"To the family of Corpsman Alday, his Marines and fellow corpsmen, his friends, I extend to you my condolences. I too have carried the body of my fallen corpsman who lost his life trying to save other Marines. He had a baby daughter born that he never got to see. Doc. Beamon was only 19, but I carry his memory every day. This video is of my nephew SSgt Josh Milsop's team in Iraq two years ago. It is dedicated to Doc Alday.

"The soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We are young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours they will mean what you make them. They say: Weather our lives and our deaths are for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this. They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young. they say. We have died. Remember us:"
William Taylor of Bonita Springs, Fl.

"I went to Corpschool with Alday. I still remember him and think of him from time to time. He was such a nice person and I can still remember him laughing and always smiling.

HM3 Jessica Anderson of Jacksonville, FL

"I was Zach's Leading Petty Officer during this time with 1/7 Marines and had to identify his body. Zach was an awesome person, Sailor, Hospital Corpsman, and Field Medical Technician. Always with a smile and something nice to say. We named the Regimental Aid Station in Al Asad, Iraq after him. He will always be remembered by us and the ones who will come after us!
