Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"As I sit here in Iraq for my third tour I can't help but think of Greg and his family. You have been in my heart and in my mind as I try to continue the proud tradition of serving our great nation. Thank you for all you have done. My sister Karen still lives right around the corner from the Huxley home in Forestport where I grew up as a young boy. Every time I come home I will pay my respects to our young hero who paid the ultimate price for freedom.

Best regards, Major Bill Roberts."
Major Bill Roberts of Baghdad, Iraq

"You will never be forgotten...Today is memorial day...and i cant wait to go to your grave tomorrow....you still are my hero..."

"I was Private Huxley's medic during OIF I, I remember he always had some funny joke to tell or just come to bullshit and bum a smoke from me and say "whats up?" I will never forget the day he died. We were so happy that no one had gotten injured or killed. We were so close to baghdad and we only had one more hard push and we would be there. Because of him everyone in his vehicle was saved from severe injury or death. I just want his friends and family to know that I remember him always and will never forget.

"As a sergeant in Bravo Company, I remember making some stern corrections when you were a new soldier, learning the ropes...and I know that Sergeants Barker, Johnson, Gladden, and the other NCO's in your platoon did their share as well. Because you fell so young, I always wonder if you understood that we were just trying to train you to be the best. Under 3rd Squad's outstanding leadership, I saw you grow into a disciplined soldier, and I'm proud to have been in your unit. It hurts that you were taken from us, but I am so grateful for your sacrifice. I tell my children your story to teach them the price of their freedom.

To Gregory's family--Ya'll raised a great kid. He was brave and determined. I am so sorry for your loss."

"TO Greg's family and loved ones: I had the honor of serving in the unit Greg was attached to. I suffer the curse of seeing Greg pay the ultimate price. He went down every inch the man that he tried to be. I know that other men, including myself live, because Gregg possessed the strength of character to perform his duties to the fullest. Greg Huxley is a hero, and I will never be able to repay the debt that he paid."

A lot of things have changed down here since you went home time is going by so fast. Just letting you know I'm still here thinking and missing you like crazy. I'll write back again love you greggy poo and miss you sooooo much"
Amber of Myrtle Beach, SC

"I met PFC Huxley a few times. I was Great friends with his squad leader Scott Barker.
I remember seeing his vehicle get hit with the RPG. I was A few vehicles behind theirs. After they got hit we returned fire in the general direction from where the RPG was fired. It was to late though.
This happened right after we had stopped to refuel. We were all yelling and joking back and forth at each other from vehicle to vehicle. It was exciting to see friends after a battle for obvious reasons. After this particular battle is when reality really set in...well at least for me.
I remeber seeing the guys from that squad after the fight and the damage to the outside of the vehicle. My friend Sgt Barker was tough and held it all together for the men. Most of the men in his vehicle suffered both minor and major wounds.
Like I said its painful to remember how one minute you can be laughing and joking with a friend and the next he is gone. I think about the friends and brothers that I have lost during that war daily and I know that I will never forget them.
I know Greg is in a better place now and he is watching over his family and his Army Brothers to keep them safe. God bless you and your family Greg.

"Greggy,
4 years today buddy and I miss you more and more as days pass...it still hurts ya know? You leaving us. I miss you so much. I was at a friends house the other day and I walked in her house for the first time to see a newspaper article with your picture and a caption underneath. I thought how ironic it was that she didnt know you but she is friends with someone who did. It amazes me. She said it is up there to remind her of how good her life is and to remind her own children as well, that life may not be easy at times but that we are so much better off than others. And it is because of you and others like you that we can live life free from war... I hope you are watching over all of us Greggy. I think about you all the time, I wish you were still here.

May God bless your family and friends."

You continue to live on in the hearts and memories of all those you've touched--and in the hearts of those who have heard "Greggy" stories.

"I may have been 9 when Gregory P. Huxley, Jr. died in Iraq and don't remember it, but i wanted to learn how and when he died because my mother downloaded a music vido called Our_Heros_VCD and I saw Gregory P. Huxley, Jr.'s name on the back of a soldier's helmet. I'm sorry for what you have to go through everyday, knowing you have 1 less member of the family. My mother may also die when she goes to Iraq next year, and I'll know what you're going through. I am awfully sorry."

"Greg, I have been battling the thought of your death since the day I found out. I was sitting in Kuwait looking through the Naval messages that were coming in when I saw your name on the KIA list. I couldn't believe it and I had to get through to home to make sure I wasn't crazy. I ask only one more favor from you brother, be standing at the gates when I get there so I can shake your hand and thank you for everything you've done."

"greg.....


Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
See your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe your gone

(Chorus:)
It ain't fair you died to young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Someday's the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

(Chorus)

Today [3x]
Today [3x]

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday

Someday, someday"
steven rice of lee center , ny

"Greggy I really miss you. You were my best friend, almost my only friend. When you died it felt like my whole world came undone. I isolated myself from everyone, even mom and dad. But then on July 30th, 2005, I feel that you rescued me from my solitude. I believe that you sent my son to me and he has become my world. I will be sure that he knows your name and everything you did for our family and our country. You are my brother but you are the world's hero. I try to visit your grave every chance I get. I still miss you terrible but now that I have Michael the pain is less severe. I thank you for him Greggy. He is an angel sent from heaven by you. I love you Greggy. I'll see you in the afterlife. Love, your sister forever."

"greg its been a while now and this song still gets to me....

I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yea, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I dont do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yea I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can't call in sick on mondays
when they weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I dont want to die for you
but if dyin's asked of me
i'll bear that cross with honor
cause freedom dont come free

I'm an amiercan soldier, and american
beside my brothers and my sisters i will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy i will always do what's right
i'm out here on the front lines
sleep in peace tonight
american soldier i'm an american soldier

Yeah an american soldier, and american
beside my brothers and my sisters i will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy i will always do what's right
i'm out here on the front lines
sleep in peace tonight
american soldier i'm an american
An american

I was that which others did not want to be.
I went where others feared to go,
And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,
And reluctantly accepted the thought of
Eternal loneliness…should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror;
Felt the stinging cold of fear;
And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, pained, and hoped…but most of all,
I have lived times others would say were best forgotten
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…
A SOLDIER"

"I was moved to C co before the start of the war, but used to be in B co. While we were in Kuwait, i would go and visit my friends in B co. One day I went to visit and I was talking to his team leader and he was telling me that he was having a hard time adjusting to the unit. I told his NCO that those soldiers end up being the best soldiers. What more can I say. He was one of the BEST soldiers that gave his life for our country, and for the freedom of Iraq. My condolences go out to the Huxley family from my family.. Your son was one of the BEST in our eyes."

We are scheduled to deploy to Iraq later this year which will be my 2nd trip. The first of course was with Greg and the rest of the "Dirty 3rd" from Benning.

"Subject: A Trooper's Story This is about one of our soldiers who died in Iraq and lives in Boonville, NY.

Please take the time to read the email below. It is a great, true
story. The letter was written by Senior Investigator Jack Graham of
the New York State Police to fellow members of the NY State Police and to
the Syracuse Police who, on April 17, 2003, participated in a hastily
planned ceremonial escort for a soldier killed in Iraq. Feel free to
pass this on. These are the kinds of stories that make us proud to be
an American.

The abbreviation "SP", means "State Police", and it refers to a
station. For instance, SP Loudonville, NY.

On Thursday, April 17, 2003 you participated in an escort detail for
GREGORY P. HUXLEY JR who was killed in action in Iraq on April 6, 2003.
On behalf of the entire Huxley family and from me, personally, I want
to say "Thank you very much." Your professionalism, dedication and
sincerity meant so much to the Huxley family, that words cannot
describe their feelings at this time.

What most did not know was that the US Army had promised the family
members that they would be taken to Dover, Delaware to be present when
their son arrived from Iraq and there would be a full military ceremony
in Dover for GREGORY. Unfortunately, there was a communication problem
and they were not present during that ceremony.

Then they were informed that the body of their son was being flown to
Syracuse and that the funeral director could pick up the "fallen
soldier" at the cargo area of the airport and that somebody would help
them remove the casket from the cardboard shipping container for
transport to Boonville, NY.

The funeral director felt that unacceptable for a nineteen year old
young man that gave his life for this country and for the freedom of so
many others. As a family friend he contacted me to see if anything
could be done. We now had six hours before GREGORY arrived in
Syracuse.

Phone calls were made to SP North Syracuse and SGT Nick Harmatiuk took
over from there. What you participated in and observed the rest of
that day was truly an outstanding display of what this agency can do in very
short time.

What happened was just visually and emotionally overwhelming.

The procession left SP North Syracuse led by eight Syracuse PD
motorcycles, followed by the hearse, four cars with family members and
followed by ten State Police and Syracuse PD cars. How ironic it was
that when the procession was traveling parallel to the runway, the plane carrying GREGORY landed next to it. We were able to enter the planes

cargo area and remove the shipping crate from the casket and drape the
American flag over the casket. When the casket traveled down the
conveyor belt, fifteen New York State Troopers and the same amount of
Syracuse Policemen lined the path to the awaiting hearse - all at
attention. A hand salute was executed as six State Troopers proudly
bore the flag draped coffin to the hearse. After a short prayer, the
family was given some time to welcome their son home.

The entire airport was so quiet. I looked up at the concourse windows
and saw a hundred or more people. They were all standing, watching,
with their hands over their hearts, saluting a young man that they did
not know. Somehow they learned that a fallen soldier had come home and
they wanted to honor his sacrifice.

The casket was then placed in the hearse and the procession left the
airport in the same fashion as we arrived, only this time with a young
hero that our hearts will never forget.

