"To the family of Brian, its taken me years to live with the events that day and the loss of your son. I still feel as responsible today for his passing as the day it happened. Brian was a good man, crewman,friend and Marine. His passing changed my life. It was not until I got out of the Marines almost 11 years later had I realized what Brians death taught me. Everyday is precious, every moment could be your last and to live and love everyday as if it was your last. Brian did that. He's with the big man upstairs he's looking down at all of us every day, and making sure we carry on his legacy. I will see you again another day my friend.

"I never had the opportunity to meet Brian, but I was given the cd today by a stranger. I feel he felt I would be touched by the cd because my husband is currently serving on his 4th tour in Afghanistan. My husband and I are both graduates from Spencerport and are truly moved by the sacrifices our service members make. Thank-you for producing this cd I feel it will touch many people in there time of need and open the eyes of others of our soilder's sacrifices some more than others. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I will pass this on in your sons honor!"

"To: The Family of Brian Schramm

I cannot even imagine what you must be feeling at this moment, nor do I have the words to ease the pain. I will pray that God lifts you up, holds you in his arms, comforts you, and gives you the strength to make it through the coming days. Even though I didn’t know Brian, he was a Marine, a “special” family member. Brian made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom; we owe it all to him. May you find comfort in knowing; your son is a Hero, and will never be forgotten!

Remember that your loss is shared
By many friends who cared
You’re in our thoughts,
You’re in our hearts,
And in our every prayer
