Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"I was riding my bicycle slowly past the Memorial Mile in Gainesville Florida set up for Memorial Day 2015. Thousands of small tombstones staked into the ground have names all the soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw one that had fallen over. I stopped to right it. It read William T Robbins of North Little Rock. I'm from Arkansas and my twin brother is currently stationed in North Little Rock. His time in Iraq was in 2005. It could have been him just as easily."
Casey William Willits of Gainesville, Florida

"Daddy you will always be my hero nothing will change that I love you forever and always. Thank you to all who have honored my father. You are true americans . -Tristan (Terrys daughter)"

"Terry will always be remembered as my dear friend. He always knew how to make you laugh and had such a loving & kind heart. He loved serving this country and will never be forgotten!"

"Sorry for your loss family. It's unfortunate alcohol led to this soldier's death. A death over alcohol obviously is never worth it. What a shame and waste. This solider may have been defending our country, but he was also defending his right to drink. A hero is a hero, and I will try to keep telling myself that…"

"I never want to forget the sacrifices of so many young men and women. I am so proud it makes me cry. I understand in theory only that war is a part of human nature but so is love and caring. I wish I could take the families 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. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. All my love and respect. ogersteiner@yahoo.com

"I knew SSG William Robbins. We had become pretty good friends. He was the type of person who enjoyed nearly any job assigned to him and he was very excited about returning home and assuming a new job at Robinson Regional Training Institute. When I learned of his death I stood in stunned disbelief that my friend was really gone. Terry, I'm glad I had the opportunity to know you for the two years or so that I did. I will and do miss you."
Jim Duffel of Morrilton, AR, USA

"Thank you William for your service to our country and for making this world a better place. My nephew, Sgt Del Greco, became a part of the 39th, but he died on his way to Taji last year. After having watched Off To War last week, I feel an even deeper bond with the 39th. William, you will always be remembered in my heart and I will raise your family up in prayer. God bless you, your family and friends."
