FYI the info about pfc Taylor Marks is incorrect. He was born in Salem, OR and raised in Monmouth, OR. He was 19.

My sincere apologies, this version has been corrected. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Specialist Pellerin. We went to high school together. I attended your funeral. There were generals there, two of them, one Army Brigadier General and one Air Force Major General, and the Governor of New Hampshire. Everyone misses you. I go to see you often enough.

R.I.P. Matthew E. Wildes . You were a good man by many people. You did 150% all the time. You never gave up. Your missed by everyone many wish you were still here. The good die young and evil die old. I know your family and friends wishes you were back and some of your army buddies do to. He was killed the day of my nieces birth. Now I don't know if I want to celebrate my nieces birthday or cry because your not walking on american soil anymore. RIP Pfc Matthew E. Wildes.

Sgt. Matthew L. Ingram was my cousin. We haven't seen each other since we were kids. I had no idea, until today, of his death in Afghanistan. He was killed the day after my birthday. Rest in peace Matthew. You are missed.
