"Semper Fidelis Tyler. I said hello to you today at Arlington National Cemetery. We also left a yellow rose. I was fortunate to work with you in Baghdad 2004 when you were a member of the Green Zone’s Force Protection team. Today was cloudy, breezy and hundreds of other people paying respect to fallen family members or friends. The cannons were roaring in the background as representative of a 21-gun salute. We love ya Brother."
Troy and Carmen Larson of Arlington, VA

"I cannot believe Tyler has been gone for 10+ years now, but I think of him often and the sacrifice he made. Tyler and I were housemates at Butler, both Phi Psis and Biology majors in the Class of 1993. I've made a few Arlington visits to honor and speak to Tyler. He was one of the best."
Troy Weldy of Albany, NY

"Sarah.... Please call me. I was Tylers radio man. 2/6 echo co. 2 nd plt. 207-509-0160 You made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

"Although I never had the opportunity to know Tyler, I became aware of him because of his illustrious reputation. We will always remember our brothers and it is our mission to continue the legacy of honor, courage, and commitment that we have inherited from those brave men whom the Lord has called home. I take comfort in the belief that Captain Swisher is the OOD for a detachment of Marines performing security for that most hallowed post. Semper Fidelis!"
Sergeant Vinson, USMC of Cincinnati, OH

"Remembering you Tyler and again thanking you from the bottom of my heart for your service, dedication, and your ultimate sacrifice.

"I never new that Captain Swisher climbed a rope and did construction before joining the Marines; but he listen to my stories of doing so. We also had a few great times on humps (road marches) and hand to hand combat in Thailand. I still tell stories of how we would push each other in every thing we did.

"Dearest Sarah and Swisher Family,

I remember singing your Beloved's funeral at Crossroad's Community Church as though it were only yesterday. Listening to each person who spoke about Tyler, filled my heart with joy and appreciation for the man he was and all that he had given for our country. My Uncle is a retired career Green Beret, so my heart is already knitted to the men and women who serve so fearlessly for us. Yet,seeing the slide presentation and hearing the life story of Tyler, filled me with such pride to be asked to sing his funeral by Sarah........I was honored to be a part of something so much bigger and more important than myself. I think of Tyler and his family often and on this day I decided to find something of him,
when I came across this site. Thanks to Tyler's mom for raising a boy who became such a wonderful man to his wife and children, and particularly his country. I pray, still, that your hearts be healed and you have peace knowing that Tyler is in the everlasting arms of our Savior,Immanuel.
GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU.

"Capt. Swisher,
Sir, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country. And to your family, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy. I read about your bravery in Leatherneck Magazine and how your wife and children were presented with your Bronze Star and Purple Heart and after reading the reflections left here, I know you were one hell of a Marine and officer. It is because of men life you that the Marine Corps is the best fighting force in the world.

Semper Fi Devil Dog!"

MSgt Gray,DD (ret) of Alvin, Texas

"Stephanie,

It has been many months since I have left Okinawa and returned home, yet so many of you whom I grew to love and cherish for your kindness and candor have remained in my thoughts.

I have come just now to learn of Tyler's death, and I am moved with compassion for you and your family. You are a strong and loving woman, who deserved and enjoyed a charming, witty, and fun-loving husband. His humor and the boyish spirit he projected anytime I saw him or you spoke of him will never leave my memory.

I pray for you and your children, that you may always find strength and comfort when you need it most. I wish that the joy of life with him can give solace to you at times when it may seem impossible to find peace otherwise.

The news of his passing is jarring to me, and reminds me to make any effort possible in my life to see that his sacrifice was not in vain.

I am proud to have known him; and to know you as a determined and fortuitous woman.

With deepest respect and sympathy..."
Natalie De Vito of New York, NY

"November 15, 2005 - I had never heard of Tyler B. Swisher prior to this day. I was at a friends store near the funeral home and heard about the loss of his life. I served in Vietnam and understand the danger of serving in a war. I watched for well over an hour as cars arrived and wondered about Tyler and his life. After reading about his life tonight i feel deeply honored that i was able to be there sending alot of love to everyone i saw. It was obvious from what i read that Tyler was truly a good man. I send you, his family and friends, my deepest regards. May the pain you feel heal steadily and surely. I grieve his loss. May peace be with all of you."
Charles M. of Cincinnati, Ohio

"When my girlfriend Ashleigh called and told me of her dads death, I didnt know what to say. He was a great guy, and a good friend."
Ryan of Stafford, Virginia

"I was fortunate enough to have served with Tyler and feel honored to call him my friend. Tyler and I were roommates for over two years, serving at both Marine Barracks Washington DC and the Presidential Retreat at Camp David. From being a 'spit and polished' Presidential Security Guard to a hard charging Marine grunt, Tyler epitomized the word 'Marine'. I'll never forgot our time together, and I feel fortunate to have been apart of your life.
May you rest in peace, and my continued prayers are with your family during this difficult time. In your honor, I've just placed an order for a traditional military 'KIA' bracelet with your name on it. I'll wear it in honor of your sacrifice, and until all of our brave men and women return from Iraq.

