Hip Hop if I'm not mistaken. I just knew we were going to get kicked out or even worst beat up by all the country western lovers out there. I have some fun memories of you two when you were at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. I loved Josh like a little brother, he had that way of winning your heart and making you laugh. I still have his pool cuestick and Sinners Crew Pool Team Tee-shirt. I think of him often, he's my hero and was one hellava brave Warrior! You should be very very proud of Josh Munger. I know for a fact I am...Stay strong and pray baby girl. I love you and your family very much!!!"

"Lil Bro, As i sit here looking over this page for the first time I cant help but tear up. What can I say? I miss you bro. Alysha Im so sorry that I might have pushed you away. Those were not my intentions. Josh as i read these blogs i see that alot of people saw the same thing that i saw in you. A dear friend. But you will always be my lil bro. Pappy and Mama are doing great. I still cant get it out of my head. I will never forget those long trips back from home to Benning driving 100+ mphs trying to get back on time. You could always talk yourself out of a ticket. But it never failed the trooper would be sitting down at the bottom of the hill and here we come. It was always the Blue light Special. I miss you more and more every day. I remember when you came to get me and we went back up to TN to where alysha was at the hospital. If im not mistaken we got pulled over on I-75 that day too. But you would always get a warning. That was the day I met your family. We explained how you had another family in GA that adopted you. My mom and dad thought the world of you. You were their fourth son. Alot of these people knew you differently than what i did. Like so many have said "You will always hold a special spot in my heart". Well i couldnt have said it better myself. I got that pic of me and you in AFG after we whooped up on them boys in horseshoes. I have it sitting up on my mantle and i look at it everyday. When i have guest come over I always point out my lil brother to them. Alysha i pray everyday that you and Colton are safe. To the rest of his family...please know that I think of you guys everyday when i see his picture. I know he left behind a great family. I heard him always speak highly of ya'll. Josh I miss you and love you man. Alysha please call me at 706-870-5564."

"SPC Munger was my soldier at FT Bragg NC while he was assigned to 3-504th PIR. When I heard of his death, I cried becuase I felt responsible and for the first time, I was not in control of what he did. I remember the look in his eyes when Colton was born, a look that will never leave me. He will always remain in a special place in my heart as we keep on fighting. My thoughts to his family and I know he is in a better place. May God bless your soul..."

"We love and miss you and will never forget you ! Colton is getting to be such a little man. He is so funny and full of your energy. One can not look at that baby without knowing he is yours :) his big eyes and long eye lashes. HE is full of questions now and he talks to your picture a-lot. He wanted to light your memorial candle on your birthday. He even made me change the picture on it... he said he don't like that one lol he wanted the one with his DADA and his HUMVEE... so we did.. he even remembered to blow it out at bed time. I got the funniest video from one of your buddies from the 82nd Airborne who served with you. Dang Sgt. Chris S. was FUNNY ! I have watched that video over and over... It was nice that I was able to set the photo's that your friend sent and the video aside for Colton when he is older.. I wish more of your buddies from 82nd and 101st would send some so he could have more. We love to look at your smile. But we are just blessed to have what we have.
LOVE YA MomTanya Alysha and Colton"

"Josh and I met in Fayetteville, North Carolina at The Firehouse Pub. He and Alysha were new in town. It was in May and Memorial Day was coming up in a few days. The owner introduced us and the conversation finally got to NASCAR. Alysha told me they had never been to a NASCAR race track. Me being me invited them to join me and some other Soldier friends of mine. We go to the Coka Cola 600 race every year during Memorial Day weekend. I have some great pictures of Josh and Alysha. Alysha was very very pregnant. They excepted my invitaion and met us at the camp ground at Lowes Motor Speedway in Charlotte, NC...I still go to that race but now it's Josh's race. We memorilize him every year at that race. I can proudly say I took him and Alysha to their first NASCAR race. We took great care of them. Got them tickets and also had a tent for them to stay in for the weekend. I will never forget that weekend as long as I live. Josh was a true fun loving American with a great since of humor. As time went on Josh joined our APA pool team. I now have his pool cue and his old Sinners Crew team tee-shirt. Thanks Alysha and Tanya I love you ladies very much."

