It is with deep sorrow that I post this report. I attended church with Josh and Kim when they were stationed here at Ft Stewart. As the article states better than I could ever hope to, Josh was a fine young man, fellow soldier, and brother in Christ. I can't remeber seeing him without a smile on his face. He will be truly missed.

Please take a moment to lift up his wife Kim and the rest of the family in your prayers. For those of you in the northeastern Georgia or northwestern South Carolina areas, consider attending his funeral next Saturday.

It would have been an honor for any soldier to have served in his command...
What a loss for his family and the US Army
Prayers to his family...he is with the Lord Jesus who purchased him with his blood
May the Lord grant his family His peace & comfort and the knowing that they WILL be re-united

Seems like a fine young man. Prayers.

What a terrible thing! God bless his family, I am broken up over this. It's important that we never get blase about the deaths of such gifted and wonderful people. I pray that the violence against our soldiers abates. I pray that Iraq becomes a country of prosperity and peace.

I also send my condolences to you. It's clear you're very sad to hear this news. I wish I knew him too. He sounds like he was a fine man.

Sad to lose such a fine young man. This article bothers me though in that there's far too much about his parents and their accomplishments. This is not the time or place for them to be listing everything THEY'VE done. It really should have been all about Josh and Kim, not mom and dad. I had to keep going back and rereading to try to just find the facts on HIM. If it were my son, I doubt I'd even be able to think of all the stuff I've done in my life. It almost struck me as them trying to upstage him.

I know that just recently he had written and said that he was worried that people over there had forgotten about them -- because the media had been hailing that the war was over and we had won. ... But actually the last couple of months he said we had taken more hits than in the first couple of weeks in the war when it was covered so well.

We will continue to pray, Captain... we haven't forgotten. May God comfort the family of this fine man; we trust that the Lord has welcomed another good and faithful servant to his home.

Dear God it is horrible when we lose anyone, but such a fine young man makes the loss especially sad. What a leader this man was and would have been. This Nation needs many more like him. May God Bless and Comfort His Family. May we never forget!

Prayers for his family and friends. I thank God that men such as him grace our world.
