To the Family and Loved Ones of Sgt. John K. Daggett: "I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom"......Abraham Lincoln. It is with deepest sadness that I offer my condolences to you on the loss of your Hero, who gave all in the fight for freedom from tyranny for the people of Iraq, and in the defense of his brothers and our grateful nation. Sgt. Daggett will not be forgotten. Respectfully, a proud father of a G Co 3/2SCR Stryker.

To the Family, friends and fellow soldiers working alongside SGT Daggett I pray the Good Lord gives you the strength, at just the right moment, going on until you meet Kyle again. Dear SGT John K Daggett, thank you for your selfless bravery, "There is no greater love than to lay dolwn one's life for one's friends" John 15:13. You will always be remembered!

I just want to extend my heartfelt condolences to the Daggett family at this time. I can only imagine the grief this family is going through and I hope they can take some comfort in knowing that the whole 1-14 2-25 family mourns along with them. God be with them and give them strength.

I am so sorry for the loss of this fine young man and your HERO Sgt John K Daggett. 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!

To the family, friends, and fellow comrades of SGT Dagget--My heart goes out to all who knew Kyle. May you each be blessed with peace and comfort at this difficult time, and in the days and months ahead as well. My son is also serving with the 2-25 SBCT in Iraq right now, so my heart breaks that we have lost another Warrior.
