"I was shocked to learn this past week of Duane's death nearly three years ago. I'm so sorry for the the loss of not only a courageous soldier, but also a good man and fellow Warrior. While Duane and I hadn't spoken since our time together at Walled Lake Western, I consider him a friend and a hero. I'll be sure to visit next time I am at Arlington. Duane, I'm sure you're resting in the peace that God has promised. You are not forgotten. God Bless You and your family."

"My prayers and thoughts go out to your family Duane, I only recently found out of your death and it's devastated me... all this time I thought life or our respective deployments had just gotten in the way and we'd lost touch only for a while. Never did I think it was something like this.
I'm going to miss our long talks, and the laughs we shared. You'll always be in my prayers my friend, thank you so much - for everything. I'll never forget you."
