I would like to say thank you to you and the other sailor who was in that Humvee with you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy."

"I will never forget the day you died. It is still hard for me to deal with the fact that you are gone. You were a great friend, and an awesome Corpsman. I enjoyed serving with you. Now, as we (NMCB-25) are about to leave this country (Iraq), I realize that part of me will stay here. I will never forget you, Jaime, and am better off for having known you. May God bless you in Heaven and may He watch over Kayla and your family. I will never forget you."
