One more thing, I finally got the chance to go to New Orleans, and you were right, there's no place like it. Infact, I ended up marrying somebody I met there. So, I should thank you, if it weren't for you I may have never had any interest in LA, and would have never met my husband. I knew you were a great friend!! I miss and love you.

Hey Charles,
I used to have so much fun talking to you, or rather, you giving me a hard time when I would be talking to David. You were such a good friend to him, and you are missed so much. You had one of the greatest personalities, you always made me laugh. I know that one day we'll all get together again. I just can't believe it's already been 9 years. I will never forget you.

I still clearly remember the day I received a phone call while I was stationed at Bolling Air Force Base Wash D.C. from a friend at Al-Jaber saying Chuck and David crashed their Hummer and passed away. I was so hurt by this news. I had just left Al-Jaber in late Sept.98, and was very close with both Chuck and Dave. I remember working long, hot 12-14 hour days with these two heroes on the base and at the Kuwait City Air Port. I will never forget all the fun we had. Chuck and I along with other soldiers became very close, we played basketball, volleyball, boxed, lifted weights and had a great time. He was a great athlete, and a wonderful friend. I only knew Chuck and Dave for 4-months of my life, however I will never forget them till the day I die. I miss (You's) both very much (that's Jersey slang) they would get it. And God Bless your Family and Friends.

I was the permanent duty First Sergeant assigned to Al Jaber the day Airmen Campbell and Schroeder passed away. It was a very difficult day and even weeks that followed. To lose not just one but two troopers in one day is devestating. They put themselves in harms way and paid the ultimate price so we could be free. That must never be forgotten. God Bless his family and friends.

I was deployed to Al Jaber Air Base when this tragedy happened. It was a very sad day and one that those of us who were there will never forget. Airman Schroeder and Airman Campbell answered the call of duty and selflessly went into in harms way. They left the comforts of home and traveled to a far away land to preserve our precious freedom. It is because of them and others like them that we live in such a great country. I think of them from time to time and always will. God Bless Them.

On this date that dreadful day years ago you made the ultimate sacrifice. I too was a K9 handler with the SP's from 1995-1999 and then continued my career in LE in the civilain sector. God speed my freinds and remember you will never be forgotten.

I was TDY to Al Jaber and working the morning that Dave and Chuck were killed. That was the darkest day of my 7 year career thus far. They were both great kids that everyone liked. You guys are sorely missed by all defenders. We will all join you again someday.
