"Mr. and Mrs. Posey I'm extremely sorry for your loss. Greg was a good friend of mine. Greg was one of the funnest people I have ever met. He was always happy and a great person. Sometimes life isn't fair and we all ask the question why...but I know for a fact that Greg made a lot of people laugh and touched a lot of hearts, he sure got my attention. I feel lucky to have known such an amazing person. As a Marine, myself, I understand his sacrifice and acknowledge what a hero he is. He will be greatly missed. Your entire family has all my thoughts and prayers."

"May God hold you in his loving arms and give you comfort. Your son is a true hero. Thank you for raising a son willing to die for our freedom. God bless you and your family"

"to all that loved him, i wish there were words that i could say to ease your pain. But i cant find them. There is no way to express the pain that you are feeling, but know that you are in the hearts of all Americans. He knew he was apart of something bigger then himself, for a young man to discover this is a great thing. He served proudly, and i will honer him the same. There is no greater pain then to see a Marines Rifle in the dirt, but we honer them by staying the course, and to keep moving foward. LCpl Gregory Posey will now stand his post among other Marines at heavens gates, who fought so bravely upon the field of battle. I do not know you or your son, but i know he was a Marine, and for that you and he have my highest respect, and my love.

"My deepest appreciation to Greg and his family for his ultimate sacrifice for our personal safety and freedom. Above all that, our community participated and observed absolute respect for our military and their families.

Luke now has a better understanding of mankind caring for it's own. Thank you, Greg, for your service to our great country!"

Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true? The Marine squared his shoulders said, no Lord, I guess I ain't, Because those of us who carry guns, can't always be saints I've had to work most Sundays and at times my talk was tough And sometimes I've been violent because the world is awfully rough But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got just too steep And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear and sometimes, God forgive me I wept unmanly tears I know I don't deserve a place Among the people here They never wanted me around except to calm their fears If you have a place for me here, Lord It needn't be so grand I never expected or had to much But if you don't, I'll understand There was silence all around the throne Where the saints had often trod As the Marine waited quietly for the judgment of his God Step forward now; youve borne your burdens well Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets You've done your time in Hell. May God comfort you all druing this time of sorrow. HOORAH!"

"Thank you, Greg, for your service to our country. When I saw your photo in the paper when you deployed, I beamed from ear to ear to see the transformation from that mischievous teenager I taught in class to such a distinguished-looking, brave young Marine. Delma and Steve, words cannot begin convey my symphathy. You raised a fine young man."

"Delma, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know Greg's life was given for our country, and it is a very honorable sacrifice that he has made. I hope this will be of some comfort to you and your family, but it will still be a very difficut thing to overcome. My prayers are with you and your family. I pray that God will give you and yours the comfort and peace that you need, as well as allow you to gain strength in your heats and minds as you have such a great burden to carry. May God be with you all. Mary"

"I am so very sorry for your great loss. Greg was a wonderful person. Delma our thoughts and prayers are with you and Chris and Steve. I Know you are so proud of Greg as everyone is. Our family is praying for you and yours. Dianna, Benny, Tony & Charlie"

"Thank you for your service Greg. If it was not for your service in the Marines our country would not be free."

"I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family."

"I am so sorry to hear about Greg. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Greg wrestled with my son Jonathan in high school. He always gave it his all and I know you are so very proud of him. Again my prayers are with you. God Bless"
