  • The worse thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. I have a son in the US Army and when he is away from home I don't breathe, but I know that he is doing something for this country and making sacrifices for us each day just as Ryan and his family have done. Thank you Ryan. My heartfelt condolences go out to your family. Because of brave men and women such as yourself my other children can live in a country that is free and safer.

  • RIP Thanks for what you did for our country

  • [Salutes.] You did your country proud. Rest in peace, fallen hero. 

  • R.I.P. Ryan

  • Dear Ryan, I have not forgotten, nor will I ever! You were my 1st PGR mission. 270 miles, the last 50 in a blinding rain only to be welcomed by your family and friends as if I were a hero. How appropriate the song "Where Eagles Fly" because those that came to Honor your sacrifice were treated to just that, a solitary eagle on motionless wings soaring effortlessly overhead as your service comenced, how could one ever forget you after that? Still honored to have stood for you. Remembered Forever.

  • Thank You Sgt, Ryan D. Jopek !! R.I.P
