Ryan was a dear friend of mine. I remeber the best times we had. He was a great friend and a even better soldier. Ryan may you rest and peace. Your are in a better place now.
ReplyDeleteLane may have given you a dirty look if you called him a soldier. He was a Marine.
ReplyDeleteI was fortunate enough to stand for Sgt Ryan H Lane with my PGR Brothers and Sisters at his calling hours 8-1-09. The family seemed truely remarkable, and the community so hospitable. May You all rest easier knowing Ryan is resting in PEACE.
ReplyDeleteIt really hit home when Delta met up with us at Camp Dewyer. I had to keep reminding myself of what happened. Now that I'm home, it's so painful. Dude, I miss you. Your boys did great. Even Gen. nicholson mentioned "Delta's Red Plt."
ReplyDeleteIt is Christmas Eve and since we have lost Ryan our lives will never be the same. Ryan was not only a true Marine but he love the Corps and believed in his Marines when they entered Afghsnistan. They say that there is a reasonn for everything and we can only think that you were in our family lives and friendships to allow us to enjoy you and know a true Hero. We love you and you are with us at all times.

Son,it is coming on four years since you left to be with your Marines that have also past. You continue to receive awards and honors. We all see you as a true Marine and a leader that trained his Marines to return home. I as your father still see you as a son that I was always proud of and knew you would find your place in life. You found it and I know you were happy and that is all I ever wanted, to see you happy and satisified with yourself.
ReplyDeleteTime goes on and it doesn't heal but we have to believe.
God be with you and I love you son and my best friend.
