"I recovered a bracelet with Sgt Conneway's name on it this morning while snorkling in the Guadalupe River in New Braunfels, TX. Apparently someone floating down the river lost it. I am moved and honored to have it. I feel God's presence and grace. I feel God calling me to find it's owner and return this bracelet. It has obviously been worn with pride for some time. This being July 4, Independence Day and my children's 19th birthday, I am insignificant yet powerful with God's knowing purpose. May God Bless your memory and purpose Sgt. Timothy M. Conneway. I look forward to meeting you in eternity."
Randy Horadam of New Braunfels, TX

"i was looking through an old photo album earlier and found a picture of you as a little kid in it. you were such a cute little kid. i can still remember one of our family visits to you in alabama. you were working in a movie theatre. i remember sittign at your feet while you sat in a recliner telling us all kinds of stories about what you've done and little pranks youd played. i thought you were the greatest guy ever and still do. i hate the fact that that is the only memory i have of you. i was too little and lived too far away to know my cousin the great soldier. i will always have a picture of you where all can see so i can tell anyone who sees it about my brave cousin. know you're missed, know you're loved, brave soldier up above."

A BLUE KNIGHT of enterprise alabama

"Tim,
I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

The Ranger Creed
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.

Acknowleding the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move farther, and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be. One-hundred-percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objectice and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor.

RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!"

"My name is Spc. Adam Rutkowski. I have served in OIF 4 and am deploying to Afghansitan in part of OEF. I am a member of the PA Army National Guard. While serving in Iraq, my wife had purchased a KIA bracelet for me and shipped it to me. The name on the bracelet was Sgt. Conneway's. As one soldier to another, he did exactly what he loved to do and died doing it. I wear his bracelet everyday since the day i recieved it. He did a great honor to his country and fellow Americans. I too have lost friends and brothers-in-arms that i had served next to. I know the sadness it brings. But when you have the chance to see him again, he will snap to attention and salute all of us for remebering him everyday. Thank You Rangers Lead The Way!! HOOAH!!!"
Spc Adam Rutkowski-3/103 In of Scranton, PA USA

"Tim was and is one of the greatest influences in my life. When I heard of his passing while on ship, docked in Singapore I was devastated. By far one of the greatest men I have even known. I live every day of my life to attempt to honor him and what it means to be a Blue Knight. The world is a lesser place without his presence."
Sgt Nicholas Barker of Camp Ljeune, NC

""If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.
Major Michael Davis O'Donnell

Dak To, Vietnam
America has been built on the blood
of Heros and Brave Men of Honor.
Thank you for your service and my
freedom.. May God bring comfort
to your loved ones.
You shall never be forgotten by
a grateful nation.""

"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Conneway,

First of all, I want to say that I feel sorry for your loss. You must know Timothy died being a hero. My name is Santiago Piñeiro, I am an eight grader at Doral Academy Charter Middle School. I live in Miami, Florida. I am from Argentina, and I came here two years ago. In my school, my classmates and I are doing a project. We needed to find a family that had a soldier in Iraq, and I decided to choose your family because I was really touched about what happened in your family. I am sure Timothy was a great man, and a very dedicated sergeant. He did a tremendous sacrifice for this great nation. I am sure you must be going through a very hard time, but you must know that I give you all my support and I’ll pray for him tonight and the rest of the nights. He would always be remembered, and never forgotten. Rangers lead the way!

Sincerely,
Santiago Piñeiro"

"On January 18, 2005 I received the Sgt. Timothy M Conneway memorial bracelet. I am honored every day to wear the name of this brave and selfless American soldier. As an Army ROTC cadet I can only hope to live up the example he has left those of us behind. No American should ever forget the sacrifice of Sgt. Conneway and his fellow fallen comrades. God bless them all and especially his wife and child, whom he never met. It has been two years to the day since he died in service to his country and not a day goes by where I don't think of what he has done for all of us. On behalf of every American I say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. God bless you and our other troops who have fallen as well as those still in service today. WE WILL NEVER FORGET"
