Linck and I went through

Linck and I went through PLDC together in 2003, and I spent some time with his LRSD unit in Afghanistan. I only recently found out that he was killed in Iraq. Linck was a dedicated Soldier who still knew how to have fun when he wasn't working, and I'm proud to have served with him. I'm terribly sorry for your family's loss.

He is like the wind, I can't

He is like the wind, I can't see him, but I can feel him.
I miss Will so much. I knew him since the first day he got to Alaska. Always smiling, goofy. I was drawn to him. His family is my prayers. I am still currently here in Iraq. He is an angel now looking down on each and everyone of us. I believe it with all of my heart.

We just recently met your son and only knew him for a short time, but he made a big impression on our life and I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful young man with a lot of potential.