The motorcade was escorted to the thruway entrance by the Syracuse
Police Department's motorcycles. All traffic was stopped for the
procession and we headed east towards Boonville. After getting off the
thruway, we found that every intersection that the procession
encountered was controlled by State Troopers, allowing us a safe,
unimpeded passage. At each intersection, the State Trooper stood at
attention, saluting the fallen soldier and his family, giving him and
his family the respect that they deserved. How emotional that was to
see and now to reflect on.

When entering the Village of Boonville, the main street was decorated
with an infinite number of American Flags and yellow ribbons. As we
approached the center of town, all of the church bells began to peal at
once recognizing and saluting Gregory's arrival. Hundreds of people
holding American flags lined the street, some with their hand over their heart and some weeping for GREGORY for what he sacrificed, for us and

his country. As we drove by the village park, the National Anthem was
being played, for GREGORY, and I think, for all of us.

At the funeral home, eight veterans lifted the casket out of the hearse
and into the home with the family. GREGORY had returned home.

GREGORY'S family said to me later that the images I have just described
will always be etched in their hearts, forever. But the one memory
that will always be there first, was of the State Troopers at the airport,
standing at attention, saluting, with tears running down their cheeks
for their son, a fallen soldier. A hero whom those Troopers never
personally knew.

Our jobs take many different avenues in life. We hope that during our
day or shift that we have made a difference, a positive contribution.
On this occasion you did just that. An entire family knows that you cared
to do your very best to honor their son. Their words and expressions
told me just that. We made a difference yesterday, and we did it well.

The rewards we receive for details like this one do not come from
anywhere but from the heart. Take pride in what you accomplished,
because it was distinct and without equal in this Trooper's eye. I
have had so many good things happen since I have been a State Trooper, but
in those twenty fours years, I have never been more proud the New York
State Police as I was yesterday - A fallen soldier, a hero, a son, a
brother has finally come home, in grand deserving style, thanks to all
of you.

I really wish Erica would have gave me your address, I heard that you asked her to give it to me and she never did but I don't blame her or anyone else.

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

"Hey Greggy I miss you man.. Your like my big brother and now your gone. Why did it have to be you I don't know but all I know is that I am thankful for all that you have ever done for me and thank you for fighting for our country. I will always remember the good times and the bad but mostly the good. I will always remember that you were always there for me and you would always be willing to help. It is really hard not having you around anymore to make me laugh when I am down. You are in my thoughts every single day and that will never change. And as for your family they are always in my heart also the last time I seen anyone things seemed to be looking up for them and things seemed alot better for them also. Every April I think of you I lost you 19 days before my birthday and that wrenches my heart every April but it also makes me feel alot better knowing that you died for our country for my country for my rights and freedom. You are gone but definately not forgotten... I love you Greg and I will always miss you."

""Greg, You dont know me, but you know my brother Mike Olney. You guys partied together according to him. He currently in the Army National Guard Unit.

"Do not cry for me and do not weep for i am not dead but only asleep gone to a place without any pain where tears and sadness do not fall like rain


Remember my laughter remember my face remeber now I'm in a better place I know that the hurt and the sadness wont seem to heal but remember that nothing lasts forever even the sadness you feel.


Do not be angry a bitter and fight do not be blind by hate black as night
What would it bring but more suffering and rage let not my death be the start of more pain.


Time will heal your broken heart I promise we will not be forever apart remember im watching remember I'm watching remember I'm here and that time will will heal your tears and your fear.


I must go for now and say goodbye but whenever you miss me just look toward the sky remember I love you and you love me and your heart is a place i will always be."

"Greg, I just want to say how very proud I am of you and to thank you for your service to protect the freedoms that we all take so much for granted. Your bravery and giving of yourself will always be very much appreciated. You have made the ultimate sacrifice, that of loving your fellow Americans enough to lay down your life for them. I have had the wonderful privilege to meet some of your family and want you to know they are absolutely the best! I truly do appreciate your service Greg. Thank you so much! God bless you dear soldier."

"I'm in 7th grade at Walnut Springs in Ohio. Today (May 26, 2004) at school to celebrate Memorial Day we had a memorial service and put up a flag in our 1 year old football stadium. Each student got a small flag w/ a lost soldier's picture, name, age, and hometown. A black hawk flew over our school and landed on our football field, and we had 5 soldiers there and the two pilots flying the blackhawk. It was really touching and amazing. On my flag, I had Pfc. Gregory P. Huxley, Jr. Now that little strip of paper with his picture, age, name, hometown, and what he did will be in my heart forever. If anyone knows any information about him, I really am very interested in knowing about this mystery man. I would also like to write to the family. My e-mail address is LiLLySs211@aol.com. Please, please PLEASE e-mail me if you have any information. Gregory P. Huxley will be in my thoughts and heart forever, and his family will be in my prayers. Today I learned what heroes each and every one of these men and women are, and I also learned what a hero is. Gregory P. Huxley Jr is my hero.

