It is with sincere sadness that I extend my condolences to you on the loss of your American Hero, who paid the ultimate price in the pursuit of freedom for the people of Iraq, and the defense of his brothers and our grateful nation. SPC. Pickering is to be remembered as a Hero, to have volunteered to go where sent and to face unknown danger in a land far from home in the service to our country. He will not be forgotten, and you will be remembered daily in my prayers. A Proud G Co 3/2SCR Stryker Dad. gdb626@hotmail.com
