God Bless You and Keep You SPC Hughes. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who knew you.

I've known Jere for 18 years. We grew up together, and he was a brother to me. Jere died fighting for what he believed in. He had a warrior's spirit and the kind of grim determination to always get the job done no matter what. I've always said that if I have to go into combat again, I would want HIM beside me. You could always count on Jere. I will miss him and ALWAYS remember him.

Rest in Peace Soldier. God grant peace & comfort to the family of SPC Hughes.

May God bless this family now and always.

I am so sorry for the loss of this fine young man and your HERO Spc Jeremiah C Hughes. I lost my son in Iraq on May 6/2007, so I can well understand your pain of losing a loved one so dear.

I pray you will continue to be guided by a higher power to give you peace, comfort and strength.

Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
GOD Bless you and your family. Your soldier was a true American Hero and we are all very proud of his service. He will not be forgotten!

3rd Platoon A Company 1-21 infantry battalion lost a great friend and soldier. Those of us who had the privilege of working with him everyday will miss him dearly. God be with his family and fellow soldiers. You will be missed here in hawaii. I speak for all of the soldiers on rear d when i say that the man will be missed.

Miller and myself(bullock) will hopefully be there in may/june time frame.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends

I was in the same squad as Jerry in OIF II, I have a few good pictures of Jerry having fun during our first tour if the family is interested, just email me at kamoczygemba@yahoo.com. He was a great fella, very brave and funny, but his best quality was knowing how to get under someone's skin, that was some of the best entertainment we had that year. You will be missed Jerry.

Our prayers go out to the Hughes family. May Jeremiah's memories live in your hearts forever.
