Rob,
Today would've been your 30th birthday! The girls and I went to the Primary school and they sang you Happy Birthday by the Memorial plaque with your name on it. Leilani bent over and kissed your name rubbing the plaque. She wanted to call you today to wish you a happy birthday but of course I told her it would be a very long distance call from here to Heaven to reach you. We spent time looking at pictures of your beautiful smile today too. We miss you so very much and not a day goes by that we don't talk about you. We love you & miss you!!!"

"I remember when I first got to the 3-505 82D Airborne in 1996, Mogensen was doing push ups for sgt, Miller. Moog had a huge smile on his face.He always did.Under adversity he shined like no other.After selection he came back to the 3-505 where he was my section sergent in AT-4 delta.We were out in the field training and another company was attacking our position.He was yelling out commands to the enemy to confuse them. they thought the yelling was coming from there own sergent and they broke contact giving us a momentary tactical edge.He was a friend a leader and a true Hero.

"To the Mogensen family and friends,
I was very deeply saddened to find out of Rob's passing, and wanted to share with everyone something that makes me think of him.
I served with Rob in the 82nd and remember well when he was a Private through to Sergeant, I wish I had a hand in him being the great solider that he was. It was all Rob, he worked so hard but made it look so easy. His sense of humor was so classy, he would give that half smile of his... and I knew just seeing it in his eyes it was going to be a remark or a joke that would have everyone laughing to no end. Even someone who was the butt of his joke couldn't help but find humor in his comments. He'll always be a hero in everyone's hearts he touched, I'll never forget him he really was a confident, dedicated, person who always carried himself as a hero."

"Dear Rob:

Today is your birthday. . . February 17, 2006.

I thank my God every time I remember you. . .
Philippians 1.3

I believe that God brings certain people into our lives for a reason. . . .Whatever reason God had in bringing us together, I'm just glad that he did. Although Bill and I only knew you a short time at the end of your life, you have certainly left your footprint on our hearts and we will carry our memories of you always.

Tonight we will be celebrating your life with Tanya, Josh, Vanessa and Leilani. Your family is such a blessing in our lives.

You would be so proud of Tanya. She has made certain that your service to God, your Country and your Family will forever be remembered. Bill and I have been fortunate to visit your gravesite in Arlington. Tanya has visited with the children numerous times.

Tanya has kept in touch with your Mother and all of the family with several trips to New York as well as phone calls. Your sister, Kayla, and brother, John also receive visits from Tanya and the kids in Charlotte, NC.

Tanya's Mother and Father, as well as her siblings, receive visits from Josh, Vanessa, and Leilani in both Louisiana and Texas. They are also in touch by phone constantly.

Tanya is vested in both Josh's and Vanessa's school activities. Josh is playing trombone and made the drum corps. You'd be so proud of his baseball prowess. He certainly has your determination (and stubbornness). Vanessa is definitely your princess with her grace and dance/gymnastic abilities. Both Josh and Vanessa participate regularly in Church and other service activities.

Leilani is definitely a gift from God. She has helped everyone in dealing with your loss by demanding attention. Everyone seems to agree that she has your mischievous smile.

We will always be grateful to our mutual friend, Barry Coyle, for introducing us. We talk about you so often with Barry and other friends.

Tanya and all of the kids are wearing a shirt with your picture on it today in honor of your birthday. We are celebrating your life tonight with Tanya and the kids, grilling steaks--one of your favorite things. Birthdays are little reminders from God. . that life is to be celebrated!

Happy Birthday, Rob! As your Christian brother and sister respectively, Bill and I miss you and we thank you for your sacrifice for so many.

With love and appreciation to God for your life,

Martha Server"

"Rob, not a day goes by where i dont think about you, you were my best friend, i miss all the good times we had during the Q course and in Group. My prayers go out to your family.

"i served with mog when he first came into the army at the 505th. i remember spending a lot of time out in the field with him and when he became one of my soldiers when i made e-5. Out of all of the soldiers i ever trained, mog made a name for himself getting his ranger tab and special forces tab. i have always been very proud of him for his accomplishments. unfortunately, i recently heard the news a year late and my heart is broke. My thoughts, prayers, and heart go out to his wife and his family. One time in the field, he expressed to me how much he loved his wife and at that time, kid, but i know that would of been extended to all his children now the love he had. I only hope that some day that they would grow to understand that i know mog had my back when i was in, and i know he was the same like wise to everyone else,but in my mind, and all the rest of his fellow soldiers, he was a real hero. i do miss him alot and hope that his family would find comfort someday. my prayers are always with you."

"I was scrolling through the list of those sisters and brothers that have given there lives in our country's most recent of battles, hoping not to find any names of people with whom I served. I was deeply saddened to find Robert amongst those names. We were in the same company, D co. 3-505, for a brief period before Moge went to Special Forces. I remember him always smiling, just as others have remembered him here. I felt lucky to have known such a friendly soul. My condolences to all of his loved ones. May peace be with you."

You are my big bro and I love you very much. You would be very proud of me if you were still here, but I know that you know. I finally made that move that you and John have been begging me to do. Moving to North Carolina was the best thing that I have done. Now I can see your children whenever I want. I can see you in your childrens eyes and expressions that they do and it is a great reminder of you. I miss you terribly and love you very much. This has been so hard for me, and I have pushed people away. There are days that go by that I just don't want to deal with it anymore. I know that you would want me to be happy and go on with my life but it is very difficult to be happy without you here.

I most liked Rob because he was always happy, smiling and joking around. It made it so much better to have him around. I most remember him on the 50cal. Always on the 50. And when it was time to go to work that man was all buisness. To Rob: Thank you for teaching me how to ride a motorcycle! I didn't know how before. I'll always remember that day at the fire base when we rode unitl the sun went down. It will always be one of my best memories."

He was everything you would expect from a Green Beret... Smart, Courageous and Engaging.

Truly just asking him all about his experiences and thanking him for serving his country. Rob, you have touched a lot of us and we miss you."
