldwyn of Saltillo, Mississippi
"I had the honor of being a classmate ('97) of Dan's at The Citadel, as well as a fellow Army scholarship winner. Our paths never crossed while in the Army, unfortunately. What I remember most about this remarkable person was his dedication to everything he did. That included his humor. We once wrote a skit together that criticized and made fun of every Army Dept. instructor at our school. Dan was as equally dedicated to the skit's biting humor as he would have been to setting up a minefield. At such a serious institution, I came to admire someone who enjoyed rocking the boat as much as Dan did. I feel how inadequate any words of mine are that might intend to relieve anyone from the sadness felt by Dan not being around anymore. It is, however, my hope that the rest of us can dedicate our lives to the cause of freedom, and shun those who attempt to persuade us to compromise."
Elliott Johnson of Seattle, WA
"Dan showed me the correct way to where my green beret me the first time i put it on i laugh and think about him every time i put it on we went through the course together and served in afghan together he was a great soldier and will always be a hero to me God bless you brother and God bless your family we will never forget your sacrifice."
