Fearless / Jody Carpenter (Cousin)
My memories of Craig are as a very young boy.  I fist met him before he was 2.  My uncle had brought his family from Kansas to meet us.  Craig was a beautiful little boy with the biggest brown eyes that could make you melt.  Because he was so young he could not speak in complete sentences yet and he was into everything.  You know those "terrible two's".  My mom was getting after him all the time and everytime she did he would wave his fists and stomp and shout (god only knows what he was saying).  After a while we would just get after him for anything because it was funny to watch him act like he was a big man telling you off.  I remember thinking, look out world because this little guy is fearless. After I started my own family I drifted apart from my cousin and my aunt and uncle.  They were always good to me.   After seeing what they have been through in the last few weeks I see why they had such an awesome son.  They are strong, courageous people.  They just like their fearless son are hero's.  You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

Thank you to Craig and Deepest Condolences to his family.  / Michael Kilpela (Appreciative Citizen )

There are no words that can take away the pain of loss of such a young life.  On behalf of my family, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Craig's family as they deal with all of the emotions that come at a time like this.  I know, we've been where you are.  I am also grateful to all of the young men that enlist in the military to serve our great country.  Marines are a special breed of individuals.  You will find none finer.  May God comfort you in your time of grief, and may His love surround you as you face all of the firsts that are before you.  Craig now guards the streets of heaven, along with all of the other brother Marines and other soldiers that have gone before.

Thank you to a Great guy!!  / Amy Fox (Freind from High School )
Craig was a great guy who will never be forgotten.  I was a friend of Craig's and also threw shot and disk with him during track seasons.  Both of my brothers (Tim and Austin) also played football with him.  He was a great guy and a TON of fun.  He was a brave guy and will be honored and missed greatly.  My prayers go out to the family and other friends who lives he touched.  Thank you Craig!!!

I am so grateful for men like your son  / Gabriel Enderle (passerby)
There's nothing that I can say to ease your pain, but please know that your son did not die in vain.  This country is extremely grateful for his sacrafice and service.  As a widow of a soldier, I know this too.  Craig paid the ultimate price for freedom and he is a hero.  I will pray for your family and friends who mourn Craig and I will pray for Craig as well.  This Christmas is going to be so hard, trust me I know, but I hope you take the prayers and thoughts with you and they may be of some comfort to you.  God bless you and God bless America always.  Thank you for your son.

With heartfelt sympathy  / Karen (simply a mother with a son who has gone to Iraq twice )

Adequate words fail me and for that I am truly sorry.  But the depth of your loss cannot be measured by the words written here. 
But know this.......
America would not be the land of the free if it weren't also the home of the brave.