I just have one question how am I suppose to feel about this comment.. I mentioned to some one very close to me that i just feel at times i cant go on I am just depressed and confused and hurt. But I know that i have to go on even when i dont want to. Because we need to be strong like you. The question i was ask is this ... so what are you going to do when you loose some one real close to you.... My reaction is I am numb, I am shocked and only you and I know what I seriously wanted to say! You were like a son to me we laughed we got angry and we even cried so just know that you are not going to be replaced in my heart, I love you and I will keep my promise! "Ma" nana"

"Well son this is another year coming to a end. Colton and I learned alot from our trip to CA. We learned how much Support there still is for you soldiers and for us the family. I never cried so hard as to when I saw all them people lined up on the side of the streets with signs and flags and babies and they had flags they were yelling and blowing kisses to us! There was not a dry eye on the bus's. We rolled down the windows and blew kisses back with tears flowing! Then the fly over... what else can be said about that and the jumper with our wonderful nations flag! Yes Colton and I had fun, but the best time for me was when I met other children and family members that are going through what we are at this time. Thanks to www.snowballexpress.org they were/are a wonderful support system. I am sitting here trying to rememeber what we did in NC for New years, no doubt I cooked and you all played games. I sure miss it! Please take care of OUR SGT. Friend! As he is leaving very soon for that Hell Hole Iraq. Watch over the 82nd. I love you and Miss you ..."

"Josh, when Chris and Amber came to visit you last week Chris left with you his Infantry Cord as you well know. Chris then decided that he wanted Colton to have it so it did not go into the trash or someones hands. I called the care takers and they sent it to Colton, at Chris and Ambers request, we got it TODAY. Your GOOD CONDUCT MEDAL Cert.came this week also, I read it to Colton, he walked around with it some and then we put it on your and Colton's shelf for him to hold any time he wants. We miss you so so much! Sgt. H. has been a wonderful gift of strenght to me, just when I think everthing is falling apart in my heart he has broke my fall and talked me thru it. We even had a good laugh the other day about comment's YOU made to me in NC when we were living there. Its hard to let loose, and well I am trying but I just can not do it.

"There's a hero in all of us, yet we all dont let ourselves shine. Josh has a heart full of pride that refused to be left behind.
He took on this world with all that he had, he became a great man and a fantastic dad.
He is a soul that has moved on, not one that's gone, a soul who is in heaven that is looking on.
He will watch his son grow and as day's go by, he will fill Colton's heart full of pride.
We are all proud for all that Josh has done, he lived a brave life, he gave this world his beautiful son.
We can all feel safe now, filled with hope and trust because we have our own Angel watching over us.
Rest In Peace Josh, we'll see you in Heaven."

"THIS STORY IS FOR ALL THE Soldiers out there and DADDY'S to.... IT HAS TAKEN ME FOREVER IT SEEMS TO FINISH THIS. We PRAY THAT PEACE WILL COME. And LAUGHTER OF CHILDREN WILL BE FREE !!LV YA SON ..tanya

When my DADDY was getting bigger he sometimes would say...
"I want to be a Police Man... or BULL RIDER...

He wantd to be IMPORTANT.. and GOD FOUND JUST THE JOB That I know he is Perfect at..

You see, there were people, that did very bad things to other MOMMIES AND DADDY'S and even KIDS. MY DADDY SAID...
He has to protect me and other little kids, so he put on funny looking cloths and went to work. My DADDY is IN THE ARMY !

ONE DAY, he came to mommy and me and said he has to go FAR AWAY,
And do his work! He said something about a FLAG and FREEDOM and well I don't understand but he said I would when I get all BIGGER!

My daddy said he needs to go make the bad people stay at there OWN houses and Be Nice. And well, he said I have to .."BE GOOD FOR MOMMY"

I ask my Daddy "IN MY OWN WAY", how long will you be gone? "OH HE SAID" I don't know. I have to do a good job. Daddy also said "THIS IS NOT GOOD-BYE SON" "DO YOU HEAR ME".. Never GOOD-BYE its see ya LATER!

My daddy left on a BIG PLANE, so I KNOW he is very IMPORTANT! Mommy and NaNa say my prayers with me, and we talk about DADDY, and how we love and miss him.
We look at Pictures and talk about how even when DADDY is gone to work, that he Thinks about me all the time, and that he says his prayers to.

Daddy don't get to call very much he is very busy keeping us safe, but no matter what..
"I AM IN HIS HEART" . NANA say's that when I get sad and my " HEART" hurts it is ok to cry if I want to.

Daddy told me that no matter what.. He will alway's love me and mom and watch over me. My Daddy talked about GOD and that he May have a VERY IMPORTANT JOB IN HEAVEN, and that sometimes there are not enough, ANGEL DADDY'S and MOMMY'S to take care of the baby's in Heaven.

I told my Daddy the best I could, I didn't want him to go there, and I would miss him and my HEART would hurt, but my daddy said " YOU WILL BE FINE SON I will ALWAYS be able to SEE YOU!
AND when you feel a TICKLE in your HEART that will be ME GIVING YOU A BIG HUG!