"I have never met him in person but my boyfriend and a few of our friends where in the same unit. My boyfriend told me that he talked to him 3 hours before he died he said that it hurt him when he found out about Greg Huxley. So from our hearts we are very sorry about the loss of Greg and thank you to all the soldiers who would risk there lives for the freedom we have now. May God Bless"
Tatiana of Columbus Georgia

"I have never met Gregory or any of his family members,But i give my dearest gratitued to this family in their time of mourning.I have dealt with teens that are dealing with the loss of friends and family in my 5 years as a Social Worker,Its hard to find the words to tell young adults that a friend or close family member has died,Where do you find the words.I once delt with a young girl,Her boyfriend had enlistend in the military and she was afraid of losing him,He was fine but even the realness of war brought that girl into a deep depression.I will hug my own kids (Nathan 11,Kylee 8,Matthew 5)tonight more than ever.It just kills me that this young man was killed fighting in a war,and he couldnt even legally drink.Sometimes how this country is ran makes me sick,Well i send my best to the family of Gregory.You are all in my prayers..."
Lyndzee Martin of Florida

"Poem For Greggy:

Went and saw your grave today,Kinda felt relived in an innocent way,As i stood over that stone,that you now call home,a tear fell from my eye,and i just began to cry,i wanted to see you and hug you so bad,i wanted to talk to you and hear stories youve had,i wanted to see the way you smile,becuase i know i wont for awhile,i wanted to tell you how proud of you we are,you are forever in out hearts,i wanted to explain that you did what was right,i wanted to tell you that you did a brave thing to fight,and no matter who i see,no matter who i talk to you will always be my hero,no matter what they do,no one will ever rise above you,your death hit me like a blow to the chest,and it broke my heart the day we laid you to rest,i know life has hard times,some times gets you down,and you have to be strong even when the tears fall all around,and when it is time to look at the flag sometimes i pray for the strong and the brave,noe that Greggy is gone,we all have to carry along,but we will never be alone,because Greggy really is home."

"In Loving Memory..Its been a year..

At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them.
At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live;
for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
Rest in Peace Dear Soldier!! We will NEVER FORGET!"

"One year to the day, and I am missing you more today than I have on any other day since you left this dreaded world. I wish you were still here Greggy. I have to say though that today was the first time that i woke up and didn't feel sorrowful, I felt that you were happy and in a much better place. It's weird that today is one year, I just can't get over it, one whole year. I miss you so much, God how many times can I say that in one paragraph?... Peace and love Greggy, missing you lots. R.I.P.>>April 6, 2003"
Anonymous of USA

"Well...It's been almost a year now, just a couple more days...
And well, although I probably have never spoke more than a few words to Greg, he's changed my life. He's made me realize how lucky we are to live in this great country, and how amazing the men and women who fight for our county really are. It's like he's brought out a patriotism in me that I never knew was there. I can't even describe the feelings I get when I hear the national anthem, and when I look at our flag and think of Greg.
I even prayed, for almost the first time in my life. I prayed for Greg, his family, all the other soldiers, and America. He's just changed my life...
This was a life changing thing for anyone who knew him, closley or not. He truley is an American Hero, to everyone.

*I may not have known you well...But Greg, you are a hero to everyone, including my own. I will never, ever forget you... even if I live forever, I will never, ever forget...*

Always remembering you,"

Bill of Houston, Texas

"Oh man Nicole. What you wrote was so powerful. You do a good job at expressing yourself. I cant believe any of it. It is so crazy. It's hard not to think about what might have been or what would be going on right now if you were still here. I see like Rachael and Darryl in school and it hurts me even more because they were closer to you than me. It is all so much. April 6th is gonna be a really bad day, i think for everyonwe just because it will be one year to the day that you died. Its so crazy. Peace man- 4/6/03---"

"Greg it has been over a year since the last time that i saw you. I really can't express the emotions that are going through my mind right now. I have never felt so emotionally drained in my whole life. I wake up thinking about you and I go to be still thinking about you. Wondering what you are doing at the same exact moment that i am thinking about you, who you are with and whether or not you are happy.
i miss you more than anything Greg. with everything going on that is going on in my life right now i need you so much, i pray to god that you can hear me when i talk to you. not having you around in my life Greg has been so hard. i sometimes will just sit there and wonder what you would be doing if you were alive right now. if you were home, would you have the hummer you always wanted white with tinted windows, would you be in love, would you be back from the war.
there is a reason that you died Greg and god better hope that its a really really good one, i am sure that you an angel sent from heaven with a mission. you did have a great life you accomplished more than most do in sixty years.
i am really sorry i never got the chance to tell you how i felt about you, i just want you to know now you are my hero, you changed my life for the better so much and you made our family closer than ever before.
i confess to you that your death has brought alot of good to alot of people but losing you wasnt worth it and i would take you back over all of it any day. but i do have to say there is alot of love in america for you know. you have what you deserved.
you are a famous american hero. everybody knows you name- you are respected and looked up to by all AMERICANS. i hope that where ever you are you are happy and being treated like the hero that you are. i love you Greg, until me meet again . . . . . . ."

