  • Dear Chaplain, I was so glad to meet you on May 10th, 2007 during the Family Day/Turning Blue Ceremony. My son Brian Drake (306) shared your testimony with me, you have made a lasting impression on him. Thank you from my heart for the Webshot Photos that kept me "in touch" with B Co. 2-58th. Your work at Ft. Benning has blessed my life; as well as his dads, his two brothers, his three grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. Thank you for Serving Our God and Our Country. Sincerely, Laura Hoisington

Iwas windering if I could ask you a few questions. If you wouldn't mind my e-mail is b.d.tucker@hotmail.com.

  • Chaplain Rusack, Thank you is not enough to say. You have been a blessing to the soldiers family and friends; thank you so much for the website!! I look at the pics (my son is in a few:))and see the boys turning into men before our eyes. We get to know the wonderful people that will be a part of our lives for many years to come. You have brought peace, joy, and so much comfort - you are AWESOME! We are praying your journey-safe, your family-comforted and your lives richly blessed! I know the soldiers will miss you as we will. God Bless you and your family as he takes you to another arena of your life. He will continue to use you for his purpose and that is a true comfort for all of us. My husband and I will be there soon and hopefully we will get to meet you in person before you depart.

  • I was looking for pictures of my husband, he's in Fort Knox, I'm not even sure if that's where you are or not. But if you are, he's in the 3rd PLT Bravo Company... PVT Napier, Bryan. If you happen to know him by any chance, please let him know his wife and kids miss him SO SO SO much! Try to sneak a picture, the kids would love to see him!

  • Dear Chaplain, I just wanted to thank you again for your efforts in maintaining this website and giving us something to look forward to everyday. When this new journey began for me I was at a total loss and did not think that I could maintain any sanity not knowing from one day to the next what my son was doing or had gotten into. With your photos and everyone's daily posts I can say that I am at ease and know he is ok. Without this site I know that wouldn't be the case. I read on the F co site that this website may be taken down and I find that very discouraging. As for you, I am sad to know that you will be leaving and so close to our graduation date. I feel sad that I will not get to meet you and tell you thanks in person. Please know that you are going to be missed tremendously. Thanks for everything you have done and I wish you and your family the best. Maybe someone will take over and we can have our awesome Honor Hill pictures. Susie, proud mom of PVT Thomas Folmar #115..C Company Grad April 27th.

  • Dear Chaplain, thank you so much for this site. I'm rarely at a loss for words, but it seems that I don't have words eloquent enough to express my appreciation and the horror I feel about the site perhaps not continuing. It is here that I have forged connections of support and conduits of information. I've been able to maintain a small feeling of participation in the daily life of my young (17) son by seeing what these young men are doing. I quickly came to the conclusion that I was in no way losing a son; I was gaining an extended Army family. That may sound hokey, but it's real. My son loves it when I send copies of the pictures to him and requests multiples so he can share. I have no idea what objection there would be to maintaining the site, but I also don't know how much of your time and energies it takes in care and feeding. Selfishly, having seen the Honor Hill pictures of other Companies, I will mourn for the loss of Charlie Co, Apr 07 pictures of that goosebump event. I'm so sorry I won't be able to meet you at graduation. Thank you for standing up for our site, and I hope it was a fast healing flesh wound (falling on your sword. I hope your next post is a good fit for you and your family. Thank you again, Tinker Iddins, proud Mom of my C CO Guardian of Freedom, PV2 Cole Ackley, #101

  • Dear Chaplain: Words can't express the apprecation for what you have done for our young men. Thank you so much for posting pictures. For us they came in the right time. My son #446 Matthew J. Torres is my oldest son my husband and I have three boys. When my son told us about going into the Army it was a done deal As a mother my heart hurts But we support him 150% May the Lord truly bless you for all you have done for our troops. Thank you again :) from a very very proud parents of Matthew J. Torres

  • Hello to "Chaptain Rusack" Wanda here trying to recover from the ceremonies. I really can't thank you enough for your service to our country & to our men. Incredible that I got to meet you! Now you & your family will continue to be in our thoughts & prayers. If you read this keep my email in case you need to send info or news from Ft.Campbell. Several guys I met are with the 101st Air Assault and are training with Paul in Airborne (march 30th graduation) So I will be back to Benning and will make my pleas again to keep the site going and we will give our support to whomever continues the site. God Bless you & your family. Hugs,Wanda Simons, proud Mom of our American soldiers. Hooah (amen)