So you see.... MY DADDY DID have a very important job and well my heart hurts but God, Mommy, NaNa and PaPa all tell me it will be ok, because daddy is in our heart and we just need to say our prayers. NaNa says that when my heart gets SAD if I go get that picture on the fridge that my DADDY'S SMILE will make me all better.

You see THIS IS LATER DADDY.... NOT GOODBYE..........

"to the family of Joshua Munger. I just want to say that Joshua was a great guy and that he will be missed by many. I was the Platoon Sergeant for the PSD that your husband/son replaced. As SPC Silvers said, joshua hung out in are tent and was immediately liked by everybody. he was one of those guys that everybody likes immediately. I spoke with him several times during there train up for the area and I could see that Joshua was an obvious asset to his PSD. In closing, no matter what unit we were from him and the other members of his PSD will always be in our hearts, brothers for ever."

"To the Family of Joshua, I sorry I never got the chance to meet Josh. Know that I grieve with you and wish with all my heart that Josh and Tyler and my son Ben were still with us. I'm sorry I didn't write sooner but this has been the hardest thing I have ever had to come to terms with in my life. It is still very difficult to talk about but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of you every day and hoping you were all getting along as well as can be expected. As Ben would have said,"This is a really Craptastic situation." I know our guys would want us to get on with living and I'll do my best I hope that you folks will be able to do the same. I will always remember Joshua, Tyler and Benjamin and the dedication and honor with which they served.

Peace be with you,"
Lenore Smith of Hudson, Wisconsin

"Josh, today your son got the warmest gift.. It was from a Marine wife who stated the quilts. OH THE WONDERFUL memories for us to read to Colton, such nice things were said about you and how much support you boys have. We read it to Colton and at times he would just lay his little head down and pat it. Then today he came to us wanting your big picture to kiss and your HAT. I have not and will not break MY PROMISE TO YOU! He prays 3 TIMES A DAY we talk to you and pray for your friends. I think back to the runt kid I first met when he came to me for a job you didnt even have your license but when you did get them oh boy!from 15-22 there were several changes but we loved ya no matter what and still do. ALYSHA, COLTON , AND I MISS YOU LV You ma"

"to Josh, its been 6 months buddy, and still I have no answers to what and why it happened. I just had another surgery and the only thing I can think of is you 3 guys. I would trade places with all of you in a heart beat. Just know that while I know that you are all gone, your memories will never be forgotten. RIP...

To Alysha and Colten, I am sorry that I have not called latley and I hope that you are both doing well. I hope that if you need anything you will not hesitate to call.

Everyone back here keeps calling me a hero and I wish they would stop....the real heros are Josh, Tyler, and Ben. They gave something that I didnt and I will never forget that."
SGT Cory C. Collins of Ft. Campbell, Ky

"I met Josh when he came over from Ft. Bragg, he was a good guy who liked to laugh. He was a proud father that talked proudly about his wife and son. I only knew him for the short amount of time that I was still in the service but he made a lasting impression. To his wife and son, I just want to say that my heart goes out to you two. I wish that there was something I could do to ease the pain."

"The Next Room
Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped
away into the next room. I am I, and you are you.
What ever we were to each other, that
we still are. Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you
always used. Put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
we enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me,
pray for me. Let my name be the household word
that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means
all that it ever meant, It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity, Why should I be
out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere
very near, just round the corner. All is well.
~by: Canon Henry Scott Holland~

Gone – but not forgotten.
Thank you for sharing your loved one with us,
and for the sacrifice made by you and your family on our behalf.

I hope you will find peace with this grievous loss, someday."
Brenda Quandt of Lincoln Park, MI

"I was Josh's team leader when we were with the 82nd, when we went to Iraq and Afghanistan. I have nothing but good memories of him, except when he bought that dang motorcycle, then it was stolen. Josh was always upbeat and never went without a smile on his face. Its hard to write what I am really feeling because I was his team leader, and saw him grow as a soldier. Please accept my deepest condolence's for your loss. I to feel like I lost a little brother."

"Josh, Oh my goodness, what can I say?,I'm grief stricken. Josh was a very kind hearted young man. He was in Basic Training with my husband at Ft Benning, Ga.. they managed to stay in touch eversince. Josh has been to our place quite a few times for weekends away from Ft Bragg, NC. He said he had never been to the beach, so we took him. My husband and he had their fun guy time at night with spotlights in the fields 4 wheeling at night. Josh loved our horses, and dogs, and one kitty in particular he wanted to sleep with at night, when he visited. He later introduced us to Alysha. You could honestly see the love between them, it could melt you. We all went to eat, and made a trip to a fishing pier on Wrightsville Beach, and even stopped at a modular dealership and we all looked at new houses we'd like to have. I just talked to Josh on Oct16th, and he spoke of how he wanted to be home, and missed everyone, but heldfast in saying how much he prayed everyone would get through this. Josh I love you! Alysha, Colton, I love you too! Thank God for you both. If theres anything, I mean anything...please let me know."

