As you are, I am so sorry he's gone. And, as you do, I struggle with it each and every day. May his soul rest in peace and may he be proud of those who love him as he watches over us.

Chris, I will never forget how much you mean to me. I miss you."

"To the family of Chris, I'd like to express my sincere gratitude and sympathy. Though I was never fortunate enough to meet Chris, I viewed firsthand the love and care his youngest sister provided him throughout his last tour in Iraq. Chris was obviously one of our nation's ultimate patriots. More importantly, if the love of his sister was any indication, Chris was a wonderful husband, son and brother. May God bless his proud family."
Patrick of Columbus, Ohio

"SSG Dill was truly an extraordinary soldier. I did not know him personally, although he was located the same place I was. What I do know, is that he died for a cause greater than that of the war itself. He put his life on the line for an injured Iraqi soldier and in doing so met his fate. But this gesture shows how understanding and caring he was. How many other soldiers can say they gave their life for that of an Iraqi? The Iraqi soldiers he worked with were brothers to him just as the American soldiers and that is something that goes beyond the boundries of the war. SSG Dill is a true war hero who would not leave a comrade behind. May he never be forgotten!!!"
UNK of New York

The boys and myself want to let you know at all times you are in our hearts and our prayers. The boys often wonder how you are and if the pain is getting any better. We loved Stephen very much and are still facing the fact that he's gone everyday. All of our soldiers are brave and will continue to be heroes to us for the rest of our lives. We hold you dearly in our hearts knowing that on the same day every year we will be thinking of the same thing at the same time and feeling the same tug in our hearts.
