I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful, brave son, husband and father. He sounds like a wonderful person. I am sure he is watching over you all from heaven. I pray for you all and all the soldiers and their families. God bless you. Jesus watch over you.

The National Organization of Medics and Corpmen wish to express our deepest thoughts and prayers for a fellow Doc and his family.

MEDIC, CORPSMAN, DOC

I have served in every battle
Our Country has fought
I was there on the air, land, sea
Serving our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines
Not asking for glory
Preserving the fighting strength

I went when asked to go
In war and in times of peace
I was there to give aid to all
Whether friend or foe
Heart filled with joy helping to give birth;
To the agony of trying to save a friend

I have laughed and cried
Even wet my pants in fear
Running to the calls for help
Patching wounds and giving encouraging words
My hope for others who will follow
In future battles will come to know

You'll always be loved by others
'Cause you were their
Medic, Corpsman, and Doc

Kerry "Doc" Pardue
National Jr Vice Commander, Medics & Corpsmen

I had the privilege of meeting Nathan through my sons. They played football together for the Queen Creek High School Bulldogs. My sons looked up to him and have fond memories of him training both of them to take his place as center on the team after he graduated. They thought he had the "coolest" old truck in town! In listening to the conversations of the young men who new him kind, tough, smart, great ball player and good friend were some of the words used to describe this young man. I know a class mate of his that was considered "slow" by his peers and had few friends but Nathan always made him feel like an equal and never judged him as others had. When this young man learned of Nathen's passing he locked himself in his bedroom and didn't come out for nearly 24 hours. He then told me that Nathan was always kind to him, treated him as an equal, and that he would always remember him. It says alot about the character of a popular young man that will take the time to notice the kid with very few friends. I can still see the Bulldogs taking the field in purple and gold, facing the United States Flag with hands over their hearts during the National Anthem before each game. Nathan played hard under that flag in High School and later gave his life for it. Thank you Nathan for your noble sacrifice! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Warmest Regards,
Mother of the Reidhead Boys
Queen Creek, Arizona
