"To the Family of 1st Lt. Wilkins III,

My name is Robert E. Sigler and I'm from Tiffin, Ohio. Lt. Wilkins was my Lt. in Iraq. At first I was not sure about him because he was a new officer with our platoon. It only took a week to see that he was a vary special man. I miss him so much, he always gave up his time to check up on us. He watched over us in our time of need. I feel bad because we would get mad at him sometimes. He was what a true officer should be. I love him as a good friend. I am sorry that this took place. I thought that you may like to hear from a person who was with Lt. Wilkins. I will always remember him and I still use his advice on things. He will be missed by a lot of people. I know he is in heaven now looking at us.

SPC. Robert E. Sigler 216th/612th Engineer Battalion, OH Army National Guard."

"My dear Chuck,
You were my Hero in Life. I loved you as I've loved no other. I didn't get the chance to say Goodbye. I always thought we'd have our next chance and someday we'd get it right. I think of you first when I open my eyes to another day and when I close them at night. You are missed more than I can say. You were my soul mate and my best friend. I look to the heavens in hope that you know how much I loved you."
