"I remember when LT deMoors joined my platoon out in Iraq. It was at first kind of a suprise to find someone from a line unit who had intelligence experience and then to have that person thrown into the Regimental ACE during a combat deployment.
Lt deMoors had great experiences to share with us though and could offer a different aspect to the situation, as he had been in similar sitations just prior to coming to us. This aspect was of great assistance to us and enabled us to provide better products for the warfighters.
As with any unit, we all would tease him about his little bottle of Canadian Maple Syrup, and how he needed to have it with him every morning at breakfast. I still run into folks who knew the Lt, even though I am no longer in the unit or on Carson.
My thoughts are with his family this Veteran's Day, as I am sure I am not the only one who has taken time to remember our fallen friend."

"I'm very sorry to learn about Joseph David Demoor's death. He and I were Mormon Missionaries together in Raleigh, N.C. many years ago and I have a lot of great memories of him. We spent a lot of time working together for our church and he even taught me some French words and phrases. It's a terrible tragedy that this has happened to him and to all of the other soldiers we've lost.

The last time I saw Joseph was around 1995 at the University of Utah. We were each crossing a street on campus when we ran into each other. We stopped and talked for a few minutes and reminiced about our missionary days. I'm very sorry that I won't see him again in this life. He was a good friend. May God be with him and his family.

Sincerely, Scott Schneiter Ridgecrest, CA"

"Lt. deMoors,
Sir, I would like to say thank you to you and the other soldiers who were on that Blackhawk with you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Brave Rifles!"(3rd ACR Motto)"

"8 months later so many of us are still grieving. You and your family are so loved...you just don't know. I miss attending church with your wife and the hugs and all the silliness we shared. Your children are so beautiful and I know that Allen misses Moroni terribly. He felt so terribly that he too was in Iraq, when Father in Heaven called you home, and that he wasn't able to be there to be of comfort to him. The knowlege that Families *ARE* Forever is what gets us through times like these. I know Heavenly Father has a greater calling for you now and that you are watching over your family at all times. God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again."
