  1. Thank you so much for having the courage to write this blog. I wish that I would be able to be at the services. We have never met, but my husband is also in Bravo Company, 2nd platoon.

    Everyday I read your blogs and wish that there was something I could say or do for your entire family. I cry everday, wishing that we could go back in time and Shane could come home to you and your family. His name will forever be etched in my memory and I will always pray for him and you all.

    Gone, but never forgotten.

  2. I have known Shane and enjoyed his friendship for many years. He would reenact with us and was like part of the family. I have an aching heart today. I do not have the words to express my sorrow for you and your family. Please accept our condolences. He is truly a hero, one to be proud of. He will always live in our memories as one of us. I am proud to say he was my friend.
