I don't remember you, my brother, because I was only 2 years old.

But I have pictures of us together and the stuffed animal lamb you bought for me the day I was born.

And most importantly I have you forever in my heart.

You were a proud and handsome Marine and always will be.

Rest well, my brother.

Always
Your baby sister

Well, my brother, here we are so many years later. I haven't been able to do this because it hurts too much. Mom joined you in '97, well now Dad is there too. So close to your day - March 15. I hope you all had a huge reunion. Take good care of him for me. As always, Dear Ronnie, you are my hero, well now you have my moon and my sun there with you as well. I love you, Ronnie...

Hey Uncle Ronnie!

Uncle Ronnie, I want you to know that I love and I miss you very much!

Hope you know all this! I'm your niece Janet Nachelle! I'm sure you know who I am! I love you so much, Uncle Ronnie! I wish you were here! Mommy misses you a lot to. I don't know much about you. I've seen pictures and I heard your voice! I wish I knew more about you! It's gonna be hard but I'm gonna try to see what I can learn so I know you better! If you were here with me right now I probably be bugging you to take me out for ice cream or if you still had your motorcycle I would ask for you to take me for a ride!

I got to go now. I love you very much!

love
your niece
Janet Nachelle

Always Faithful

An Echo of Honor
A "Lesson" once Learned
A strong Pillar of strength
Speechless admiration, eternally earned

The Echo of Bravery
That Thunders the call
A light in the darkness
A "Hero" to all

The Echo of Valor
That few could attain
The true meaning of Brother
That Echo's your name

An Echo of Family
Two Words, "Semper Fi"
Where your're never forgotten
For whom you laid down your Life

An Echo of Silence
At what You have done
Saved some Brother's Brother
A Mom's only Son

Echo, You Echoed
In Dad's tender voice
Your Courage the "Lesson"
He taught both his boys

Echo, You Echo in all that is Good
Where most said they wouldn't
You said, "You Would"

Snowflakes in Summer
And Winter's warm rain
Where Echo's are Magic
And silence the pain

Echo, You Echo in My life today
My debt of Freedom, the "Gift"
The price of Freedom, you paid....

Written for Ronnie Lee Eckenroad "Echo" ... Written for the difference that "Echos" in all the lives that are made eternally better by you. Written by Tommy D. Hill, Jr., for his Father, Tommy D. Hill, Sr., who served with Ronnie in Viet Nam.
