"I was in Kansas with my now ex-husband when Navarro arrived at Ft. Riley. Navarro spent time at my house, either with my neighbor Tashia, or babysitting my kids. I remember the day the unit left for Iraq and I remember that Navarro was scared that he wasnt going to come back. I remember looking at him and saying "Navarro, you scared?". He didnt say anything but shook his head. I told him that everything would be ok and we would see him when he got back. Little did I know, that would be the last conversation I had with him. Rest in peace Navarro. God is on your side!!"

I was very honored to have met your family this past weekend. I went back to Ft. Riley for the homecoming party for the ACES of Death.
My son, Sgt Kenneth J. Schall, and your friend and fellow soldier from the ACES died in May. You were very comforting to me with your emails of the stories about the time that you spent with Kenny. When I heard that you too had fallen, it broke my heart all over again.
Your bravery and sacifice will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!
You, Kenny, Michael & Brian are in God's Army now, he has the Best of the Best. You are so missed and very much loved."
