 I would like to honor my hero, my husband, David.
David is in the U.S Army, he’s a combat engineer. He has served 2 tours in Iraq, a total of 27 months and is due to go back for a 3rd this summer. David is an outstanding soldier. He takes great care of his soldiers all while giving it 110% himself everyday. He is a wonderful father to our son, Gabriel. It’s amazing how he can come home and change from soldier to Daddy, just like that.
My husband is proud to defend his country, his family, and his friends.
Thank you David, for all that you do for us.
I love you.

Hi, my name is Connie and I would like to pay tribute to my husband, Chris. I have recently been through a very personal struggle that would destroy most marriages, but Chris stood by me and our marriage through all of it. He continues to be my husband, friend and guide and I’m positive we will see “the light at the end of the tunnel”. I love you, Chris and Thank you.
Also, I want to say Thank You to this website, because, even though I don’t personally have any family in the Military, I deeply admire all those who are. Because of their willingness to place themselves in harms way, the rest of us are given the privilege to live in freedom.
Thanks to all of you!

I would like to pay tribute to my husband, PFC Beau Riley Young, in the United States Army. He enlisted June 29, 2009, and is currently serving. We have to make sacrifices in our relationship, but he is well worth it. Baby, you are so amazing!
I love you, and hope that you are doing well where ever you are.
I would like to pay tribute to my grandson Airman Joshua D. Busch. He went through basic training at Lackland AFB Texas. He was picked for Honor Guard and is now training in Bolling AFB D. C. We are very proud of you and your accomplishments.
Love You,
Grandma Donna
I served in Vietnam with the 25th Infantry Division. It was our job to recover, receive and process men that were killed in action (KIA’d). This is a tribute to them and the work that was done recovering those that gave their lives for the US.
It was never easy – unbelievable situations — but we did our jobs. We may have flashbacks, sleepless nights, and rememberances of the horrors we saw – but we did our jobs. I know that many a family that got their loved ones home and rested easier knowing they were “Home”. That’s our salvation.
God Bless America and God Bless those that have served and are serving this great country.

My tribute is to my father, my mate, my hero and my friend.
My father past away 25 years ago yesterday, at the young age of 52. Dad was a very proud Vietnam Vet and shared many a heart-breaking story with me over the years. He was a dedicated soldier and he spoke proudly of his fellow soldier mates. He was a devoted loving father to three daughters who looked up to him with pride. He was and always will be my hero.
I love & miss you dad. May your rest in peace. Neville Bernard Wurth, September 25, 1933 to June 6, 1985

My Dad is an EMT who also served in Iraq. I’m very proud of him. He is SSGT John Boissonneau from Berlin NH. He went with the 2nd Battalion of the 197 Infantry Brigade in 2003.

I am always and forever honoring my boyfriend, my hero Victor C. Furry of the 122th En. Battalion out of Brookpark, Ohio. We met a month after he returned from his basic training, at our car dealership on July 13, 2009, which was 4 days after my 19th birthday, July 9.
Everyday until July 16th, we hung out after I got off work. I went out of town that weekend until July 21 (which was two days before his birthday July 23), where he met me at my house at 2 am to give me a rose and say welcome home.
I knew something good would come from our meeting, so I accepted his request of becoming his girlfriend, even though he didnt want one because he knew he was deploying that following July for a year. When August came, he went to school and so did I. We didn’t see each other as much as we wanted but somehow, through the grace of God, we made it.
We broke up January 2, 2010, because it was getting close to him leaving and he didn’t want to become emotionally attached to me. It was hard but I agreed. We remained friends until he asked me out again February 27, 2010, the day before he left for his month-long training. After my school let out for sumer, we decided that I should move in with him because we lived in two different cities.
We lived together from the middle of May to July 3, 2010 (which was 6 days before he leaved for his training, which was my 20th birthday). During our time living together, we learned A LOT about one another and GREW so CLOSE together. When July 3rd came it was the hardest day for both of us. I know this because when I looked in his eyes, his look was the exact same as mine. I have never felt so close to a man like this before. He is my second boyfriend, and hopefully my last. So everyday I talk to MY HERO, I make sure I let him know that I love him, I miss him, I cant wait to see him and most of all that I am so proud of him….and I will be waiting for him when he returns home.