"greg its been almost a year since you gave your life so that so many others could live in the freedom that we seem to take for granted each and every day ill never forgett what you did for your country greg. ill see you on the other side man"
steven rice of syracuse, ny, USA

"Hi, Greggie,
Well, I was thinking of you as I often do and wanted to say hi.
I can hardly believe it is close to year that you were taken from here.
It still seems like yesterday. It still breaks my heart not to be able to see your smile
except through photographs. Forever, young will you be.
Dearest Greggie, how humble and brave was your heart.
Somehow I just see your special spirit.. cheering on your commards who
still fight the fight for the cause that meant so much to you.
Martin Luther King said..
If a man hasn't discovered something that he will die for,
he isn't fit to live.
And there you were, leading the way, setting the example of
standard that all would do well to live accordingly by.

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." These are word of Abraham Lincoln, But it is your heart and voice I hear speaking these words of long ago.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belong to the man who is actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. T. Roosevelt

A message to all who apposed this fight for human rights and liberty keep in mind
The first step towards corruption
is the power to deny us our Freedom of Speech.
When you start to lose this freedom, by unforseen powers,
then beware, for ABSOLUTE POWER
is just around the corner!
Thank you Greggie for stepping in with your heart, with high standard of right and wrong flying it high like a banner for all to see. For all to follow.
God has blessed you. And because of you, others have been greatly blessed.
You are the only Hero I have ever personally known.
Love Always"

Sarah of Forestport

"I remember visiting your 113 a few days after you had been killed...a little note had been written around the entry hole of the 113 that said "RIP PFC Huxley, Dirty 3rd". I was the Engineer Brigade Commanders driver at the time (COL Peabody) and remember staring at the hole the RPG had left. I was hit by an RPG 2 weeks earlier and couldnt help but think how lucky I was to still be alive. When I found out how young you were and where I was when I was 19 (I am 29 now) it greatly saddens me to know how much of life you missed out on. God always takes the best ones first and you are no different. You and your family have given so much and you will be missed very much...even by us who never knew you as a person but as a combat engineer brother. You are now forever at peace and I can only hope that your family and friends will one day be able to find the same here on earth.
ESSAYONS! Engineers Forward! Buffaloes!
Rest in Peace"

Thank you God for being there for this fine young man who paid the price for our freedom for my children and grandchildren. God be with him and you all.

"American Soldier



I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success
From my head down to my boots

I don't do it for the money
There's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory
I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility
Yeah I'm real good under pressure
Being all that I can be

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
when the weekends been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
but if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'cause freedom don't come free

I'm an Amiercan soldier, an American
beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

Yeah, an American soldier, an American
beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
when liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines
So Sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American
An American, an American soldier

"God bless you all. I thank you for Greg's unforgotten service and his unselfish acts for our freedom. I served over 35 years ago and I have felt the void in one's heart as he left his family behind to serve in far off places. I am grateful for his courage and strength and I am most grateful to you for keeping him in rememberance. God looks after His fallen soldiers. They now serve with Him. Peace and comfort to the family in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 12/31/03"

Leo Titus of Grayslake, Illinios

"I never met Greg except for a picture his mom and dad showed me on 7 Apr 03. It was of a young man who was proud of what he had already accomplished and what he was going to accomplish. He had determination and spirit, was the one who always could make people smile no matter how bad it was. I saw this in how people spoke of him and the memories they had of him. I wished that I had met and known him as his family and friends did. From here what I want to say is hard to put into words, other than to Gregs family "Thank You" for allowing me to get to know him and you. I wish the best for all."

Still missin ya...."
Sarah of forestport

"I had the chance to read a piece circulating regarding Greg's death and subsequent journey back home. What the State police and fellow policemen did was beyond words.A great tribute to the communities, our Nation, but most of all to the sons and daughters we have sent off to protect our freedoms and those of the world. May God always grant the families, friends, and comrades of our fallen heroes peace and blessings."

"How can a nation ever say "Thank You" enough to someone who has given their all to secure and defend our freedom. You join our most honored pregenators from Concord, New Orleans, Manassas, San Juan Hill, the Marne, Pearl Harbor, Malmady, Inchon, Khe Sanh, Kuwait, and today; in a way that we should always be greatful. My heart and my Thanks go to your parents, to your freinds, and to your fellow soldiers. You are a Great American."
Tony Beatrici of Redding, CA

"I have a very hard time showing my poetry to people....but i thought that this was a good poem for greggy...i miss you...love ya muches!

A soldier in uniform...

