I regret to inform you

It is with the utmost sorrow that I have learned of the loss of your son, Elijah, genuine American Hero. Every time one of our Brave Warriors is taken from us a piece of us goes with him/her. As Americans we all owe Elijah and your family a debt that we can never repay. I am in awe of rhe courageous young men and women who willingly place themselves in harm's on our behalf. No, I didn't know Elijah, and he didn't know me, but he offered to give his tommorow so that I could have my today. Priceless, deeply humbling. I pray that God will comfort you and hold Elijah in his loving arms until you are one day reunited in his Kingdom.

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

We are so grateful for the amazing outpouring of truly heartfelt compassion and recognition for Elijah's heroism and his passing. We are truly overwhelmed at the wonderful, deep humanity here. Thank you, each and every one of you for taking the time and effort to write. We buried Elijah today and are now working to moving forward. From our entire family, please accept our most grateful appreciation for your kindness, thoughts, prayers, and comments.

Just saw this and therefore late.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

I was at dinner with my wife and son tonight and saw a young man in his Army dress uniform. I think from the 101st Airborne. Like all of them, tall, muscular, self confident, the kind of kids we grow in this country. I was thinking of Elijah and felt compelled to ask if I might thank him for his service.
He said "Sure" and took my hand as he met my eyes. I don't know if it met much to him but it did to me.
God, I love them so.

 

[Gutpile Charlie]

My sincere condolences. What can anyone ever say at at time like this?

Go with God.

 

[Poohgyrr]

God Bless

May the Lord bestow his blessings upon your family. And we extend our deepfelt gratitude and prayers. I truly believe when someone steps up to answer the call for service, it reflects well and does honor, not only upon them, but upon their family as well.

Please give your family members a heartfelt hug from us, and our blessings too during this time of sorrow, and for the future too.

I am only 32 and have two precious twin sons, about to turn three years old.

I can't imagine the pain of losing a child.

My deepest sympathy for your loss and eternal gratitude for his sacrifice.
