May God bless you and Elijah. We are so lucky to have him and those like him fight for us.

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. No parent should outlive their child and there are no words I could provide to make it any easier. I just want to say we should all be proud of him. He died making this world a better place for all of us.

It is with a heavy heart that I pray for you and your family. Words fail me, but I will honor you and your family by instilling in my children what our freedoms mean and what price others have paid so we may live our lives.

I am only one of the millions of beneficiaries of Elijah's service and sacrifice, and for that he is a Patriot and will forever have respect and honor in my heart. My prayers and condolences to the Hart family.

So very sorry on your loss, and thoughts and prayers to all family members. We went through this with our nephew two years ago and know what you are going through and have yet to face, so be strong and again thoughts and prayers.

Having lost family in Iraq, I am extremely sorry to hear of your loss. Elijah will never really be gone as long as his memory is kept alive.

If there's anything that I or anyone here can do to be of help just let me/us know..
Your Son Was a Hero to me..

I am so sorry to hear this. I pray that you are given strength for you and all his family to cope through this.
Of course it's been a mostly sleepless night. We cannot believe that this is real. Being visited by the amazing Army officers we were visited by was a reality jolt. But greeting Elijah when he arrives home here in our community by Lear jet... escorted by and received by Military Honor Guard... that may well be one of the hardest moments... until, well....
The Army is providing escorts for Elijah throughout every step in this process, until our final goodbyes. His body will never be left alone until we say our final goodbyes. The respect and dignity these fine young men display toward our fallen (and their brothers in arms) is most impressive indeed. The Army officer who gave us the news yesterday (accompanied by a chaplain) was so moved (to tears) that it was extremely difficult for him to complete his task. He also told us that he has lost 19 of his men and though he is trained to retain composure in such official tasks as this, he himself was overtaken by grief and overwhelmed.... as were we all.
Elijah's mother and I cannot begin to express to ALL of you how very much your thoughts, prayers, and genuinely shared grief means to us. I have made friends with many of you around one of our favorite subjects, S&W's, and to hear from you again in this thread is moving to me.
We are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring you all have given us, one by one by one adding more and more and more by every hour. Thank you so very much and bless you all.
I have read every post in this thread, several times over and never realized how much it could help to know that so many understand and genuinely care. Thank you all so, so, so very much for taking the time and effort to post here. It means much more to us than you possibly realize. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sharon asks me to tell you that she knows she going to see Elijah again. She is so heartbroken. Thanks so much.
