"Paul...Brother,

I miss you man.
Honestly I did not know a more professional soldier.

Just wanted to thank you again for helping me and my family get a house while we were stationed together at Aviano AFB, Italy.

I still recall the last time that I saw you while on the Nightstalkers compound at Fort Campbell, KY. I could not believe that we lost you here in the Philippines...where I am now. I didnt know any of the aircrew...just you.

You are not forgotten!!!

"I served with Paul at Camp Humphreys in South Korea from 91-92. Dedicated to his country and all about taking care of business. The aviation family is a small one. The world is without a great guy, friend, and soldier. I pray for him often."

"Paul,
I would like to say thank you to you and the other men who were on that helicopter with you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy."

"Paul was not only a incredible flight engineer on his aircraft but a great father of two wondeful boys. He is sadly missed, but fondly remebered. We served in Italy where he was most at home, and always had an open door. May you go in peace, brother, and we will always be grateful for your ultimate sacrifice."

"Thanks for stepping forward when America needed you. To the family - Thank you for your contribution to our liberty and freedom. I'm sorry for your tremendous loss."
Ronald Carlson of Montrose, MN

"I knew him as Paul Dorrity and Paul and Tim Hannon and I hung out together as the 'three amigos' for some time in our early twenties. I loved his stories of Europe and far off places. I served with Dorrity at his first regular duty station; Ft. Lewis, WA from 1986-1988. He is one of the fellas I remember the most and I have spoken fondly of him often to my family and friends. Although I have not seen him in more than 15 years and I already missed him, knowing that he is no longer on this earth makes me miss him a factor more.

Paul, thank you for your courage, bravery and sacrifice. You fought the enemy who would not declare themselves. You are a true hero from the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. God Bless You!

Duty, Honor, Country, Hard Core!

Bill of Houston, Texas

"S/Sgt Dorrity was taking the battle to our nation's enemies in a remote ignored by the press part of the world.

He and his fellow soldiers made sure that those who would kill his fellow citizens had no rest, no base from which to launch such an attack.

God bless him for making every American family that much safer."
The Estes Family of Phoenix, AZ
