Hi John,

We spent the weekend camping on the beaches of Normandy (actually just off the cliffs). I shot nearly 1,000 pictures this weekend, and thought I would send a few to you. One is from the American cemetery…you can see the water in the background. I am also sending a couple other pictures from the cliffs at Pointe Du Hoc (where the Airborne came in) and  the memorial at Omaha Beach. One shows how big the craters are from the bombs of WWII, demonstrated by the way it engulfs my son.

 Letter sent to the families of 2 fallen Wisconsin soldiers by their Commanding Officer:

Dear Fox Families and Friends,
 
Yesterday, Fox Company lost two fine young men, Corporal Richard
Nelson and Lance Corporal Dean Opicka.  Both were killed in action
by a roadside improvised explosive device.  A third Marine, Lance
Corporal David Doyle was wounded, currently hospitalized and in good
condition.  I saw him today.  He is in good spirits and
expected to make a full recovery. 
  
Understandably, I write this email with sadness and looking for
the "right" words to say.  This feeling permeates through the
entire company, and I'm sure, through the entire Fox Family.

I can say that Rick and Dean were extraordinarily well liked by
all.  They were hardworking and loyal to their brother Marines. 
They have traits and qualities that other Marines aspire to have, and
through daily contact with them, often did. 
 
Rick always had a quick smile and a sincere concern for the welfare
of the Marines in his platoon.  As a vehicle commander, he always
ensured that his vehicle and crew were ready for any and all
contingencies that may arise.  He ensured that his crew were ever
watchful, ever vigilant of the dangers that lurk ahead.

Dean was a quiet Marine, notorious for his extremely hard
working ethic.  He never complained, never failed.  His
tireless energy was an inspiration to all.  He was dependable,
intelligent and caring.  He also looked out for his vehicle crew
and did so until the very end.
 
Throughout the recovery period, their brother Marines stood a
constant vigil.  They guarded them through the night and into the
morning.  They would allow no other harm, ill thought or errant
word, to befall their brothers.  Their minds and hearts were
consoled by the fact that their brothers passed without
suffering.

Altough this is a difficult time for the Marines in the company,
we fully understand what we must do.  We will continue our
mission.  We will continue the day to day cycle of life of an
infantry unit in Iraq. And when the time comes, the Marines will
grieve, as Marines do, in the presence of each other.  We will
embrace and celebrate the lives of Rick and Dean.  We will tell
stories of their antics and we will laugh.  We will reminisce
about the times they did this, or they did that, and smile.  And
when the grieving is done, we will place them safely in our hearts and
protect them.  They will come home with us, in spirit. 
Until that time, I firmly believe that they will guide us from
above.  They will be part of our lives forever.
 
My heart, prayers and thoughts are with the wife, parents and family
of Corporal Richard Nelson and the fiancé, parents and family of
Lance Corporal Dean Opicka.

May God bless them, the Fox Family and Fox Company

Thank for your continued support of our Armed Forces.

Best Regards

Wes
