"To the family of Bernard, my heart goes out to you all. My name is Jacolby Carter and I served with Bernard in Iraq. I ask of the family members to hold there heads high because, not only was Bernard a great friend to me, but a outstanding "Soldier". Bernard was instilled with all the Army Values, on top of being a great person. I will never forget that night before he passed that he stopped by my trailer and borrow two movies from me while he got his haircut, not knowing that would be the last time I would see him. But I know you are in a better place and your sacrifice was not for nothing. I love you man.

Carter"
Spc. Jacolby O. Carter of Shreveport, LA

"Dear Bernard, we deployed together, we fought as a team, and we shared many comforting times. Even in your final moments I was there. I only pray that your spirit watches over those who are still abroad. May your new home be in the beautiful walls of heaven. God bless your family. They were privileged to have had such a man, father, and soldier. Peaceful rest brother.

I can't wait till the day we'll be with our heroes again in heaven. I honor them everyday and hope that one day we'll find peace with our loss. I'm praying for each and every one of you."

"To the Sembly & Britton family we all know Bernard will truly be missed. His charisma and charm will never be forgotten. He was a best friend to me among other things. I am no longer sad because I know he's in God's arms. Bernard's up there playing dominos with someone just smiling and laughing. He taught me much about life as well as myself. Those are lessons that will carry me for the rest of my life on this earth. Mama, keep smiling, I know it hurts, but Bernard is ok. We all love him dearly and his spirit shall live on for eternity."
Ebony Richardson-erichardson01@yahoo.com of Bossier City, LA
