I am just seeing this and I wanted to say how sorry I am. That is so tragic, Alycia.

Jenn218 · 08-08-2007, 01:29 PM

Ohhhh Alycia.....special prayers are going out to your family!

I have known so many in several of the wars, thank goodness, they have all made it back home.....My cousin just got out of the Marines on a Medical (honorable) discharge.....He wanted to follow in fellow family members footsteps and went has far as to get the pins taken out of his ankle to join (yep, that is right...that is what the Marines had him do...no other branches would take him)...anyway, after 2 years of training and getting ready to get deployed this fall, something major happened and he had to leave. AND he was very upset about it....kind of glad (I am sure), but these guys want to be there! OH MY GOODNESS!!

Just remember, we are all here for you!

Big, Big hugs go out to you and your family!!

We are all indebted to Justin and his family for this supreme sacrifice.

Alycia -- I am SO sorry to hear this. How horrible for you and your family.
We've lost too many boys and girls over there already.

Thoughts and prayers in abundance to you and your family at this unbelievably difficult time.

LuvMySissy · 08-09-2007, 12:20 PM

Wanted to let you all know that I spoke with Alycia last night and her cousin's body is supposed to be back Saturday. They expect the funeral to be Monday or Tuesday. Please pray for Alycia and her family. Her cousin was like a brother to her. She has been through so much in the last few months she can use the support of her YT friends.

So glad you left us know. She and her family will be in my thoughs and prayers.

My cousins body, what they could find of it that is, was escorted into Paris TN today by the Patriot Guard. The funeral is going to be either Monday or Tuesday.

His humvee was hit by mortar round and he and the other guy from his unit in the humvee were both killed instantly. There was nothing anyone could do. The entire truck was blown up. They found what they could and sadly, my cousin is being buried without his right arm. It will be a closed casket funeral. They said the body is too destroyed for viewing.

He was 27 years old and I was mistaken in how many children he had. His girlfriend had just given birth to my cousins first son in March. He leaves behind 2 daughters, ages 8 and 2, and one son age 4 1/2 months. He had named his son Joshua after my brother.

My brother has managed to get approved for leave from Germany. He will be in tomorrow evening and I will be riding down to the funeral with him. I am glad to get to see my brother, but my heart hearts for the circumstances that brings him home.

Of our immediate direct family descent, my cousin is the first loss we have had in combat since the civil war. That is a long time to have family in combat and have them all come home.

Of my two grandparents, our family numbered 80...they had 9 children, 35 grandchildren, and I think there are 33 or 34 great grandchildren. That is including step children too. Such a large family we have and for the most part we are all really close and MOST of my family will be there for Justin's memorial services.
