Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

To the Family and Friends of Pfc. Pietrek,
Though words are inadequate, please accept my heartfelt condolences as you deal with this terrible tragedy. I cannot express the depth of my sorrow as I consider what Dawid did for me. He died protecting me and my family while defending the freedom we enjoy from those who would take it away from us. The debt that all Americans owe Pfc. Pietrek and his family cannot be repaid. I will do the only thing I can do and that is to stand for him in the coming days.

Thank you for the mission you gave to your life in protecting our freedoms, and striving to give others, theirs. The lives of you and the men and women who have gone before you are raised high, and not given in vain. I honor you, and pray that our children will learn to do the same throughout coming generations. God bless your family, and may they keep their memories alive and rejoice in the life of a hero.

I just want to send my condolences to Dawid's family and friends. I knew Dawid as he was my father's caregiver last year for a month until my father passed away. David was studying for the Marine's and was very excited when he found out he passed. He was so eager to be a Marine and eventually become a police officer. He was incredibly mature for his age and extremely diciplined and respectful. He was a typical young man in that his pride and joy was his car but he was dedicated and ambitious in a way that inspires other people. I am saddened that his talent will not be fully realized but he was doing exactly what he wanted. Thank you for honoring this young man who I will never forget.

He died for a country that was not his own but, according to those who knew him,
did so with pride and honor. He was my nephew...but more as a friend and like younger brother I never had.
There is no such a word to express my feelings...that I've lost a part of me...
SEMPER FI ! Dawid
You will never be forgotten! Rest in peace.
