Condolence to the Wright Family. I remember him as a cadet in Georgia Southern University. Always the good soldier and never fail to help others. A kid with a good head on his shoulders. You will be missed buddy. I was saddened to learn of your passing. I was browsing through the news when I saw your familiar face. Be with the angels man, godspeed!

Dear Family,
I wanted to reach out to you to say that I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know you, nor did I know Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright; I, like many other Americans, only know of him from what I unfortunately heard of his death. I won't claim to know the grief you all are personally feeling from losing your loved one. I only know what it's like to lose someone you love. You see, I lost my mother two years ago next month. It still hurts like the moment I was told she was gone. So I can only imagine the pain you all are feeling this very moment. I know personally that a loss like this is a wound that will never heal, but will be easier to endure over time. pray that you all will someday find the peace and closure you so rightfully deserve. I will pray for you. I will continue to send my love and will forever be eternally grateful for Staff Sgt. Wright's service and to your entire family. From the Thomas family, we thank you! God bless you all.

I am "Grandmother Sue", Dustin's dad's mom. Thank you for your message to us. Sorry for your loss of your mom. Dustin would want us all to be happy. I remember his big hugs. I'd say, "Dustin, you are so tall." He would always answer, "Grandmother, I have not gotten taller!" What a precious, handsome, blue-eyed guy he was.

Dear Family, l am so sorry for your loss. I know that you are grieving. But, I know that you are so proud of Dustin. He was such a brave young man and his accomplishments were awesome. He had a love for his country and all of its citizens. He died fighting for both. I thank you sweet Dustin for your service. I thank you for your love and respect of the USA. War is an evil force. But you became a Green Beret knowing the danger that you faced. I thank your parents for raising an honorable young man. A young man who fought for our country and our freedom. Death came too early for you. You will never be forgotten. I didn't have the privilege of meeting you, but I love your family. I salute you and I thank you for your faithful dedication to our country. Rest In Peace, dear Dustin. I send prayers to your family who are grieving for you. God bless all of you.
