| SSG Bolander, you are deeply appreciated. I know you have been welcomed as a hero at heavens gates, along with all our fallen warriors who have gone before you. Rest easy now, Bryan, and know you will be forever remembered here. |
|
Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SSG Bryan E. Bolander. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Bryan.
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.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

These are photos of a hero, who died in operation Iraq freedom May 29, 2008. The photos of him and the baby are of him and our now five year old (soon to be 6 May 31st.) son. They were taken on or before his first tour in Iraq. I think that--he should be remember for the sacrifices he made, and the loss his son will forever live with. I also think its important that its out there how much he cared about the people of Iraq and how good he was to the citizens of that country... He deserved better. He will be forever missed and remembered. He was a truly brave, and caring individual who truly possessed great honor and integrity...
Thanks,
Marcia Wardwell
