I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family in this tough time. Elijah was one of the first soldiers in the East Hill Military Support Group and will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. We too have sons in the Military and hope we never have to hear those words spoken to us. My very best to you and yours. I don't have words to express what I feel.
I do not have the words to express my sorrow for you and your family. I do not have the words to express my love and respect for your son. Thank you for your sacrifice. God Bless Elijah.
So sorry to hear about your loss. My neighbor 3 doors down, lost their son over there in Aug, 07 and I think about him every time I drive by their house.
As a U.S.Army retiree, words cannot explain how sad I feel about your loss DHART. I pray for all our young service members that are told to march into battle and do the things that they do in the defense of our great country. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.
