Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"Hello,

I think I may have a photograph of your son. I found a picture of who I think might be him. My soon to be ex was friends with a Kenny Jenkins in basic training and deployed at the same time. It was around February 2007 when Charles deployed for a 2nd time as an MP. He told me he PCS to Germany. I guess this Kenny and him were super close, but I have never met him in person."

"My name is SFC Sanchez, German, I met Kenny when we were station in Ft Hood, 1-22INF we became best friends in no time, he was an awesome person, a great friend and one of the best NCO I had the pleasure to serve with. We deployed to Iraq in 2003 and lucky me we end up being in the same platoon, and every time we went out on mission I new that he was watching my back as I was watching his, before we left for Iraq his wife made me promise to keep him safe and thanks to GOD I was able to do that. Kenny I still remember the last time I saw you when you went to Ft Benning for BNOC, we got to hang out one last time, I am glad we did my brother. To his wife and his family I am sorry that I could not been there to watch his back, there is no day that goes by that I think about you my brother GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY and I hope to see you again."
SFC Sanchez German of ARL, Adelphi MD

"I knew Kenny personally because he was married to one of my best friends. I was a bridesmaid at his wedding in 2004 and I was also at his funeral/memorial service in 2006. Kenny was an amazing person and an amazing soldier. I will always remember his LOVE FOR FORD MUSTANGS! I am honored to have known him and his wonderful family. I think of him often and I will always be grateful for his service and for his ultimate sacrifice fighting for OUR freedom. Thank you Kenny! We will see you again some day! Thank you for being a HERO!"

"Kenny was the definition of a soldier...if you looked it up in the dictionary you would see his face! He loved being a soldier and he served our country with pride, Kenny gave the ultimate sacrafice and for that we thank him. He was also a wonderful friend to me. It is because of him that I found who I really was! I think of him often and I know he is watching over all of us. To all of his family and friends,even after 5 years this Soldier is still protecting our country! Rest in Peace my friend! We all love and miss you Kenny, All gave some, and some gave all!"
ERICA of Kentucky

"Kenny was a great soldier--and when I knew him, a great kid. I was stationed with him in Baumholder in 2000/1. I remember that even in his personal life, he was extremely disciplined--his appearance, his clean room, organizing his DVDs and games--and this translated to his superior military performance. Even at 19, he was confident and competent. In spite of our difference in station (I was second in command of his company), he had a great influence on me. I wanted to be a better leader, to be worthy of leading someone of his caliber. He was the kind of person that makes everyone around him better.

It's five years later that I'm learning of his death. Ironically, I was in Iraq, and not too far away from him, when he died. In spite of my sadness to learn of this news, I'm proud to know that he had made SSG; I'm certain he was the best squad leader in his battalion.

God bless him and his family. I'm truly sorry for your loss."
John Volkmar of Boulder, Colorado, United States of America

"I knew Kenneth thru a family marriage. Wouldn't say I knew him personally, but what little time I was around Kenneth was enough for me to define his character. Kenneth was a great, caring, brave man. He is greatly missed and appreciated by all of us, and the Kenneth Jenkins Expressway named in his memorial gives me chills every time I'm in his hometown. Best of wishes to all of his family, I know your loss is awful. Just wanted to let people know that he is still remembered for his bravery this many years later."
Chelsea W. of Genoa, AR
