1st Sgt. Edward Smith was a great friend. He was like a second father to me. I think he was the best Marine. I will always remember the day he died in Iraq my dad Staff Sgt.Robert Gutierrez left for Iraq it was like angels told him to go save a great friend that got killed. EDWARD I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU.
God bless you and your family, Ashley Gutierrez

Dear Ashley, Thank you for your dad's service, and for the service and sacrifice of your "second" dad, in the cause of FREEDOM.

Mr Deconto was a good man and a very respected Naval officer. My name is Jack Taylor. I was in engineering with MR DECONTO on board the USS EXCEL MSO 439 my heart was shattered to hear what happened to him at the Pentagon on 9/11 our prayers are with the family.

Dear Jack, Thank you for your service in the cause of FREEDOM, and thank you for honoring Mr. Deconto's service and sacrifice on behalf of FREEDOM.
