"May 25 2009
I just want the family of Wyatt Eisenhauer to know that there are soldiers that still remember what kind of soldier he was and the shock when we heard that he had fallen. I have since moved on to other posts and been in other platoons, But I will always consider myself a 2-70th Saber. He was one of the best soldiers I ever knew."

"My name is Cameron Schilling and I have started “Portrait of a Soldier” which donates a portrait sketch of every Illinois soldier who has fallen in Iraq or Afghanistan. All 122 sketches will be on display for a Memorial Day Presentation in Chicago, Illinois on May 26-31 at the James R. Thompson Center in downtown Chicago. After the ceremony the sketches will be given to the immediate families of the Illinois soldiers. I would invite any friends or family members to come and honor these men and women from Illinois who have given their lives to our country. For more information please contact OperationHomeFront.org at 866-417-8889 which is an organization headed by the Lt. Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois who is in charge of the Memorial Day Presentation. Thank You.

"To Wyatt's family,
This has been a very hard time for you, we know all to well. Our son, Sgt. Kenneth J. Schall, pasted 3 days after Wyatt. They were from the same unit in Riley.
And now with their unit is home and safe, our soldiers can rest in peace. Their mission is finally done.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of all the men of the 2-70th. They are by far the bravest group of men around. I look forward to the day that I can meet them.
I am so sorry for your loss and know that your lives are forever changed.
But we need to love, remember and honor our boys, they deserve nothing less."
Terri L. Schall of Prescott Valley, AZ

"So very sorry we didnt get closer. But i knew enough of you to know that you are a great man. The boys are home now but its not the same without you. Thank you for serving with me and may god put his healing hand on your family. You are never forgotten"
Spc. Hughes of Ft. Riley

"My name is Cameron Schilling. I am a college student from central Illinois. I am the first generation of my family not to serve his country. I am extremely grateful for the sacrifice you and your loved one has given for the United States. I am disappointed by the way the news media has covered this war and the deaths of our youth. The media as stopped listing the names of the soldiers killed in Iraq and people only talk about the soldiers when we reach a specific milestone in deaths. If you just started watching the news today you would not even know there is a war going on. Partisan politics have replaced coverage of our young generation who have traveled to a foreign land in the name of the United States. Whether you believe the war in Iraq is wrong, right, justified or not everyone should pay even just a little more attention to what these young men and women are sacrificing. This is what I would like to do. I want to do my part in honoring these soldiers and their memories. Along with being a college student I am also a budding artist. I draw pencil portraits of local people in my community. I want to offer a pencil portrait sketch to the immediate family of every Illinois soldier killed in Iraq. Please contact me at cameronschilling84@hotmail.com."

"To the family of Wyatt.
I didn't know your son, but he will never be forgotten. My husband was the 1st soldier to be KIA from 2-70.
I share your pain and I know what you are going throught. God bless!
Proud widow of a soldier!!"
Karin Payne of KS

"Wyatt,

I hope you know Mom and I tried to be good parents and we love you dearly.
people try to reassure us that for the kind of person you were we had to have
been good parents. If we had anything to do with your virtues and abilities
then we succeeded in that respect but you were short-changed so many times
in so many ways in life and we feel kind of guilty about that, that we were
not able to make things better for you.

There is a mememorial fund started for you, we hope to get it on the internet
and somehow make something really big out of it. We'll use it for things that
we know you would have done. Mom mentions things like kids who want to be in band
but can't afford an instrument. I don't know how to bring all this about but
instead of thinking it's just a pipedream and forgetting about it, I'll find out,
you went after your dreams. Maybe someone will read this and offer some advice
to eisnhr6@onecliq.net

We're gonna miss you Wyatt"
Dad

"Wyatt will never be forgotten, we thank him for his sacrifice, know that he is home & safe, & will always be with you in spirit & I pray that you will find comfort & peace in all the messages from people that care & feel your pain, I lost my grandson in Iraq Dec.3, 2004 so I know how much people care and appreciate the sacrifice that these young men made. We are so very very proud of Wyatt & my grandson Matt Wyatt & all the men & women serving our country. God bless you and give you peace & we will see our loved ones in heaven. Hold on to all the memories you have, that really means a lot to talk about all the good times you had together."
