    I was the stranger who couldn't just drive by. I got out of my car and knelt by your side. I promised you I would do all I can. I kept you warm and held your hand. Help is on the way but it came too late. Every night I lay down I see your face. It was all I could do but it wasn't enough. I never knew that this life was this tough. Maybe some day I'll see your face on the other side of Heaven where I won't be too late.

    Timex, I only recently met you and made only 4 or 5 PGR Missions with you. In that time, I could tell that you were a kind, gentle and humble American Patriot. And, I could sense a wounded feeling in you that really touched me. After I found out that you lost your son just 15 months ago I knew why. I have experienced that same loss. I will miss seeing you at the PGR Missions and CVMA functions. Rest in peace my friend. We will miss you!Larry (Daddy Rabbit) Stout

    It is with great sorrow that I write this note to you today. I knew Sgt. Duggin well during my time in the 39th Infantry and had the utmost respect for him. He was an upstanding and caring leader in both his service and his everyday life. Overall a great role model for the young people whose lives he touched. He will be missed by all who knew him.Spec.

    Lynda and John, you know we love you and are praying for you both. I don't know how to begin to say goodbye to my brother of over 40 years. To say I will miss you is not enough, to say we loved you is an understatement. Saying our life was richer and we were blessed by being allowed to know and love you is the best I can do. I love you Doyle, and thanks for taking care of my sister.
