O my Hero, you made us Immortal...

America's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.

Phelps was a good man.

Phelps was a good man who always brought a smile to your face no matter what mood you were in. He always knew the right thing to say to make everyone laugh. Coty will be missed by all. I am glad that I have had the privilege to know and serve with Coty.

Heroes always

I am the mom of Ellen whose husband Dave is here in Anchorage in the Army. We at home always have our soldiers in our prayers. Those who are still with us, and those who have gone to God. Know that there are many silent voices whose hearts speak for you.
