I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Jarrid will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

I would have liked to have known Jarrid and to have thanked him in person for his service to our country and for keeping us safe here at home. God Bless,

To all who loved Jarrid: thank you for your family's sacrifice. We didn't know your hero, but we lost our own soldier and son in Iraq in 2008. He too had been stationed at Fort Drum (2002-2005) with the 10th Mtn Division. From one proud Gold Star family to another, may God grant you His peace. Rest well, Jarrid. Well done, soldier. Well done. God bless America, land of the free because of the BRAVE.

Im so sorry for your loss, I remember running into Jarrid over the summer at the very end of his leave. He told me stories about fighting over seas and the way he told them I could tell he was very proud of what he was doing.

To the family of Jarrid Lee King:

I wish I could take away your pain, but unfortunately I cannot. I just hope that your family realizes the ultimate sacrifice that your son paid for this country did not go unnoticed. Each and every one of these young men that defend our country is a hero. God bless you and your family at this very sorrowful time.

Dear King Family, though I was not close with Jarrid, I did go to school with him. He was such a sweet kid, and was one of the few people at Harborcreek that treated me with respect, and could always bring a smile to my face. My thoughts are with you all at this difficult time. <3

Jarrid was an amazing young kid, and turned into and even more amazing young man. Growing up with Jarrid, hanging out with him and the boys everyday was one of my most memorable, greatest childhood memories. He always talked about joining the military to make a career out of it doing something he loved. To the King family: No parent, or sibling should have to endure something such as this. Deepest sympathies to the family. Miss you JJ.

I will see you again, I will see you again, a long time from now.

Jarrid was an amazing kid, and grew into an even more amazing young man. Growing up with Jarrid and, hanging out with him and the boys everyday will always be one of my best childhood memories. He would always talk about the military and how he wanted to make a career out of it, not just go in because he wasn't capable of doing anything else. He truly is a hero, and the ultimate american soldier. To the King family: No parent, or sibling should have to go through something such as this. Deepest sympathies go out to the family.

I do not know Jarrid or his family, but please accept my very deepest sympathies for the loss of Jarrid. May he rest in peace, he truly deserves it.

STSCS(SS) Sid Busch USN(RET)

I saw a soldier kneeling down,
for this was the first quiet place he had found.
He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud.
His hands were scared and toil-warned.

He folded his hands and looked to the sky...
I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes.
He spoke to God, and this is what he said.
God Bless my men, who now lie dead;

I know not what You have in mind,
but when You judge, please be kind....
when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed
but will walk proudly, for they have done their best.

Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn...
but these clothes they have so proudly worn.
Their hearts will be still and cold inside,
for they have fought their best and did so with pride.

So please take care of them as they pass Your way...
the price of freedom they've already paid.
~Unknown
