Arnold wrote: I only met Sgt. Nguyen briefly but his memorial service here at Camp Phoenix in Kabul, Afghanistan, made everyone realize what a special Soldier he was. Recently nominated to become a Warrant Officer, he had been named NCO of the year in 2005. He was always leading, always coaching. His loss is felt across the country.

Leslie Patton wrote: Today there will be a large group of us that go to Willamette Cemetary for the Memorial Day Service and to meet at the graveside of Chris Pate. He was killed almost 2 years ago and for all of us that knew him and loved him, each day holds a piece of sadness and yet then a smile when remembering some crazy story. He was my son's closest friend and there are photos and memories of their many adventures from childhood, then college and travelling the world. This year my son and his wife had their first child, a now 4 month old little guy with the middle name of Christopher after my son's best friend and one of the best young men we have ever known. We were truly honored to know him. Our constants thoughts and prayers go out to his parents and his former fiancee Margaret. He taught us all about living life with enthusiasm, curiosity, respect and lots of laughter. We all miss him every day.

A lifetime of raising a child with all your hopes and dreams invested is priceless and to loose that is the greatest loss imaginable. No justification can be made. I believe your childs sacrafice is part of an effort much larger than themselves and is to prevent a catastrophie on parr with some of the greatest in history . It will take a great deal of what this country has and we can only hope that is enough. Regardless of the outcome we will always remember the sacrafices made by our children and your child. He was a key contributer in his sacrafice to preservation of the lives of others. If we had a way to measure it , would count more than his own . We as a country stand behind your family and its courage and let us help share the burden of your loss.

SSG Len A. Dannhaus wrote: Ricky was in my Platoon when we deployed to Iraq and to Tal Afar. I have never met a more conscientious young man as Rick, always thinking of others before himself. He made my life, and the lives of the men on his Bradley Cavalry Fighting Vehicle easier through his good will and hard work. I was not on the patrol he volunteered for, nor was I with him during his last moments. I only had one opportunity to say goodbye, and I'd just as soon not remember seeing Rick that way. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of him. I want to say to his family how deeply sorry I am for their loss, and I still miss him, every day. Thank You, Len Dannhaus
