I would like to add my sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sgt. Jason Swiger, and profound gratitude to Sgt. Swiger for his service to the United States of America. At the same time we bow our heads to bid this fine American 'farewell', we will all stand a little taller, and draw inspiration from the fact that he was one of us.

To the Family and Friends of Sgt Jason Swiger,
My heartfelt condolences go out to you all. Words can not convey the sorrow that is felt by all when one of America’s patriots has laid down his life so that others may enjoy the everyday freedoms that we take for granted. I for one will never forget the sacrifice made by one who strongly believed in, exemplified and committed his life to the very ideals that forged this nation and have kept it strong all these years. May God comfort you with his strength in this difficult time and may he grant Jason eternal peace.
Respectfully, |

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Jason.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through. |

To your family, we pray that you find comfort from those around you and in the words of others. We lost our nephew in Iraq last year, and know the pain you will endure. May God bless you and eaze your sadness, and allow you to find joy through your most treasured moments. |

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.
