Our sincere condolences to the family of Spc Rogers. He leaves behind his wife, who is 6 months pregnant, and a 3 year old daughter. May both of his children grow up knowing their father's love for them, and always remember he was an hero who gave his life for their freedom, and ours.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Spc. Nicholas K. Rogers. The love and appreciation for your service to our country knows no boundaries or limits. Godspeed soldier!
Wish I was already in FL, my adopted state, to attend this PGR mission. Will be arriving in late November for the winter and will be standing by, and ready if necessary, in Lake Worth through May.

Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests.

We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.
