. . They Are Gone But Not Forgotten . . 

A Salute To Our Fallen Comrades
Gone But Not Forgotten
Greater Love Hath No Man Than This

In Loving Memory Until We Meet Again

These are pictures of loved ones that have either been KIA or passed on in other ways.  A family member has requested that their loved one be placed on our Memorial Page where they will be honored and remembered for years to come.  As you view each picture, please remember their family, friends and loved ones in your prayers.  They have suffered a great loss in their lives. These are dad's, mom's, brother's, sister's, and other relatives that have had a very close relationship with one another and are deeply missed.

 

 

These pictures can't bring them back to us, but they can bring back lots of memories each time you visit.  If you have pictures of loved ones that served our country and you would like to have them posted on this site, please send them by E-mail with their name, rank, where they are from, the year they passed, where, service dates and other information you would like to post with their picture.  If you send their picture and information by mail, you may not get them back.  {Be sure to send a copy}

2 Samuel 12:22-23  

And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? Ishall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

John 15:13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

It is a terrible thing to lose a loved one, but it is even harder to lose one's own child in wartime.  While our sons, daughters and loved ones are gone from home, not knowing if we will ever see them again or not, we pray, fast, seek God's face and ask others to pray while they are away.  
If for some reason it isn't meant to be for us to get them back, we must follow David's example and do our best to go on with life and comfort those about us.  We never forget them.

 

 

They are always living in our hearts and minds.  We can keep them alive in the hearts and minds of all by doing something in their memory, and as David said, we can't bring them back to us, but we have the hope of seeing them again someday.   I lost my brother-in-law in the Vietnam War and some of my closest friends who were in the boy scouts with me in the early 60s.  I can remember sitting outside my barracks and reading about their death in a letter from my Scoutmaster, Mr. Dave Wear. All I could do was sit they're holding my letter and cry.  I want to dedicate these pages to my brother-in-law, my friends who were in the scouts with me and to Jonathan Etterling who was killed in Iraq, who was from Wheelersburg.

Rest easy, sleep well, my brothers.
Know the line has held, your job is done.
Rest easy, sleep well.
Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held.
Peace, peace, and farewell...