A soldier had left his family and friends.....to work for the people who needed him....he left us behind....as we screamed out and cried....he faded away...his smile just stayed...as we all had tears....all had fears....He rode away from his family that day....his mother sat down as she silently prayed....she asked for God to be kind to her son....to make him come back....away from harm and hate....

As his camos they faded...and his fears where un-aided....he kept on the front lines....he kept his work alive....he never let them down....always thought of everyone he had left behind in his town....

His family prayed and the hoped he would come home safe.....hoped he would be home soon...she even washed the sheets in his room...but one spring night...the family was brought down with fright as the learned the facts...that he died in war....he would be with them no more....he died as a hero....he died as a soldier...he would go......


As his camos they faded...and his fears where un-aided....he kept on the front lines....he kept his work alive....he never let them down....always thought of everyone he had left behind in his town....

as i hugged his mother and sobbed....i felt how she was robbed...robbed of her son that never grew legal....never drank his first legal drink....never thought how he would be tooken in a blink....as i knelt infrom of his casket....i thought of how he was...i thought of all the things he had done.....thought of the ones that he would never experience.....i prayed to God to keep Greggy safe.....prayed to God....


As his camos they faded...and his fears where un-aided....he kept on the front lines....he kept his work alive....he never let them down....always thought of everyone he had left behind in his town...."

"Greggy I'm missing you every day and wish so much that you were here with all of us. You're in my thoughts always, love you and miss you with everything. I am so happy knowing that you did what you had to do. You put your handprint on the world and accomplished so much more than anyone else does before they hit 19, you're too awesome bud. Love you"
Lindsay of Remsen

"Sleep well Greg. You've earned a rest, so rest easy knowing that you've granted those of us at home safety and generations to come, freedom. Such a deed is heroic by any definition and is why you will live on in our hearts.

Charlie Rock thinks of you often with love."
Jeff Dissell of Gainesville, FL

"Greg, Here we are it's December... we miss you so much. Amanda heard about your death when she was at school and I was in NYC on guard duty in the subway. We both took it hard, especially Amanda. I think that is why she is taking it so hard that I am going now because this war has already "hit at home" so to say. We love you and miss you everyday and we keep your family in our thoughts and prayers."
Henry and Amanda (Lynch) Jasek of Boonville, New York/ USA

"shaggy, wow. there really hasn't been a day that i haven't thought about you. wondering what you would be doing right now. mom just found this site and told me about it. so, that's probaly why i haven't written in it sooner. better late then never. it's just so weird. i mean, it's been almost 8 months since you've died. high school is hard without you. i mean, you made my high school years fun, and it's my last year, and your not even around anymore. you have no idea how hard it is. i mean, you were my "big brother" there's never going to be another person like you. when i found out that you were gone, i didn't want to believe it. i didn't believe it until your funeral. and i still even then didn't want to believe it. i stil don't. but i guess that i have to. just remember that duck tape can fix a lot of things, just not our broken hearts. i love you shaggy."

"My message to the family of Greg Huxley and all those who loved him: I am not and never have served in the military. I am simply an American who immigrated to this country many years ago. I am also a lawyer, and consider myself an officer of our nation's system of justice sworn to defend and uphold our Constitution. When I think of my job, though, I know that the words of Father O'Brien, USMC, are absolutely true. It is not we lawyers, or poets, or campus organizers or journalists who allow Americans to live free, or give our Constitution the deep importance it has to our country. It is the American soldier. The soldier does not question the command given to him by our leaders, and does not "analyze" the reasons for or against obeying the command. The soldier simply does his job whether he likes it or not, and will even lay down his life if that is what it takes to do the job. It is because of that loyalty to our nation's command structure--which comes from our Constitution--that our laws, our Constitution, our liberties that we all cherish and enjoy, even exist.

These incredible men and women, young and old, toil in far-away deserts and jungles in obedience to our leaders' orders, for us. They are willing to pick up a weapon to defend the rest of us no matter how weak or old or deserving we may be. While the rest of us sleep in our warm beds at home, they face death, and pain, and unimaginable fear in cold swamps and ferocious deserts halfway across the planet. While we live and laugh in comfort among our friends, family and loved ones, they shed tears and blood surrounded by hostile enemies trying to hurt them.

These are the men and women who make America what it is. I cannot find words to describe my gratitude for their sacrifices, and my sorrow for their loss. Thank you, Pfc. Huxley, for facing fears I will probably never face, and for making sacrifices I will never make. This nation is forever indebted to you and I hope to live my life and do my job constantly honoring your memory and those who have fallen with you."
Neil Singh of Phoenix, Arizona

"greg you said duck tape could fix everthing but it cant it cant fix the hundreds of broken hearts saddened by your death and it cant bring you back. i miss you man"

"This is my song for Greggy....

