"I met you once while we were in Iraq. You and Shreeves came into my tent to see the groundhog I was feeding. Your team joined my team in efforts to serve Christmas dinner to the troops. It was a pleasure to meet you, and work with you. I would have liked to have known you more, especially since everyone spoke so highly of you. Perhaps on the flip side. Peace and love."

"My emotions are high for the family of SPC Rogers. He was on the team that my husband use to be on. Also a 92G same as I. I met SPC Rogers once before he left and my husband spoke highly of him. He said that he was a pleasant person to talk to. SPC Felder and I have worked together for over 2 years. I went to the services here in WA and it was extremely painful to go through but very memorable. Very close to home. My sympathy is with the Family. My prayers go to them for strength to endure this moment in their life."