Semper Fi buddy, and with love and admiration for a dear friend,"
Doug Miorandi (dmiorandi@adt.com) of Phoenix, AZ USA

"My husband, CPT Rizer, is a soldier embedded with the Marines in Fallujah. He became friends with Tyler and recalled a game of cards with him the night before his death. My husband said he was looking forward to remaining friends when they returned home.

I'm sorry I never got to meet this man who made such a fast impression on my husband. Hearing of Tyler’s death was one of his most difficult days in Iraq. I just wanted you to know we have Tyler’s name written in our hearts and your family in our prayers. I pray that God will grant grace, strength and comfort through all of this. I’m so very sorry for your loss."

"S,A,M,and J,
Your husband/daddy was one of the finest Marines I've served with. I was his company commander when he was a Cpl.

My family and I share your loss and stand in awe of Tyler's sacrifice. God bless, Semper fi."

"I was shocked and deeply saddened when I got the word about Tyler. We served together in Baghdad. I am a retired MGySgt, now a state department employee. We worked together often on security manners concerning the AL Rasheed hotel and the convention center. He was always so upbeat and positive and smiling and it was just a great time whenever Troy Larson and I would go over and visit or Tyler would come to the Palace for a meeting. I can't stand the thought of a world without that great man in it. I present my most hearfelt condolences to his family who he spoke of every time I ever saw him. I am so sorry for yours and America's loss. Semper Fi"

"I had the honor of serving with U.S. Marine Captain Tyler Swisher, April to September 2004, Baghdad, Iraq. He is one of the finest Officers, and one of the best men I have ever known in my twenty-plus years of enlisted and commissioned service. Though I cannot claim the title "Marine", he is and always will be my definition of a Marine. Swish was dedicated to our nation, the mission, and most of all his family. Not a day passed when he did not talk of his wife and children, leaving no doubt as to his love and commitment to them. I am proud to have known and served with Tyler, I am better for it. My thoughts and prayers are eternally with his family and friends. Our nation has lost a fine warrior... I deeply mourn our loss."
Ric Venditti, Capt, USAF of Eagle River, AK

"My wife and I went to Butler with Tyler. It seems like just yesterday we were living the carefree life. Even during those reckless college days, Tyler knew what career path he would take. In our attempts to grow up, I think Tyler truly grew up first. He was a great brother and an even greater friend. You are a true hero and will always be remembered."
Brad Lowell of Indianapolis, IN/USA

"To the Swisher family, please accept our thanks for all that Tyler has done and all that he stands for. I had the honor of serving with Tyler as a Lieutenant in the Basic School and Infantry Officer Course in Quantico. Furthermore our families lived side by side on base at Camp Lejeune during our initial tours in the FMF. We will miss Tyler. Know that your family will be in our thoughts and prayers from now on. Everyday we also remember and pray for those who continue to serve in harms way. May God bless and comfort you.

"To the Family and Friends of Captain Tyler B. Swisher:
Please accept my most sincere and heart-felt sympathies for your loss. I had the honor and privilege of serving with Tyler as a fellow lieutenant at The Basic School. We were in the same fire-team together, and Tyler and I became close friends. I have been in the Marine Corps for over 16 years, and it is without hesitation that I say that Tyler was one of the finest young officers I have ever known. Moreover, he was a caring husband; a loving father; and a trusted friend. My heart goes out to Tyler's lovely wife, his daughters, family and all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Tyler will be deeply missed, but his kindness, selflessness, devotion and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, my friend. Semper Fidelis."

I'll always remeber Tyler as having a permanent smile on his face. When I think back to the times in highschool, without fail...I see Tyler with that wonderful grin. He was a kind and gentle spirit, who I will never forget.

"I first met Tyler while we were both second lieutenants in Bravo Company, 4th PLT at The Basic School. Tyler and I were selected to become infantry officers and attended the Infantry Officer Course together. I was always impressed by Tyler's dedication to his family and his service. Tyler and I continued to serve together at Camp Lejeune. I will always count Tyler among my friends, I can recall our conversations at the PX in Lejuene, the Dental Center, the Officers Club, the Area 2 gym, and anywhere else we happened upon each other. I left the Corps in 2003, but have lived everyday safe and secure because I know men like Tyler Swisher were willing to vanguard my freedom. God bless you Tyler, you will not be forgotten by your classmates from BOC 2-98."
John McGarry of St.Louis, MO

""My brother was Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Christopher W. Thompson. We understand that Chris and Capt. Swisher served together. My family mourns your loss as well as ours. Chris was very proud to serve the Marines and his main goal was always their safety. He respectly referred to the Marines that he served with as "his Marines". Capt. Swisher was one of his Marines and most certainly, if not by blood, family. We will cherish our memories of Chris as the fun loving kid who went to war. We will always remember Capt. Swisher in the same prayers that we pray for Chris. May God be with you in this time of loss.""
