My heart and tears go out to all the families of our fallen heroes,

As most here know, I lost my personal hero 15 apr 2009,

My son, PFC Richard Dewater was taken way to soon.

He went in a boy, he died nothing less then a hero, a MAN !

I to know the pain of a loss such as this, I dont expect to EVER

really recover from this.

Rick and his little brother have always been my life, now my life is many things,

complete is really not one of them at this point.

Yes, I know the pain.

p.s

We do not have a special angel watching over us now,

We have many angels watching over us !

May the Lord hold and watch over our fallen heroes !!

HOOAH

God bless you and your family, SSG Navarrette. I'm sorry for your loss of your brother. Yes, I do believe you have a special angel watching over you and your family.

SSG Navarrette,

I am guessing that COP Honaker-Miracle was named partly in honor of your brother. I have been sending to a unit there who is returning in a few days. For every COP and FOB, I think of the namesakes and the men and women who go through there and don't come home or come home wounded physically or mentally. Much love and sympathy to you and your families. Thank you for posting here in support of other families. We can't begin to know the pain. Big hugs to you all.

My family and I extend our deepest condolences. We too lost one of our own. My brother is/was SPC Christopher Honaker, KIA 05 Jul 07, Watapor Valley Afghanistan. Able Co. 2/503rd Infantry, 173rd ABCT.

I know what pain you live with and I cannot say it ever subsides, our Soldiers are heroes despite how the media twists it. God bless all fallen service members and their families. I miss my Sky Soldier more than I could ever begin to explain, but take comfort in the possibility of the best angel in heaven watching over us.

Hi Bob,

It makes my heart happy that you were able to make this trip. I think it was exactly what you and our boyz in the valley needed. Good medicine (beer lol) for all of you. Give them all a hug from me. Enjoy the rest of your trip. I can't wait for the next installment of your adventure.

Saw an interview with our pink boxer soldier Spc Boyd on tv news tonight. Evidently the boxers are going to be put in a museum ...I don't recall if they mentioned where...maybe someone else saw the interview. Here is a link to another recent article..
