ReplyDeleteDear the white family,
ReplyDeleteHey mine name is summer and I wanted to tell you I’m so sorry for your lost.And I was in the same pain when I lost mine real dad when ever he was in the war.so I understand of where your coming from.So I hope you feel better,And just think of the positives and everything will be ok.But I do understand,of what your going thourgh.by sg
Dear Brittany,
ReplyDeleteI’m sincerely sorry for what has happened to you. The only thing you can do is let it go. I know how hard it can be to let someone that you love go. Eventually though when you have grieved enough you have to move on with your life. It’ hard believe me but Bryian would have wanted you to be happy and not hold on to something that you have no control over. He did what he thought was right and you have to accept that. If he wanted to give his life so that you and his family and others could be free that’s his decision. You’ve got to come to peace that he isn’t coming back no matter how hard you grieve. In the end it was his decision and you can’t go back in time to tell him not to. You can want to see him again so bad that there is blinding pain but that won’t bring him back. Don’t get me wrong you can miss him but don’t live your life on that one thing. Life is beautiful don’t let this one speed bump get in the way of you having a future. I’m sure he would have wanted you to move on and live your life. He loves you always remember that.
I’m truly sorry!!!

Dear , Mr. Jones im sorry for your terriable loss I really appreciate what he had done for us we are very thankful of it.He was a big hero and im sorry for reminding you of it but I just wanted to say what a good guy I thought he was and thank you. I’m very sorry for what you had to go through and what you had loss we all lost something and we all lost a hero and a very best friend and a great guy. I also think if he was still here right now I think he should fill like a BIG Hero!! because a lot of people think that about him and they will never forget. Also I wanted to thank you for having a brave and great guy that put his life out on the line just like that just cause he was trying to protect us.

Dear, Apple family
ReplyDeleteI’m truly sorry for your loss of Andrew. I just want to say Thank you for your son being at their service and service to our country, because of him, and men like him, WE, The People of The United States of America today live in FREEDOM!! Andrew was a great man and did all kinds of good things. He was a lot of people’s best friends and we loved him dearly. In school he was an awesome man and did everything he had to do to get by and do right. He is truly missed by all of us and we wish we could bring him back but he died of a good cause he just wanted to help us all out and keep us safe. And in my opinion he did an amazing job at it. All the solders are in our prayers and we pray that they are safe just sometimes it don’t end up the way we wish it would. I know it’s hard to lose someone so close to you because it’s happened to me before and it is the roughest time ever you just got to think and know they are in a better place and love you a lot. I wish I could bring Andrew back for you I really do But you have to move on sometime and know he did this for you and would want you to keep living your life and keep doing good. Andrew was a good friend and I remember when me and Him would hang out and laugh and have fun together that was the best time I have ever had was when I was with him he is truly missed and we all love and miss him.
Yours truly,
Kayla L.
Dear The Mom & Dad Of RAYMOND
ReplyDeleteI am sorry of your son. He was a excellent preson & a excellent friend to be around. He help alot THE STATE. He has helped a lot witH STUFF. I just hope that you guys are okay that you are going to do good in life. I HOPE YOU GUYS WILL DO GOOD. Dear Mom & Dad
To the parents of James Adams:
ReplyDeleteI am writing this letter because I am truly sorry about your lost. James and I were very close. Thank you for giving up your son for freedom. You all have gone through a lot without him. I’m sure you are proud to say that you are a parent of a veteran. My brother was one of those people who died in war too. I know how you feel. I’m so sorry about you lost.
He was a really good person. It really sucks he isn’t here to see all his friends and family. I remember when we were in high school my brother and him use to talk about football and the war. He always told him that he wanted to go to war but we never thought he would. He always had a big heart. He always tried to help someone. This was a way of helping everyone I guess. It sucks he couldn’t start a family like he wanted to. It really sucks that he left so many people who cared and loved him.
Once again I really do appreciate that you let one of your sons die for so many people who don’t really care if there “Free” or not. They don’t really care that people are out there fighting for them. Thank you so much. If it wasn’t for people like him then this would be a whole different world. There is not enough thanks yous to describe how thankful I am for people like you and your son.
Thank you so very much,
Emily Renee
Dear Bryians cousin,
ReplyDeleteBryian, true is not coming back, to be a fun and important part of my life, however your truly sincere and loving letter has again made him alive and fresh in my heart. I know that his only regret for his ultimate sacrifice for his country, is not being there for me as friend and companion. I will continue to cherish Bryian, and glad there is someone like you who will also keep him alive in our thoughts and prayers.
With loving thoughts Brittany

Dear Miss. Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your grandpa. Antoine was as sweet as sweet can be. He was the second person in my family to be in the war that I know of. I have pictures of me holding Antoine when he was younger. I tend to look at them more often now that he has gone. It is really hard for me too. I just wish it was those days again, when he was still here and everything was ok.
I am really sorry about your grandma. I hope she gets better. Eventually it really sucks having one person die then have someone else in your family have cancer. Just keep your head up and think of the positive things that could happen.
I hope you do good
The parents of Antoine Gawjots

I am sorry for your sons loss. I think he was a good preson therefore he helped out a lot with the United States. I lost a important friend about two years, and I’m still not over it, since then I think about her all the time. Sometimes I think it’s getting better, but only time heals the mind.
Love Miranda Renee
But you have to move on sometime and know he did this for you and would want you to keep living your life and keep doing good.
ReplyDeleteDear mrs jessica i am sorry to hear about your pappa.i hope you are going to feel better very soon okay. well i just lost my grandmother last year so dont feal bad. love sierrah
