Fallen Heroes of Operation Enduring Freedom

"It has been 3 years since your life was robbed from our lives. There are so many things that I want to say to you. I miss you and always think about you. You were the first one to know that my wife was pregnant. After your death, I told my wife that I wanted to name my son after you and now every day I see my son I see your always, go lucky, upbeat and energetic self. It was hard to sit at the same desk that you did in Afghanistan. I knew I had big shoes to fill. I was proud to follow you in that assignment and to deploy twice in that assignment. Well until we meet again, this is all for now. I still pray for your family and wish them all the best.

"Sascha, brother, you will never be forgotten! We had good times in Basic Training, AIT, and Korea. You begged for Italy and I begged for Fort Sill. HRC gave us both our requests. Even though I am older than you, I will always look to you as a big brother. You were there for me during our early Army days and set and showed me the standards for a high speed 27D and a Soldier. I practice those standards every day now and think of you very often. Thank you for trading your life for our country. You did this so other Americans would not have to. I will see you in Heaven and please look over our troops that are deployed. God bless you and your family.

Your Battle Buddy Forever!"

You were an amazing person, always knowing how to make a person feel good and get a good laugh.
I can remember 3:30 in the morning, you acting like Stewart from Mad TV and Courtney and I getting so mad because were were trying to sleep, but it was still hilarious.
I miss you & love you.

God Bless you wherever you be right now."

"Sascha, I never really did talk to you in High School. You were popular and I was an outcast...but you were always nice. Thank you for doing what you could in defending my rights as a US citizen and thank you for putting your life down on the frontlines for my freedom. That is a gift you gave to me in which I will never be able to repay. God Bless you and may you rest in peace. You are in my prayers. Maybe we can sit on a cloud and have a conversation one day. Rest in peace."
Jamie Lee-Pratt of Fort Rucker, AL
