Young Hero

Although you are so young, and left the world too early, but your strength will be learned by many.

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. Toronto Swingers

We miss you!!!

Im finally able to sign my precious sons memorial..I miss you greatly sweetie! Ive been able to take this tradgedy, and use it for good...helping others just like me in this same situation..dealing with the loss of a child...Jessy was such a caring and giving young man. He blessed each one of us, with a love for life. He loved snowboarding, shooting his 300 winmag, and riding his quadrunner. His smile was FANTASTIC!!! He was number 4 in line, of 13 brothers and sisters. He cared for each of his siblings. He dreamed of coming back to Alaska after his service to our country, and work again along side his 4 older brothers, in our construction business, and buying land, to build a cabin on. He helped build the cabin that we are now living in. We bought land without access, so each board and nail etc...was carried in on our backs. Jessy, along with his siblings, was a HUGE part of our success in getting our place built, and the land cleared. He was one month shy of his 21st birthday when he died in Afghanistan. It wasnt the Lords will that he come home and fulfill that dream of building his own paradise. But Jessy fulfilled one of his dreams, and that was serving his country! He did so proudly too...Jessy was a born again Christian, so I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt,we will see him again in Heaven! Ive joined up with the AGSM (American Goldstar Mothers), based in Washington, and now Im going to begin work here in our own state of Alaska, helping others heal and grow through each individual tradgedy. I want to continue Jessys mission, right here on my own turf, right here where I can do the most good...my own state...my own neighbors...promoting FREEDOM in America, and SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS and their families, here, and overseas.
Your GREATLY missed sweetie! Your my hero!!! I love you..

It appears that ADN and the Patriot Guard organization are both having trouble locating the family of this fallen soldier. I hope the people of Palmer and Copper Center will click onto the URL to see his picture. It may jog someones memory.

RIP pfc Rogers, there are many eyes looking out for your memory.
