I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Joshua Waltenbaugh.
May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we are honoring a true hero who answered the call to serve his country and dedicate a precious segment of his life towards freedom.

and freedom has a taste and price the protected never know..."

Heartfelt condolences to the Family and Friends of Pfc. Joshua E. Waltenbaugh. May your pain be tempered in the knowledge that Rick will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service, Sir. May you rest in peace!
Neither a medal, nor a nation's thanks, can compensate for such a loss or fully honor such devotion and self-sacrifice. At best, we can promise to never forget, and be determined to support all our military and to hold up our end of the bargain as long as we can.

A Soldier's Prayer
(author unknown)
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
