My son is also serving in Iraq, you have our deepest sympathy, know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of this amazing soldier and his beautiful daughter, Trinity. May she someday know how special he was, how much her father loved her and what an American hero he truly is.
I hope the special memories you have of him through the years help you through the difficult days ahead, I will be forever thankful for the sacrifice he made serving our country and he will never be forgotten.

My thought and prayers are with the family of SSG Wobler. Zach's father was my little league coach for three years. I grew up with his older brother Brandon. I just recently return from Iraq. They lived three miles from my family. Their father Toney is a great man and would do anything for his kids. Zach would follow is older brother around everywhere. I can't imagine how you are feeling Coach Wobler or Brandon but if you need anything just give us a call. Your son will never be forgotten by me.
