“My daughter and I lost her father and my husband before she was two years old. I knew him since I was 10, and we were married for 10 years. But a prolonged, untreated condition of PTSD ended in the most unfortunate way. I, in turn, now have the PTSD, I battle at it every day, with finding gratitude with the time we had together.. We miss him immensely. And though I am grateful to be able to look in the eyes, so similar to those that used to look at me, it is heartbreaking that he cannot watch her grow.”

“Damion was an amazing man who loved his family and his country. He served 2 tours in Iraq before returning home and getting out of the Army to spend more time with his family. He then transitioned to the Sheriff's department where he was a deputy for a few years. He ultimately decided he wanted to be closer to family and moved to IL. Here he spent his days playing video games with his son and pushing his daughters on the swing set or just playing with them outside. His children were his world. He unfortunately suffered a PTSD induced heart attack at the early age of 37. He continues to live on through his children and wife, and watches over them every day.”

“My Husband joined the army at age 30 after 9/11 happened. He chose to go enlisted although he had a Bachelor’s degree already. He did 3 tours in Iraq back to back and then was stationed at Ft Bragg where I met him. We were married about a year later and we lost our first child, Rachel Elizabeth, at 26 weeks gestation; she is now buried with him at Arlington National Cemetery. We had our 2nd child, Jack in 2013. Scott always went above and beyond for his Soldiers and anyone that was lucky enough to meet him. He was an amazing Father and Husband. His loss is greatly felt. We miss him daily.”

“COL David McCracken and I were married for 16 years. We met while working at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY. As a US Army Reservist, David deployed several times after 9/11. His last deployment was to Victory Base Complex located in Baghdad, Iraq. He deployed days after settling into our new home in Tyrone, GA. He was not due to deploy again for a few more years. However, 12 days after landing back in the States, we were notified of David’s imminent departure. In early 2008, David arrived in Iraq resolving to come back in the best shape of his life. He started a fitness plan and began running daily. He added in a weight lifting program and came home a very fit 180 lbs. During his post-deployment medical exam, it was noted that while fit, he was now experiencing, “a persistent cough and headaches.” The headaches continued but still continued with his fitness regime. We sought medical assistance when he couldn’t rise up out of bed in early October of 2010. During a CT scan, the doctors picked up on two suspicious looking masses in his brain. A biopsy confirmed that David had Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive type of brain cancer. David deteriorated very rapidly, surprising all of his doctors because he was in such outstanding shape. David fought until the end, continuing to honor his Reservist duties and regularly attending Battle Assemblies. He was promoted to the rank of Colonel one month before his death. He approached each day with courage and never gave up his will to drive on and make each day a memory. It became our family motto, “Make memories.” David's death was recently ruled service-connected due to exposure to toxins while deployed in Iraq. His wife and children seek to carry on his legacy by reaching out to those experiencing loss of similar nature across the US”
