I have made several Memorial Dog Tags that I wear around my neck, and I have given a lot of them to my fans to wear around their necks. John is remembered and loved, everytime I play my song Soldier Coming Home, which was written with Johnny in mind, I just close my eyes and he is right there on stage with me. This song is not for sale so this is not a plug, just a memory and thank you, thank you Johnny for being such a great friend all those years ago and still being a great friend from heaven! Miss ya buddy"

Brandy Bates of Alabaster, Alabama

"I cant believe Im just now posting after all these years but I decided to get a KIA bracelet made but at the time I was far to young to REALLY know anybody to honor so I told the company to give me a random person so that I can honor them and be reminded every single day how blessed I am to live in this great country! I joined the Army in 2011 as a Radio Operator Maintainer (25C) and just like John I enjoy what I do and understand the sacrifices that have to be made! Ive been wearing this KIA bracelet since 2006 and Im just wanting to say Thank you John and Thank you to his friends and family!"

"Wow, what can I say. I always have dreams and visions leading up to this day, this anniversary, this transition from Earth to enternal rest for Brown & Foley. My name is Corey Sibley of TN. I was Brown's supply sergeant when he stepped foot into Bravo Battery back in December of 2002. I issued him his weapon, his first set of combat uniforms. I remember his laughter when he would come to my office wanting to help me out and get away from everybody else! To the family: I consider it an honor and privilege to have been a part of Brown's latter portion of his life. Currently, I am out of the military and work in the music industry in Nashville, TN. I would like to make some special contributions towards Brown, Foley and Parkers' memories with some friends of mine in the music world. If at all possible please forward me your contact information so that I can get in touch with you.

Katie Hawkins Beall of Honolulu, Hawaii

"I served with one of the best soldiers one could ask to be in combat with. A friend and a comrade. Where so many doubted and fell short, Johnny kept hope alive and strived to be the best at everything. He had a heart beyond what most human beings are given. Not only did he care about his fellow soldiers but also for the people of the country we were liberating. I will miss him until we meet up again. His courage and inner strength is to me a direct reflection of his family who stood with him and with us even until now."

"There's another world inside of me that you may never see
There's secrets in this life that I can't hide
Well somewhere in this darkness there's a light that I can't find
Well maybe it's too far away
Or maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could

I'd give up everything If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone

When your education x-ray cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing that I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness, I'm alive but I'm alone
And part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone

Maybe I'm just blind

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
And love me when I'm gone
Everything I am
And everything in me
Wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone,
Love me when I'm gone,
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone"

"For the Brown Family:

It's been nearly two years since our loss, and I wish again to reassure you that I have not forgotten Johnny. As I type, I want you to know that the circumstances surrounding the incident that took our children is being re-investigated and I have been in contact with the CID (Criminal Investigation Division - they are the ones who investigate these things) agent in charge from Ft. Campbell. Many unanswered questions are now being addressed on behalf of my Congressman, Hon. Bill Frist, of Tennessee.

I wrote him shortly after Thanksgiving last fall, and in January, I received a call from CID, Ft. Campbell, that the case had been reopened and is being reinvestigated. Soon, we should have the answers we are looking for, and with those answers, some piece of mind and some closure.

There isn't a day go by that I don't think of both our sons, and when additional information becomes avvailable to me, I promise that you'll have it the very same day. I give you my word as a father and as a veteran soldier.

If you have any specific questions, I can be reached at : TFoleyjr43@AOL.com

Again, my condolences on your loss."

John E's family has always been and will always be in my heart. To John E....I still love you. I have always loved you. You are my baby. My little brother. I remember when you lived across the street from me and you would sneak out of your window when you were grounded and come to my house. We would sit on the front porch, or on the trampoline, and just talk...all night long. I remember one time in particular. You snuck out just to come to my house to let me hear the new Boys II Men song, on Bended Knee. And remember the night that we were coming from church and we took A.S. home and then wrecked on that dirt road...and my parents were SO mad! MAN I MISS YOU!...and "Nobody Knows It But Me.""

"Words cant say enough Blaze. What a great and only best friend youve been to me. All the crazy times at the Country Club. You was like my big brother. You would give your shirt off your back.

And that when you left us from this Earth you was doing what you wanted to do, And you did it well, And you had confidence in yourself, and courage and bravery about yourself. And i want every one to know what a wonderful true down to earth person you was Blaze. Blaze i remember at Christmas when i had no family to go to really. You told Me..."Brotha you spendin christhmas with us..you my little brotha you just like family..boy get in that kitchen and eat you some turkey. All the times me, you, and your dad sat out back on the porch and smoke Dorals and drink Bud Light. And you would walk down to the house with a case a beer Eds credit card and a pack a cigarettes and some pork chops. Not forgetting your Hawaiin shorts and ya flipflops you had done spun out. And me and you and Ashley ridin around in the buick with her blastin the radio and you beggin her to stop the car so you could walk home. Yep that was the days. Thats when i grew up a whole lot Blaze.. Thanks for the late night conversations and all the crazy road trips and being a person i could look up to for anything. I cant say or do enough. Always remember "Hey brotha i got nuttin but Love for ya". I think about you every day man. Its so hard man to have to thank everyday man that your actually gone. I sometimes think to myself naw Blaze aint gone but you are. But i know u looking over me ever step of the way. And ill keep our truce.. Im not gonna let you down.And daddy misses you alot to man.We both tear up when one of us bring up your name up. And your family miss you so much man to. More than youll ever know. You are loved by everyone. In my closing i would like to send my Condences to all the familys who lost a loved one in Iraq. What Brave and Courageous Men and Women they are. And to the 101st Airborne for making a boy into a man and teaching him morals and values of life and letting him be all he could be and doing what he loved and never giving up to defend this great country cause he was a diehard, Fight till the end type of guy. But im gonna end this very hard to type message and thinking the lord for letting me have a great friend like PFC. JOHN ELI BROWN 101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION. I wish you all wouldve known him im sure he appreciates all the praises and thanks everyone has gaven him for fighting so hard and his family thanks yall to. Blaze im gone get on outts here now though but always remember "YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME AND BROTHA I AINT MAD AT CHA" Peace out BLAZE R.I.P.
