I don't know what to say...when you called me and told me you were going to afghanistan and some of what else you told me, I knew you were going to be in danger. I prayed for you but I guess my prayers didntt work. i hope that you found God, Jacob...you are such an excellent musician and a good person, not fake or anything. Finding out today has been like a nightmare...you will be missed, and NEVER forgotten. -Sara-

I am very sorry for the loss of this fine young man! Will be keeping him and his family in my Thoughts and Prayers.

Your bravery and honor will not go unnoticed. You along with many other soldiers deserve recognition for the service you have provided for America. May your strength live on with the soldiers who continue to fight.
