Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"It has been 19 years since your passing, and I deeply regret not being able to alter the course of events that led to your death. I apologize Brother, for any mistreatment or neglect that you may have endured during your time with us. It pains me to think that you are no longer with us and that you were denied the opportunity to enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as riding the Harley you dreamt of owning. However, I want you to know that you will always be considered a cherished member of our family and a Marine. Although you are no longer with us, your memory will continue to live on in our hearts and minds. Rest in peace, and know that you will never be forgotten."
Capt Billy Crytser of San Diego, CA

"Brian I think about you ever so often. I remember the times in JROTC during our Senior Year in HS. I remember the times you would come over and have dinner with my family. I miss you!

You are Always Remembered and Never Forgotten!"

You allowed me to see peace in that moment in time. I pray your younger sister always knows that she has a big bro in the Marine Corps who will take care of her.

"Brian was in my NJROTC class during 2001/2002. He was a terrific cadet and we were sorry to see him move on to another school. The news of his death saddened all of us at Bloomington High School. During a visit to the Riverside National Cemetery, several of Brian's classmates visited his grave and paid their respects. It was a touching moment for those of us who sometimes forget the sacrifices that are being made on our behalf. Rest in Peace, Brian."

Lcpl Davis of 3rd aabn B co.

"I will never forget your kindness and your own unique way of doing things, like wearing those bright orange Dickies and old Star Wars shirt you loved. Or how when Frannie introduced me to you, she called me just "Mark's girlfriend," as if I had no name. I so value memories like this of you and I feel honored that I knew you. I still find myself waiting to see if you need a ride home after school sometimes, or to go down to Super Duper Video, hoping that you are working that day... then it hits me. I miss you so much, the whole group does. I am glad you got to love out your dream though, you did become a Marine.
Love Always,
"Mark's Girlfriend""
