Tonight I cried. I really cried. I miss my son Derek, each and every waking minute. He was,is, and always will be my hero. He did not question his mission, as I'm sure he knew what the majority of Americans do not realize, and that is the real threat we face. He fought for democracy in Iraq, knowing that we face global terror if that is not obtained. He fought for the United States, his family, his son's future, and the continued freedom for the citizens of his country. He loved this President and admired the faith and courage he had in knowing the outcome of failure. For my son, I will continue on this mission. I will continue to ask for Sandy Berger to become a man and take a lie detector test. I will ask the Clinton's to do the same. I will pray for those in Congress to have the strength to invoke the Logan Act on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid for their part in embolding the enemy. I will pray for the continued strength of the Patriot Guard and the VietNam Veterans who don't want to see this again. I will pray for the help I need to uncover the corruption in Congress, and dismiss those that are guilty. I will pray that our country once again demands that we are, "One Nation, Under God." I don't wipe away my tears anymore. As one wonderful soldier told me at Walter Reed, "It is part of my story." Tonight I cried. I don't want sympathy, nor would my son. He is, and always will be a patroit, a loyal American, and a warrior for the cause of freedom.

Your son is a hero. This cannot be taken from you or him. The politicians you mention are not worthy to shine your son's shoes.
Deb, you KNOW my heart and prayers are with you and yours. Even the wild man! ;*)
Derek, and you, are among my heroes. May God comfort you and fill you today with His surpassing peace that passes all human understanding.
You are not alone..
My condolences on your loss. He, along with all of them that we lose, are true heroes. Thank you for raising such a good man and thank you for your sacrifice. As to Senator Reid et al. and the press, I hope and pray for karma in the biggest of ways. May justice be done at the end of the day...
No greater love is there than one who lays down his life for another.
God bless you.
My husband’s heading back to Iraq soon. We’ll continue the fight.
Your honor for your son is apparent.
My prayers are with you during your time of grief.
One day every tear will be wiped away.
Your son is in fine company. Lotta heroes in heaven.
Hugs to you.
My prayers are with you also.
He was fighting for freedom for America...for you and me and all the generations to come after him...
If we do not fight there, we will surely be fighting here one day.
Yesterdays arrest of the terrorists in the FT. Dix plot proves it.
He gave his life so blood doesn’t flow in the streets here at home. Suicide bombers at the mall....Terrorists blowing away school children.
I know your pain is beyond description. No greater love than this...to lay down his life for a friend...
Friend in the terms of countryman...
Hugs for you..
Thank you for raising such a fine young man...Thank you for his sacrifice and for yours..
His earthly race is run and he is in the arms of peace..
One day, every tear will be wiped away.
I wish I could give you a hug. Prayers sent.
I am sorry for your loss and thank you for your sacrifices.
Deep in the night, a prayer from far across the miles...
you are not alone................Couldn’t say it better.....Prayers....
Your husband is in my prayers too.
May God Bless all of our soldiers and Marines.
My son is over there now and he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. He is my hero. He has a wife and 3 children. One born after he left.
For all those that have fallen, My prayers for your comfort.
For all those that have family members on active duty anywhere in the world, but especially Iraq/Afganistan please know you have a special place in my heart/prayers.
May God Bless America.!!!!
God bless you and your son. Thank you.
