I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have.

"I had the honor of serving in the same platoon with Harvey for three deployments and in the same Battalion for all 4 1/2 years I was in the Corps... He was a good man and an outstanding leader of Marines. The kind of Marine who would take you under his wing and fiercley protect you with all his being. I'm lucky to be able to look back on so many great memories of Harvey. I'll never forget the day they walked into our hooch and told us not only that he was dead, but how he had died... A truely selfless Hero... I know you are in heaven right now. Most likely you're the Sgt of the Guard getting ready for post and relief at those big pearly gates... Semper Fidelis my Brother."

"As a relative of Harvey from marriage to a cousin, I wish to thank each and every one of you for your messages. I did not know Harvey very well, as he was only in our family for a short amount of time. However, I wish to thank all of Harvy's old friends and others who did not personally know him for their messages.

Harvey leaves behind Matthew and a son he hardly got to know, Harvey Junior aswell as his wife, a close relative of mine Amanda Parkerson."

Before he knew what happened, you had him wrapped up in your legs in an armbar looking like a pretzel. I told him to give you another one and he said, "I don't think that's a good idea, he doesn't look like he wants one!" It always makes me laugh. You were always easy to talk to, I miss ya. It was an honor serving with you Harv, till we meet again brother."

"I'm so very sorry to hear of Harvey's death. Through the years, after high school, we were able to visit each other a few times. I always looked forward to those visits and will hold those memories close to my heart.. He was/is a gentleman in every sense of the word. There aren't many people in this world who have his depth of knowledge,love and such warm and sincere regards for others.
Everyone who knew Harvey will truly miss him.
Harvey~ Never forget us and we shall never forget you..."

