“My father, Captain Warren A Frank, was killed during his third combat deployment when I was just a year and a half, and my little sister two months. While I don't have memories, and only a handful of photos, I carry his legacy every single day. His courage and commitment pushes me to always try my hardest and to step out of my comfort zone, and do always give back to my community. I try everyday to make him proud.”

“Chris and I met in 2014 through mutual friends, and from the moment we connected, life was just brighter with him in it. He had an incredible sense of humor—always joking around, always smiling. He loved riding his motorcycle, playing pool and bowling, and just enjoying the little things in life. We laughed a lot. Movie dates and arcade nights were some of our favorite ways to spend time together. Chris was proudly from Cleveland, Ohio—and a diehard Cleveland Browns fan through and through. His favorite colors were green and red, and they matched the bold, passionate way he lived his life. When our son Ashton was born, Chris was deployed in Korea. Even from across the world, he made sure Ashton and I felt his love every single day. Ashton misses his dad deeply—and so do I. Chris wasn’t just my partner—he was my best friend. Navigating life without him has been incredibly difficult, but I hold tightly to the love, the laughter, and the memories we created together. Chris’s spirit lives on in Ashton and in all the lives he touched. We are so proud of him—his service, his heart, and the legacy he left behind.”

“My husband was a Marine, through and through. And sadly our daughter will never know or remember him. She remains steadfast and strong at such a tender age. She wasn’t two when he decided his fate. We will honor and grieve him as long as time is a thing. This life can be tragic, and my husband would likely insert a joke here to make everyone laugh in an uncomfortable paragraph to write.. so in his honor I’ll just say “penis”. Because he would laugh harder than a 12 year old on recess.”

“Germany and I were so in love and couldn't wait to start a family. We had to do IVF but it was the best decision. Here I am 10 years later so grateful we took the leap to start our family even if it was non conventional and not at all how we thought we would become parents. Germany was kind, and loving. He helped any and everyone who needed him. We was that kind of Marine too, he took the statement "No Marine left behind.," seriously. Germany only had 14 months with his daughter but he was so happy. He took her to work with him often and even took naps with her in his office. He was about to graduate with his bachelors degree when he fell ill. While he was in school he worked in the veteran's liaison office. I am so proud to be his spouse. I feel even in his death, I am honored he was mine.”

“Juan Carlos Baldeosingh was my father. He served with courage and honor, and he gave his life while serving in Iraq. Everyone who knew him always says the same thing: he was funny, full of life, and could make anyone laugh. But beyond the laughter, what truly defined him was his deep love for his family. He was a devoted father, and we carry his memory with pride and love every day. His sacrifice reminds us of the strength and heart he brought not only to his service but to our home. Everything I do is in honor of him!”

“Dustin served 3 combat tours to Iraq with distinction. He was everything a Marine was meant to be. Fiercely loyal, tenacious, stubborn, hard working, with a wicked sense of humor and the philosophy to live life to the fullest. He carried those traits into our marriage and into fatherhood as well.”
