"TO THE CORPUZ FAMILY
I AM VERY SORRY TO SAY HOW VERY SORRY THAT YOU SON BERNARD HAS FALLEN BUT I CAN SAY THIS HE DID NOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. MY SELF AND YOUR SON WERE CLOSE BECAUSE HE WOULD COME TALK TO ME ON HOW THINGS WERE AND HOW PROUD HE WAS TO SERVE WITH ME AND MY FELLOW SOLDIER'S. I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS VERY PROUD TO SERVE WITH YOUR SON. MYSELF AND DOC MULGARA DONE EVRYTHING WITH IN OUR POWER TO KEEP HIM ALIVE AS LONG AS WE DID. THE GRATITUDE THAT I ONLY WANTED WAS TO SEE HIM COME UP TO ME AND SAY THANK YOU FOR WHAT I HAD DONE. MYSELF AND DOC BREATHED AND PUMPED HIS HEART FOR 50 MIN. OR MORE. I THANK YOU MR. AND MRS. CORPUZ FOR LETTING YOUR SON TO SERVE IN OUR PROUD ARMY TODAY. THAT DAY WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED WAS THE DAY I KNEW WHAT IT MENT TO BE A NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER. THIS IS MY SORROW TO YOU. BECAUSE IT HURTS ME THE MOST BECAUSE I AM A PARENT MYSELF. I WISH THAT I COULD HAVE SEEN YOUR SON ONE LAST TIME TO SAY BYE! YOUR SON WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN IN MY MIND AND MY HEART."

Our security here comes at the highest price. Thank you for your life and your bravery.
You are very loved and will be missed by many."

"Corpuz, I heard at drill last month about the convoy attack. It was the first time that someone I knew on a personal level was killed since this all began on 9/11, and it was a really strange feeling. Thanks for the good times, and for introducing me to Drakken. I keep struggling with the decision to volunteer for deployment, so help me make the right decision. See you when I see you."