R KELLY LYRICS

"I Wish"

I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Good Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy

[1] - And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
(With you)
And all the little days and party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish

[2] - I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Now ever since this money come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this * gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real * off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake * niggas get fake * digits
And fake * playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all * come around
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
Until my * is going down

[Repeat 1]

(With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces

[Repeat 2]

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?

[Repeat 1]

(With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at me
Somebody pray for me

[Repeat 2 till end]"
Sarah of Forestport

"R KELLY LYRICS

"A Soldier's Heart"

All hope was gone
Hard to hang on
Hard to be strong
Was blind, could not see
Nothing but walls in front of me and inside no peace

And the mountains seemed impossible to climb until...

[Chorus]

You stood on the front lines
You led the way, out of the darkness
We didn't go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

Oceans so deep
Uphill so steep
But still we believe
And when the road was too far to travel
Heros you came and carried us there

And the mountains seemed impossible to climb until...

[Chorus]

And so our flag was still there
All because you decided to care

[Chorus x2]

You stood on the front lines
You led the way, out of the darkness
You could have let us go astray
You were ready to die for our sake
And that takes a soldier's heart

And that takes a soldier's heart"

"I knew a man, called him greg huxley.Few folks even knew his name.But a hero, yes was he.Left a boy, came back a man.Still many just don't understandabout the reasons we are free.I can't forget the look in his eyesor the tears he cried,as he said these words to me.All gave some and some gave all.Some stood through for the red, white and blue,and some had to fall.And if you ever think of me,think of all your liberties, and recall,some gave all.Now, greg is no longer here.But his words are oh so clearas they echo throughout our land.and all his friends who gave us all,who stood the ground and took the fallto help their fellow man.Love your country and live with prideand don't forget those who died.America, can't you seeAnd if you ever think of methink of all your liberties, and recall, yes recallsome gave all.Some gave all.greg you gave all i miss you man"

"Well in all honesty this is my first time actually reading this website. I find myself everyday going online and searching for Greg's name at google.com and for some reason this site never came up as mentioning his name. To danielle I love you girl thanks for putting it here. I am Nicole I am Greg's sister. I have read some pretty moving messages and would like to hear from some of these people on a more personal level. I have found that I take much comfort in hearing what others have to say. As of right now I am in college at Suny Cobleskill in New York. My address until December of 2003 is
Nicole Huxley
127 Mcauther Ave
Apartment 30
Cobleskill New York 12043
Anyone who would like to contact me is welcome to do so. i would appreciate it very much. To Greg buddy I miss you and there is nothing in the world that I wouldnt do to have you back. I wish more than anything in the world that we never had to hear the words that you were really gone. WE dont now why life throws us the twists and turns that it does but for everything there is a reason. One day I am sure we will find out what yours was but as of right now you are still alive in my mind, my heart, my thoughts and my soul......you will never be forgotten and you will always be loved."
Nicole, Greg's sister of Forestport New York

"PVT Huxley was in my tank when the RPG hit. Had Grag not been sitting where he was I would've been the one who didn't come bach home. Greg had a hard time adjusting to our unit at first but he had come a long way in a very short time. I am very proud of my soldier...he died so the people of Iraq could live a life without tyranny, evil, and oppression. Thanks Greg for the times we did have in the desert. The "Dirty 3rd" misses you and our squad will never forget what you did."
SSG Shawn Johnson 3rd Squad B Co 317EN of Ft. Benning, GA USA

"Huxley, I don't know what to say other than we miss you. You were so new to our battallion yet you wasted no time at all in joining the team. I really wish that you could be here with us today. There is nothing that I can say that would be adequate to your friends and family back home yet we are brothers in arms and we felt your loss like a stab in the heart. God bless you Greg."
SPC Mark Walker Jr., C Co 317th En Bn

steven rice of lee center ny/ liverpool ny

"I'm not really sure why things in lfe happen the way that they do. I do know that i will never forget the morning me and Nicole found out what happened and i will never forget the feeling that went through me..I still do not want to accept the fact that Greggy is gone and although i know i will see him again, I regret that we wont have anymore times to laugh and cry, or just plain hang out..i knew greg for quite a few years and eventually he became more than an associate, more than a friend, he became a brother at heart...I will never forget the laughter and joy that Greggy brought to all he encountered, and i will alwayz be greatfull knowing that Greggy died nothin less then a hero in all of our hearts. He will never be forgotten...he has left somethin in all who knew him that will always be brought up and remembered..i know that one day we will see you again..words cannot express how much you are missed every waking day...We love you soo much Greggy, I'm so greatfull that you were a part of my life and that i got to be a part of yours!"