"Today is just like yesterday
I ask, "why did you have to pay?"

Today is just like yesterday
The tears just keep coming. "I miss you Josh," is all that I ever say.

Today is just like yesterday
Missing you til it hurts. Proud of you all through the day.

Today is just like yesterday
Life changed forever...hard for me to find my way.

Today is just like yesterday
"Love you forever," to you I want to say

For our HERO, we will always pray
For today is just like yesterday...

"To a beloved friend,
Alysha, your husband died with great honors. Everyone around the world will know him for what he died doing. But unlike everyone I know what he left behind, a wonderful wife and a beautiful son. Dealing with this will be the hardest thing you will ever have to deal with. I pray as a mother and wife myself and as one of your best friends that you remember EVERYONE who loves you through this time, and in the future. Most of all may you remember the lord and seek to him when you feel helpless, baby he will help you. Honey, Josh will be alot of peoples hero and one day Colton will know that his dad died a WONDERFUL man, you are very lucky to be the wife of a fallen hero and you are lucky to be loved by so many, please honey DO NOT FORGET I LOVE YOU! I will always love you sis, I pray that you and Colton know with out a doubt that I am hear with open arms, ears and heart (or whatever you may need) anytime you may need it! I love you all the world Sis!!!!!!

To the parents of Josh, your son was a wonderful man, I respect and admire what your son died doing, many people will never know or care to know what his death really meant, but as Alysha's friend and a wife, mother and an American citizen myself, I DO KNOW! Josh will always hold a special place in my heart. May God Bless all of you in this very hard time. He will always be with you!"

"My heart aches for the lost of my good friend Josh. He will always be in our hearts and memories. Alysha and Colton I know you will be OK, because you have such a stong support system in your family. If you would only let them be there for you. Always remember how much fun we had at your first NASCAR race. Those memories will always be with me. I can't forget how big your stomach got when you were carrying Colton. Dam you were large. I will always remember when your mom came down to be with you before the baby was born. We have so much to be thankful for. Josh was a guy that loved to have fun and listen to his music. Remember when we had to turn the music down at the race cause Josh wanted to blast his new speakers and system? How about when P-Dawg Broke the picnic table down dancing on top of it? Those are the times that we have to keep in our hearts and always remember Josh for the good guy he was. He was a great Warrior and will be missed a hellava lot! I love you Alysha and you too Tanya!"

"For Alysha and Joshua's Family -

My name is Jessica, I am Tyler MacKenzie's cousin. As you know, Tyler was in the same vehicle as your husband the day that all of our lives changed. I have thought of you often, and say a prayer each night for your family, that you are finding strength and comfort through these very hard times. I also pray for the family of Benjamin Smith and for the quick recovery of the young man who survived. May God bless those families as well as ours. nikita04@hotmail.com

"Alysha is Josh's wife,my best friend, and now a widow. Josh was a United States soldier that was taken from this world at an age of 22 years old. Way 2 young!!!

Josh was a man that you could talk to about almost anything. He was not a hard person to please at all. Josh was happy with a good meal, a cold bud light, his wife and son.

Josh made it his life mission to be good at what ever he was doing.Whether he was at home playing a board game or on the front line. Josh was a someone who you could learn alot from.

Josh was someone who you were happy just being around. i cant remember a time of where he didnt make me smile or laugh. Ill always cherish the last conversation i had with josh. It was about a week before he passed away. He called me to see how i was doing, because i had just lost my childrens father in Iraq in the beginning of October. Josh picked me up when i was at one of the lowest parts of my life. Josh put aside all of the stress of being in a war enviorment to comfort me. It brings tear to my eyes, just thinking of his peaceful words.it was one of the most serious conversations i ever had with him.

Josh you are missed by many. I know one day ill see you again, and until i do ill keep on praying.

For Alysha and Colton. no words can express your loss or pain. I love you and ill be here with you until the end. as you lay down to go to sleep tonight i hope god takes you in his hands and eases some of your pain."

"Munger was one of my replacements. I am on the PSD of the 1st BN, 108th Armor, Georgia Army National Guard that Joshua's unit replaced. I worked with him for three weeks or so, and he always hung out in our tent before we left. Joshua always had a playful tone and a smile on his face. We made the trip back up to Mahmudiyah last week for the memorial of our friend and brothers. They are already missed by many. I knew them only briefly and the blow was a big one to me and my fellow Georgians. Thank you for your son, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Live Free."
