"There is rarely a day goes by that I don't think of Adam. He was a wonderful son and a wonderful man. I wish that he could be memorialized by having an elementary school named after him, but I am sure the powers that be will never allow it.

"To everyone who has left comments on this page: My name is Ed Nowicki and I'm in need of your help. In december 2010 I requested that the Rochester Community School Board rename an elementary school in honor of Adam. So far I am being met with resistance from the school board. I started a Facebook page which is designed to show support for my proposal. The page is called "Support Adam M. Malson Elementary"
I need you to visit the page, where you can read articles giving the details of my proposal. I also ask that you "like" the page (if you agree with the idea) and MOST IMPORTANTLY: recommend the page to your friends/family/coworkers, ESPECIALLY if they are members of the Rochester community. Thank you, SSG Ed Nowicki"

"Dear Malson Family

It's been just over a year since this world lost a great man and a great soldier. I remember in the fall of 2004 when Adam came home to see his wife Lindsey who at the time has been my Platoon leader up until she became the XO for our Company. I met him briefly and right off the bat I knew he was a fun loving guy and it showed he made Lindsey's day when they were together. I was there the night my Squad Leader told me what happened to Adam and we both took a trip soon after to Lindsey's house to comfort her because we had so much love and respect for her and wanted to be there in her time of need. She has been by far my best PL I have ever had and everytime we go to a formal military function we always toast to Adam in his honor for he truly was a Leader soldiers would follow.

To LT Malson, Lindsey you have been such an inspiration of what it means to be a true warrior, and a young NCO like myself couldn't have asked for a better LT. I am so sorry for your loss. I like other NCOs who have been around you since before we joined HHC know that Adam holds a special place in your heart and one in our souls. It's been a highlight in my career to have served with you and my prayers go out to you and your family.

To Adam: You fought a the good fight, now go with God and fight no more. Will take it from here Sir!!."
SGT Michael Lang of Fort Drum, NY

"Maslon Family,
I did not have the pleasure of serving with 1LT Malson but I did have the pleasure of meeting him several times because his wife was my platoon leader. 1LT Malson will never be forgotten. I am now serving as a drill sergeant and I tell 1LT Malson story to my privates in hopes they will someday be a great leader like him. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lindsey I will always be here for you no matter when or where."
SSG Paula Jennings of Fort Drum, NY

"Dear Malson Family
I am the Leader of Girl Scout Troop 864 in New Jersey. My troop sent your son's/husband's platoon goodie bags and a letter for valentine's day through the Adopt a Platoon program. One of the first letters the girls received in return was from Adam. He took the time to answer all their questions and to thank them. I did not have the privledge to know him but the fact that he took the time to answer a letter written by a bunch of 9 and 10 year old girls from New Jersey is a real testament to his character and the type of man that he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. If you would like the letter he wrote on Feb. 9, 2005 please e-mail me and I will be happy to send it to you. Again, please accept our sincere sympathy for your loss. freuler4@optonline.net"

"To the family of 1st Lt. Adam Malson. I am sure that you have heard from many people during this sad time. I wanted you to know what your son and husband meant to his own soldiers. Our son served with 1st Lt. Malson in Iraq and was part of the mission. This is what he had to say, "He was such a great guy, but more than that, he was a great leader and we will all miss him so much." We are very sorry for your loss. We never met Adam, but he is a hero to us. Sincerely, the Lockes"

"It is hard to see a friend that we all loved be lost in a terrible bout with Iraq. Adam seemed to perish in a way that would make himself, and his family proud. I am proud to say that I knew Adam Malson. He was the kind of guy that would do anything for his friends. I thank Adam for all the memories through the past years, and wish his family the best. I am sad to see Adam leave, but am proud to say that I knew him. Thank you Adam"
Michael Moore of Rochester Hills, Michigan/ U.S.A.

"Adam was a true American, fighting for a cause he believed in - freedom for all. It is not always easy to understand or accept the path that they have chosen. But it had to have been Adam's way. The pain of your loss will not go away for a long, long time. It is something that will keep coming into your mind and heart. Please, seek help to get through your grieving. Hospice of Michigan is a great help. I sought their help when I lost my nephew in Iraq (Ssgt. Paul J. Johnson) in 2003. Just remember that Adam is ALWAYS with you in your heart AND in the hearts of those he helped to free. He is what America is all about. He is our hero. God bless your family!"
