"Lucky you were more of a man than I kind gentle and always smiling no matter what I asked you to do you did it. To all that read this Bryan was a true hero. I think of you everyday and your family as well I hope they are doing well I miss you so much I was devistated to here you left us I remember the first day you showed up in Alaska what a soldier you were and friend the long nights working on your blazer what a basket case but as normal you were optimistic about what it could be and it was I WILL NEVER ALLOW THEM TO FORGET YOU. I named my daughter after you. You were the best man I have ever met and am honored to do so. She will always know who you were and she is honored to hold your name. I came to see you last year forgive me if I wasn't strong enough to stand at your feet. Maybe this year I will be. Rest my brother for you will never be forgotten. For his family you should be proud this man was amazing he was with us a short time but touched so many . THANK YOU"

"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry at times. I understand, in theory only, that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take your families and friends pain away but I can't. I am committed to loving ALL people, myself and our environment. I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life.

"My name is SSgt Alan Smith out of Pope AFB. I only met Sgt. Bryan Luckey once and that was when I help carry his body on the plane in Kuwait City, the plane that brought him back home. I was one of six men that where picked at random to perform the “ramp service”. Out of all the caskets I help put on plans the mouths that I was there, his is the only one I think about. After the Chaplin said his prayer and all of us where living the plane as it was about to take off, I said a little prayer for him myself. After that I feel like I knew him too, even though I know I did not. I’m very sorry that he was taken from you so early."

"I wanted to let you know that I stopped in Fort Benning Georgia at the base and bought a memorial bracelet. I served in Desert Storm 1991 as a E-5 with 142nd FA in Iraq and I have been to Mosul. I wear my bracelet daily in memory of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I never take it off. I want you to know that Bryan's name is on my bracelet and that I honor him everday, though I never met him, I have the greatest respect for him.

I want you to know, I woke up this morning thinking of you and your beautiful family. Our paths would have never crossed had it not been for your sacrifice and our son's sacrifice to our country. Two Christian men given a task of standing when others couldn't and fighting for freedom while sharing the gospel in a dangerous land. The Lord gave your family to ours as a gift from you. I know you and our son became fast friends when you went home to be with the Lord. You would be so proud of your wife. She has display a quiet, elegant strength that only the Lord can give through this tragic time in her life. Your son is a jewel. He will know you as a true Hero. Your parents and brothers have shared your story and made you proud. We have heard of your men, bringing comfort to your family and sharing you,the soldier to them. They have given your family sweet gifts to help them heal while they cope with your absence. They have honored you and giving your family even more pride of the unit you served with. Until we can meet you, thank you for what you did for this family. We will be forever grateful.