"Harvs,

One of my first memories is when we were freshmen. It was wrestling season and the juniors + seniors had a habit of roughing us up before the start of practice. We called these events “Rumbles”. I’m sure there’s not an Orland wrestler who can hear that word with out a little smile.
You probably weighed in at 90 lbs, soaking wet, and at 105lbs myself, that made us the smallest wrestlers on the team. So it was no surprise that you could usually find me at the bottom of the pile of senior heavy weights. What was surprising to the seniors was the determination you possessed in getting them off me.
I can still remember lying on my back, chest working against the weight of Ryan Burgess or Scotty Skidmore. My squinted head against the salty sting of sweat. Then I would hear the war cry. I’d open my eyes long enough to see a familiar small shaped projectile hurling itself into a meaty mass of muscle.
The projectile being you, the mass being some unforgiving monster like Bill Wathen or Vic Perry. Of course, at 90lbs, you could hardly do anything except piss them off even more. The ramifications were always made personal, because how dare you think you could unthrow someone nearly 3 times your size. How dare you think you could stop the beating of your fellow freshmen.
But in a way you did. While they were beating on you, they were beating on me less. And so it went. Nearly everyday before practice, I ended up crushed with sweaty armpits and bad breathe in my face. And every time, I could rely on you, however futile, to come to my rescue. In fact I counted on it. I may have been overly confident during those rumbles-but it was only because you had taught my loyalty. Thank you for that.
It was our senior year and the cheerleaders were using the multi-purpose room. You, me and our old friend Rocky rolled out a single matt, about 1/3 the way down. We started doing takedowns; winner stay in. I managed to stay in for a while, when suddenly you hit the beautiful duck-under and my hands hit the matt in an effort to avoid running face first. Now for the record, my hands were only on the matt for a split second. Only at a large important tournament would that take-down have been protested. But there in the multi-purpose room, it was with out a doubt a take-down. It was also at that exact moment that in walks a cheerleader by the name of Christy Hopkins. I’m sure you remember, bro, she made for good conversation back then. Well, there we were. She was standing there with her eyes in wide. I was still trying to figure out how you set up that crazy duck. You had your arms in the air and a smile plastered across your face. It’s a curious emotion to have when you’re both proud and pissed at the same time. Christy began walking to the other side where the cheerleaders were practicing, when she say’s with a smile “wow, good job, Harvey”. Then turned away. I turn back to, hands on my hips, shacking my heard in the negative.. Your, hands in the air, nodding your head in the positive, and I walked to the end of the matt waiting for my turn to come around again.
It was Rocky’s turn to go in and after a few minutes he managed a take down. (For those out there listening, Rocky had least 20lbs. on us, and for light weights, that’s a lot). So in I went. I took Rocky down and looked up at you the same way a wolf looks at his next meal.
And you….. Well, you still had that smile on your face. I managed my own duck-under this time, but instead of you hitting the matt with both hands, you only hit it with one. You posted hard and avoided the takedown, springing right back up. I was still behind you so I just hipped in and drove a little harder. You posted again. So, I figured I needed a little more height. The next time. I hipped in harder and lifted you up, swept you legs and ran you hard into the matt. That’s when it happened. You posted yet a third time, but this time there followed a low rolling pop. You said, “Oh”! I saw it before you did. Your arm had hipper-extended and was folded back over at the elbow joint at a 90 degree angle. It makes my neck hairs stand up just thinking about it. Anyway, I got my T-Shirt off and threw it over your arm before you had the opportunity to see it. I didn’t know what else to do. The cheerleading instructor came over and agreed to get the principle and call the paramedics. While she was gone and we sat there waiting, you asked me how bad it was, because you couldn’t feel your fingertips. Again for the record, I thought your bone was stretching the skin a little too much to give you and honest answer. So I said you’ll be fine. I told you it was just a dislocation, and you’ll be better real quick. * bro, I didn’t know what the hell I was talking about…but you said ‘ok’ you said you trusted me. (You probably remember saying some other things, but you were drunk on adrenalin, so those things will stall between us, bro). Even when you’re adorable mom came to the school and asked me to lift up the shirt a little.. After the poor women when into hysterics at the sight of her baby’s arm.. You still never looked. You got to the hospital where it turned out to actually be a dislocation, and you did get better in about 2 weeks. Of course everyone was relieved that you were alright. But I was just as much relieved I didn’t let you down. Back then you may have thought you were looking up to me,,, but infact, I was looking up to you.
I was our senior year, towards the end of it, and you were spending a lot of time on FAH trips. I loved giving you a hard time. I’d ask you if you traveled all the way to Redding to pull on cow boobs. You’d smile and laugh at the thought and say Naw, just FAA stuff. I knew you weren’t telling me everything. I kept on bothering you until on day you told me you did this sort of competition and that you had qualified for state. I was about to make a joke when you said “No, not boob pulling competition”. We laughed at that and you finally told me what it was you were doing. I was blown away. I think you thought maybe I was gunna talk more *, so I pointed at some weed growing out of the ground and asked you, ‘what’s that one?’ you said its name, followed by its scientific name. I immediately pointed to another one and another. I probably pointed at 2 dozen plants and weeds and you only momentarily paused at 2 or 3. I remember I wanted to show you off. I let you know how impressed I was , but you were so modest you acted like it was no big deal. After that, your Homer Simpson impressions just didn’t hold as much weight. I knew you could do anything you wanted to.
Harvs, I’ve tried to be strong like I know you’d expect of me. But life was so infinitely better with you here. We just didn’t lose a loving father, brother and son… we lost a great friend. I miss you, bro, and I hope to see you again.

"I have a Hero Bracelet with Sgt Harvey Parkerson's name on it. I received his name at random - I asked for a bracelet for "any soldier." I'm an Army brat (my dad - 37 years in service - buried at Arlington) and feel honored to wear Sgt. Parkerson's name on my arm. I pray for his family and thank him for his brave service. I would love to know more about him. It appears he has a son named Matthew? I have a son named Matthew too."

"Memorial Poem

We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds.
The days we do not think of you are very hard to find.
Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still.

There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear.
But always a precious memory of the days when you were here.
If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Author Unknown....
But straight from Aunt Dolores's Heart"

"To the Family and Friends of Sgt Harvey Parkerson III. Harvey was a great friend during the last three years I had the priveledge to know him. I started out as his Section leader in 2001. I could see when I first met him that he was dedicated to not only the Marine Corps but his friends and family also. It was a priveledge to be able to continue our friendship even after I left his platoon and moved on to other jobs within the battalion. Harvey was always there when I needed him and always made sure that he took care of the junior Marines that were under him. The Marine Corps lost a great Marine however I felt as if I lost a great friend with his passing. He will always be remembered!!!"

Brave and honorable, his loss was felt throughout the Battalion. He died in the cemetary in An Najaf, the largest cemetary in the Muslum world, a truely horific place to fight, his courage and leadership made a shinning example to those around him.
