Fallen Heroes of Operation Iraqi Freedom

"I miss you big bro. I was too young to really understand the gravity of the situation, but I love, miss, and think about you every day. I really wish I could've gotten to know you better. Mom, Dad, Jeff, Tiegen, Zoe, everyone else, and I are constantly thinking of you. You're an idol to me."
Ian Seale of Brunswick, MD

"SSG Seale was a person who would talk to me in the chow hall like a regular person. I wasn't a go along with the group kinda guy if I thought it was a bad idea. This guy was a regular guy had a small daughter, going through a break up, working IEDs, and you would never know it by talking to him. All gave some (me) SSG Seale gave all."
William Kalal of Siera Vista AZ

"Seale, you were without a doubt one of my best friends during my time in the army. The first man I introduced my soon to be wife to. A brother I could talk about anything to. I think about the good and bad times we had almost daily. The clowning we did, the times we had to be dead serious. You were one of the best soldiers I had the honor to serve with. I'll never forget the day you found out your daughter was born and we all cheered like we'd just won the World Series in that crappy Iraqi city. I truly loved you like the brother I never had."
Ryan Mount of Crooksville, Ohio

"To the family of Stephen A. Seale. I have worn a memorial bracelet in honor of your fallen loved one every single day for almost 3 years now. I did not know him yet I feel that he is a part of my life now, especialy when I look down at my wrist and see his name shining back at me.
People ask me why I wear this bracelet everyday if I didnt even know him. The answer is simple, he gave his life for me , my family and my country, I am honored to bear a memory of a hero. He sacrificed so much to protect so many.
God bless you and his shining spirit!"
Amanda of Sparks, NV USA!

Zoe Hauser of Maryland

"SSG Seale, you were a great friend and fellow soldier. I served with SSG Seale in OIF #1 and became friends with him soon after. I was the Medical NCOIC of 326 prior to his second deployment to Iraq. I was saddened the day I learned of his death. I pray for you, your family and especially your daughter. I know one day through your parents she will realize what a wonderful and caring person you were. I heard from a fellow soldier you had spoken of me a week or so before your death. I wish that I stayed in contact after my leaving the Army. God bless you and I am sorry I wasn't there for you."
