I do have contact information for 5 of these families in case you'd like me to pass on any condolences. Thankfully, we Gold Star families do have our ways of connecting.

I located this listing just surfing to see where all the story was located. I was touched by your taking the time to list the other men that died in this event. I am also sorry for your loss, but grateful for the men and women willing to serve. Thank you for sharing this story. It has been meaningful to far more people than just Karla's family.

Just doing what I can to remember our boys and help their families... We're all in this together.

I appreciate what you folks did with this memorial.

Semper Fidelis,
