I went to school with Dustin, I never knew him well but I know that it takes a lot for someone to sacrifice the things that he did for his country and I am proud to be from the same town as he was and will always remember him for the things he did for our country. For his family and parents, I want to tell you how much I appreciate your personal sacrifices as well. As a mom of two young daughters, I can't even imagine what it would be like... I am so deeply sorry for your loss and will never forget.

To the family, and friends of Spc. Dustin J. Harris, my deepest, deepest symapthy for your loss. I've recenty become aware, that Dustin's funeral will be a target of protest for the Westboro Babtist Church. I have absolutly no affiliation with them, and feel negatively about them and their "cause", but i would like to appologize for their actions. It is completely unjust, unfair, and unethic. They have absolutly no right to be there. My deepest sympathy for you. May Jesus be with you through your time of struggle.
