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 |

Thank you, Pvt. Young, 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 am so sorry for the lost of this fine young man. I can only begin to understand the hurt you as a family must be going through. Our prayers go out to you for peace and comfort becuase I am sure Joshua is in the arms of the lord now. I have a son that is 22 now and serving in Fob Rustamiyah as a Combat Medic. We pray daily for him and all of the others over there but I know that we have no concept of the burden your heart is going through. May God bless and sooth your troubled hearts with his love.
