Name released from one of the rocket attack casualties at Camp Cooke. Based on his last name its likely he is from my town.

He was up for retirement right before the U.S-led invasion into Iraq but asked for an extension, his family said.

Rush was right. They are all Pat Tillmans. I hope CWO Kordsmeier's family knows what a patriot he was and this comforts them in their time of grief. I am grateful for his service as I sit here at my keyboard, with the freedom to do so because of people like him.

Dear All,

My friend at Camp Cooke directed me to these posts about my brother-in-law, Chief Kordsmeier. I wanted to thank all those who have expressed support for Patrick's service, our family and the 39th.

Patrick wished only to serve those he called "my guys," all the men who trained with him, worked with him and depended upon his doing his job supplying them with the goods and gear they need to do their jobs. He wasn't about to stay home when his people were in a fight.

We cry for losing him, but understand he was right where he meant to be.

Godspeed to the 39th.

Meek, my heart just jumped out of my throat and I almost cried clicking on this story, scared to death to see George's name. I think this is who George is with.

I'm so sad to hear this news. Grateful to God it isn't George but weeping for another family.

Y'all keep praying please.

May God hold his family close now and give them peace and strength to endure, in Jesus' name.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord
and let Thy perpetual Light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.