"Almost 4 months. It still seems like I just fond out. I wish I could express what I feel inside. I can still see the kids standing and waiting for the school bus from my kitchen door.
Greggie was strong and tuff. He was determined. He was kind, caring, and giving. I never knew him to be any other way. He was a boy. A boy with a mans dream. A mans determination. He was a "Hero" long before he even thought about going to Iraq."
C.J. Scholl of Forestport, New York

"I knew Greg Very Well matter of fact Greg and I went to school together i met Greg when i was in my summer of 5th grade going into 6th. i was in 8th Grade when he was in 12th grade. When I found out my best friend was killed (which was in school 1st period) my face turned all red and i burst into tear's. My classmate Tiffany asked the teacher if we could get out of class because everyone saw me crying. As soon as i walked out of class i feel to the floor crying very hard and i could not stop. Greg and and his sister's Becky and Nicole and I use to go to the park at night and play Hide-n-go-seek it was awesome but me being the smallest of them all couldn't catch Greggy at all. I remeber one time Nicole and I were at the park and he was at his house which was not far from where i was and shot me in the butt with a BeeBeeGun. Now that i think about it. who is going to shoot me in the butt again??? who will look after me as well as Greg did?? (besides his sister nicole) I'm really going to miss Greg. He was everything to me. I am very proud of him. He did a AWESOME job!. and im thankful for that i just wish he didnt have to get killed. Just like his Dad Greg Sr. said he always wanted to go ahead and he sure did go ahead of all of us this time. Now after he is gone every sunday i dont feel happy at all. and i will never forget the day my best friend was killed.....I love you Greg."
Danielle Scholl of Forestport, NY

"I didn't know Pfc. Gregory Huxley, Jr. he was in the unit with my son - when I saw the site I just had to say something. When I last talked to my son he was deeply hurt by the passing of your son - I know he must have been a great person to leave such an impression on my son - I'm so sorry for your lost. Words cannot express how much I appreciate him and his heroism. I know your heart aches and I pray God gives you the strength to go on. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers."

"Gregory-
Words cannot express the sorrow I feel. Although I didn't know you, I know what you stood for. You have my undying gratitude. Someday I'll get the chance to thank you in person, but until that day......"Does a woman ever forget her baby at the breast, or fail to cherish the son of her womb? Yet even if these forget, I will never forget you." (Isaiah 49:15)

May God bless you and keep you close."
Lt. Daniel Schug FDNY of New Windsor, NY

"To me, he and all the other American soldiers are true heroes, and I will always remember what he has done. God Bless."
Sandy of Indiana

"Greg grew up in a little town in Upstate NY called Forestport, where everyone knows everyone, and you can find America at it's best in every person you meet. And now that little town gave one of it's own to the people of a faraway land, so they might also live in a free country where people have a chance. Who would do that for America? We owe Greg and his family for that sacrifice, as do the people of Iraq. God bless his family, and may his courage and sacrifice never, ever be forgotten by the people of this country and the world.

God Bless,
Larry Moonan, Monterey CA (formerly of Boonville NY, where Greg attended High School)"
Larry Moonan of Monterey, CA USA

"Greggy i love you , u and i were so close and i dont know what im going to do with out u!"
Danielle of Forestport, NY

"I also Wrote this poem for Greg:

Fallen:
A life was taken from the land,He fell to the gound with a gun in his hand,His family weeps,Now his soul in peace sleeps,I remember when he was here,Now I hold our memories near,He honered his country he stood through,For me and for you,He was a young soldier,A hero at that,For now in Gods world he stands up to bat,His gravestone will say his name his date of birth and his day of death,There in that spot he is layed to rest,But his spirt will live on the battle feilds he fought,But in my mind Gregory's memory will always be in thought!"
Sarah of Forestport

"I knew Greg since I was 5 years old.His sister Becky and me were in Kindergarden together and Greg was just the coolest.Last year when I entered highschool Greg was a Senior and he was still the coolest.He had a saying that duct tape fixes everything!He would just always have his headphones blarin,Even though he seemed like a punk he was there for anyone that he needed to be there for.He would never let you down!Greg is in my memory forever!Im sure if anyone knew him all they would have to say is good things .Greg loved everyone and everyone loved Greg.I never said good-bye to Greg before he left to fight in mission"Iraqi Freedom".We kind of grew apart when he graduated but the friend ship was still there.If I could say one more thing to Greg id say of course teary eyed"You made all of us proud!I wish you would have made it so we all could hear your war storys,and most of all i wish you made it so we could all have our Greggy back.I love you forever and You better be practicing your hackie sack in heaven because I know of alot of teen age boys that cant wait to be hackin it up in heaven with you...never forget me...ill never forget you"Greg was more than the punk kid in school he was a good guy and he changed alot of lives!I never lost anyone before,Im 16 and its hard.Sometimes i wanna cry sometimes i wanna laugh,Sometimes i wanna talk bout it and sometimes i dont.The death of Greg has made me look at life from a different prospective,It made me think will i make it to 20.But Greg was the best!I love you forever Greg!!!!

Always Remember"Duct Tape Fixes Everything"But Greg not out broken hearts!!!!"
Sarah Johnston of Forestport,NewYork
