Dear families and friends of our fallen heroes,
I'm offering this web site as an opportunity for everybody to continue to remember and support our enlisted loved
ones. I invite you to submit a jpeg photo and a brief story of your fallen hero. By offering our stories, I believe
we can begin to understand and appreciate our tremendous losses. The motivation for this endeavor is extremely heart
felt. My two sons, Nicholes and Kristofer, chose to enlist in the Army upon their graduations from high school. Nicholes
left for boot camp in September 2004 and deployed to Iraq in March 2005. He returned from that tour of duty in early 2006.
Kristofer, graduating from high school early, started his boot camp training in February 2006. Kristofer strived to one
up his brother. He decided to train as an Army Ranger. He became one of the youngest recruits to accomplish this goal.
Kristofer was then deployed to Afghanistan in January, 2007. He was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on February
17th of that year. I was notified of Kristofer's death on February 18, 2007.
After this painful news:
It would
be easy to say that February 18, 2007 was the the hardest day of my life, but in all honesty I'd have to say there isn't
a day when the pain is so overwhelming that I have to push myself just to put one foot in front of the other. While my boys
were deployed, I was an avid news watcher listening carefully for the daily casualties and feeling sorry for the families
of the troops killed. Only after Kristofer's death can I even begin to understand the pain those families and friends
have felt.
I have become a Proud Gold Star Mom. I
believe it is my duty to help our communities not forget the sacrifices that our servicemen and servicewomen have
made for the on going freedom we so cherish in this country.
"Never Forget Our Fallen" will hold an
annual memorial event to
honor those we have lost and to support our
servicemen and servicewomen who put their lives on the line
each and every day. In addition, Never Forget Our Fallen plans to build a memorial wall honoring all servicemen and servicewomen
who lost their life on 9/11 and all the troops who lost their life in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Never Forget Our Fallen
and please
support our
Servicemen and Servicewomen.
Any assistance that you may be of will be greatly
appreciated.
