"We often say goodbye or he's going home. We fail to mention what they have done before they left us. SFC Terry Wallace has done whole lot more for us, he was my mentor and friend. We should remember him by the "Dash" meaning from the time that he was born to the time that he passed. That dash represents everything that he has done and what he meant to us in our life. So lets not talk about his pass, lets remember that Dash. I'll see you again my friend."

Together we stand strong because of the leadership you provided. The dedication and compassion you show everyday to your fellow soldiers will live with us forever. You were there for me anytime day or night. You were the first at the hospital when Lakeyn was born. Maybe thats why he still ask where is Wallace.

"To the family and friends of Terry: Even though he is no longer with us on earth, he has left his full presence in our hearts. Terry, I believe you are with God smiling down on us. Hopefully, you remember all the good times from high school to us being in Hawaii together. It's funny how we grew up in such a small town and still years later ended up all the way in Hawaii. I sit back and laugh at the pictures of us eating and playing cards. You use to cheat but, I forgive you. Thank you my brother-in-law and friend. May your soul rest in peace. You gave the ultimate gift, which is your life for our country. I hope your death will render peace and tranquility to all. May God continue to bless all fallen soldiers and soldiers at war for this country."
