"CW3 Eric W. Totten was a great friend. I knew him while I was assigned to C Co 7-101, I was a young solider then but he left me with a lasting impression on life. I later ran inton him in Bagram, Afganistan in 2006 when I was on my way home from Pakistan. He asked me did I remeber him, I replied with"How could I forget you." We shared our last laugh together. YOU ARE TRUELY MISSED"

"I had the distinct pleasure of serving with Eric while attending Warrant Officer Candidate School, Survival Training, CH-47D "Chinook" Aircraft Qualification Course, and while we were both assigned to 7/101 AVN REGT at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. We laughed on so many different ocassions while assigned together where that is all that I remember now when I think of "Mr. Totten." There were lots of times when we would watch "Ranger TV" (which is a campfire for those that don't know what "Ranger TV" is) together and I remember when we would all talk about what would we were going to do when we got out of the Army and went home. Eric once said that he wouldn't know what to do as a civilian because all that he knew was how to be a soldier.... He was the best at it to. We all admired him for that. Eric, my dear friend and colleague, you were a soldier to the end and I will never forget you. My deepest sorrow to your family. With love always, brother... - Fred"

"As a part of the family who especially was very upset with the protestor that were going to show up. I want to send out a heart felt THANKS!!! to the honor guard. I really wanted to inflict bodily harm on those protestors but when my family and I got there and saw the tremendous support from the honor guard and the city people and the police and the fire dept. We were over whelmed with all the support. My Cousin Died doing something he believed in. He did his job and loved flying. I wish I could live my life as half as well as he did. For There is no greater honor than a man lays his life down for another. Even if it is his job.
Thanks for all the support. My family appreciates it."
