"I had the honor of serving with Paul in the 106th. I did not know him as well as others because I joined not to long before we went to Iraq. I worked in a different section so I didn't see him often but I feel your loss and hope to one day be back serving with he, Bruce and Brian and watch over our families."
Ronnie Milburn of Davenport, Iowa

"I served with Paul not only in combat but we trained together in the same class at Fort Eustis Virginia. We shared many memories together and I remember that day like it was yesterday. You are always in my heart, I will never forget. You were a great man who left a mark on me. God bless you Paul you will always be missed."

"I was one of the Army Nurses assigned to the 82nd Airborne's Forward Surgical Team just outside Falluja. I was there on 2 November and cared for those soldiers injured and killed in the helicopter crash. I have no idea if I cared for SGT Fisher or not, but I like to think the care we provided that day comforted those fallen troopers. Words can't express my sorrow for your loss, but please know that in his final moments he was not alone, and we really fought for all of them."
