God bless you.

You are in our prayers.

If you have not already, you will question the motives behind these wars. When you do, Stop. Those of us who fight for our country do not choose the battles but choose to serve and fight for the men and women on our right and our left both in the field and at home. And reguardless of how rightious or not any one cause may be as the good book says, "Greater love hath no man but that he lay down his life for another" and there is nothing that tops that reguardless of surrounding circumstance. I personally believe in the cause, some of my soldiers less so but we stand up and protect and fight for one another. May God grant you peace, and soften yours and our loss.

My condolences & prayers.

Thank you for raising and loving your son. You raised him to be principled and strong enough to risk -- and ultimately give -- his life for us and generations to come.

Your family and the families of other soldiers are in our prayers.

God bless you.

My heart goes out to your family. I'm sorry for your loss.

Your son has made a difference in this world. I am sorry for your loss. My son is 5 yrs old and I hope he is as brave and honorable a man as Elijah. My thoughts are with you.

My words really can't tell you how sorry I am for your (& our) loss of this son, husband, father & soldier. I feel he will be missed greatly by quite a few people.

This war, as others before it, have taken way too many lives of brave soldiers who are willing to fight those who would take valuable freedoms from the rest of us.

I'm sorry that you have to bear such sorrow.

You have our prayers and deepest sympathy, as do Elijah's wife and child. May the Lord bless you and keep you and give you strength in this hour of great loss.
