Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"July,2008
At times I still don't know what to say and don't want to believe that he's gone. I still put flowers on his grave everytime I go to the cemetary. Tim Shea was one of the most kind-hearted and fun loving people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and I miss him to this day. He will never be forgotten and will always live on in my heart!"
Julie Reiter of Sonoma, CA
