I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain I just want you to know you are all in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your sons diary with the world, the world is a better place because of him."
Daniel Harris of Colorado Springs. Colorado

"Jon, I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I am back in Iraq again and it just makes it so much easier for those memories to come to the surface. I don't have the right words, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry. Sometimes you just don't appreciate someone fully until they are gone forever. Be at peace, brother. I pray you are in a place where you can hear my voice and that you know how much you are missed."
Russ of Baghdad

"I was touched to tears watching Johathans story and am reminded by my own Vietnam experience, my fathers WWII combat, my grandfathers combat in WWI and three great great uncles who died in Civil War battles. Freedom is not free and if I could reenter service today I would do so. Johathans ultimate sacrifice is a reminder to all of us that we pay a high price for the lives we enjoy today. I pray for the family of Johathan and would like to see a follow up to find out what direction his brothers have or will take. Will they join the military as a tribute to there fallen brother? What an amazing man Johathan was and knowing such men existed reaffirms what we stand for morally and and blesses all Americans for his unselfish service."
Ron Rodd of Fremont, California USA

"I saw Jonathan's story today on TV and needless to say I was touched. I thank Jonathan and his comrads for the sacrifice they made for our freedom. I have 2 young boys age 9 and 7 who also watched and I think it is important for them to understand that there are unselfish people in this world, like Jonathan, who care about our country and our freedom. The real role models the children need to look up to today and model themselves after aren't singers, sports players, American Idols or the people on the cover of vanity magazines, but rather Jonathan and people like him! Jonathan you and your family are in our prayers.

With love and respect,

Chuck, Robin, Reese and David Murphy"
Chuck Murphy of Philadelphia, PA

"I saw Jonathan's documentary this morning. I am from Canada and have a cousin deployed in Iraq with the Marines, a friend deployed in Afghanistan with the Canadian forces and a friend who's brother was killed in action fighting with the Canadian forces in Afghanistan. Jon's film was one of the most moving things I've ever seen. Your family is in my prayers. Every day, the least I can do is ensure that the sacrifices of those who put on their country's uniform are not forgotten."
Adam of Toronto Canada

"i just saw the touching docu about jonathan.i am from the UK,but i recognise and respect the scarifice that US soldiers such as jonathan are making for all of us,in the western world.
Jonathan was an incredibly brave guy,but i would also like to comment the admirable actions of his mother and brothers in sharing his story with the world.
He,and others like him,who have given all in the name of liberty,will never be forgotten."
kat of mids,UK

"I respect and honor Jonathan for his honorable and selfless service to his country and to the innocent people in Iraq. I imagined myself, my brothers, my father and my mother in place of his family and I couldn't take it. I watched the documentary chronicling his and his comrades lives in Iraq and I got to see his character and the character of his comrades and the fun times they had. May GOD bless the innocents and strike down and show ultimate judgment against the
evil-doers in the world."
James L of Boise Idaho US

"I saw the documentary about Jonathon on tv last night, I wanted to write and thank you for sharing a moving tribute to a wonderful young man, and to extend my thoughts, prayers and hopes to you, your family and others who have lost children, husbands, wives, mothers and fathers to this war. I hold all of our service members in the highest esteem for their commitment and patriotism."

"I think of Jon often he was one of the few people who went out of there way to be a friend of mine. My most significant memories are of Thanksgiving in Fayetteville and a crazy climb over a barbed wire fence at Fort Hunter Ligget, Ca. And of course the letter I got from Jon a few days after I heard he had been killed. To Jon and those who loved him. I will never forget.
Also I have some video of Jon in California if anyone connected to Jon wants it. will.lock@us.army.mil"

"Jon,
Jon was my PSYOP Specialist and driver for almost a year. We trained together and deployed to Haiti as a team. We lived together in some miserable conditions there, but we had a lot of great times together watching movies, playing football with the Marines, and traveling through the country. He wanted to be an assistant team leader and was certainly deserving of the position. Although I hated to see him leave my team, it would've been selfish to keep him. He was a great soldier, one of the best in 950. I am proud to have known and served with Jon. It has been over a year since his passing, but I still think about him often. Jon had so much potential and his loss will surely be felt throughout the PSYOP community. My deepest sympathies go out to his family. His death was not in vein and his sacrifice will never be forgotten."
SSG Robert A. Hajny of Fayetteville, NC

"To Jonathan and Family,

I just want to say how sorry I was to hear that Jonathan paid the ultimate price for our freedom. I was one of Jonathan's recruiters in Bellingham, WA and he is also a good friend to my nephew, Christopher. It was Christopher who told me what happened. May God bless you and your family and your deeds will never be forgotten, you are trully my hero. Lest we forget."
Staff Sergeant Derek Duplisea of 101st ABN DIV (OIF III Iraq)

"Dear Jon, even though I don't really know you, I had the honor to wrestle you. I think we had a really close match where you barely beat me. I'm glad that people with really strong work ethics like you serve our military. I knew you were a hard worker just from the way you wrestled. God bless!"
John Chang of Shoreline, WA

"I am a senior at sehome high school and also know Jonathan's brother, Jared. When one of our teachers stood up today to talk about Jonathan and realized I felt more sad than I have just about ever felt, especially for Jared. We all wonder why things like these happen, its certainly not fair. Bless Jared and his family."
of Bellingham, Washington

"I dont know what to say to something as sad as this. But I will try. I am a Junior at Sehome High School and today is Veterans Day. We had an assembly honoring the brave men and women that fought for our country. During this assembly one of our teachers stood up and talked about Jonathan. Even though I didn't know him, I know his brother Jared, and I felt a great saddness for his family. I just wanted to say that you are not alone in this and my heart goes out to your family. God Bless."
Anonymous of Bellingham Washington

"Jon, you came into our lives and went. You were always special and gifted. For whatever reason, you had a calling above and we miss you so much. I saw the pride in what you believe and why you wanted to be there for our country. I see your smile reaching us from above. Yes, you're the greatest but I never got to tell you so. So, hear me now and know we love you very much. Be our guardian angel now and watch over your Mom, Chris and your brothers, Jared and Justin."

"Dear Jon,
I miss ya buddy. We just got home last week and I've already noticed the void you have left behind here. It's just not the same--Coaches, your old place, Secrets...and many other places where we used to go. Thank you again for your sacrifice and remember you're missed."
Jesse of Fayetteville, NC

"Jon,
I am so proud of you and the sacrafices you made. I am blessed to have known you personally and enjoyed the few times you came to our house. My husband, SSG Michael Owen was also very proud of the man and solider you were. He shared with me how glad he was to have you on his team and how much he trusted you. Now I personally think we need to have a talk about when you shaved his head in Haiti but right there shows trust if he let you near his precious hair!
Since Mike's last month couldn't be spent with me I'm glad he was among friends. I'm so sorry you didn't make it home from the mission on that awful day in October. If there is anything I can do for your family and friends please don't hesitate...

"Dear Jon,
Words cannot describe what a great loss you were. You were loved by so many, including myself. I only wish I could've told you so while you were still alive. I did my best to honor your memory and will continue to do so. I also did my best to keep Summer from dishonoring your memory and I hope that it brought you some peace. Not many people knew the truth about her and she is a great actress, so it was tough. I will continue to watch her and anyone else who threatens your name or your family. I would've done anything for you while you were alive and I still will. I couldn't have asked for a better friend. You will always be in my heart. God bless ya "face." I'll never forget you."

I can only say that I feel lucky to have had you in our detachment for the time that I was there. You were a damn good soldier, and will not be forgotten.
