"Unknown to stranger who may just read
A write to one who would believe
That he was born to do much more
Serving another in time of war
Young man of age but wise in years
Would fall to battle as father feared
For life, his blood of loin so young
Would come to rest with Heavens Son
His name JJ, best known as Doc
Became one more, special of flock
Serving country and fellow man
By choice landing on foreign land
Like angel he'd descend upon
From sky by chute, soldier took on
Family not his, children whose needs
Became his own, he'd intercede
School where five of innocence
Became 250 as much persistence
Would pave the way to educate
Before passing, before his mates
Soldier where dreams of his became
A wish all his where loss births pain
But in his passing he too would leave
A better place in heart conceived
There are but few who would give life
Serving mankind in war where strife
Becomes too much to just sit back
Watching the teli, deaths toll new facts
A man once boy would bring much change
Though some may view how war estranged
A local boy, why would he go
If Doc could he'd tell you so
Remember one who gave freedom
Remember son whose heart would lead him
To a place where it's foretold
A place where peace not war, GOD holds
Pte Jeff 'JJ' Doherty aka Doc
Killed in an ambush on June 12th 2008

More than just a boy, a son who served
a purpose and became one with the Lord

"Just a thank you for all the support that is on going! I served with Doc in Gib and am currently deployed again. We are receiving your parcels and are extremely grateful for all that you do. We have no return address to thank you in writing so this is our best solution. There are a few lads in my lot receiving your parcels and again are very grateful and would like to send their thanks to all involved as i do.

"We owe all our service men and women past and present a debt of gratitude that we can never repay, except to vow that we will remember their sacrifices forever and a day, that our childrens children and their childrens children will speak their names forever more. Soldeirs like JJ are all Heroes who now walk with all other Heroes that have gone before them, their names have been entered onto that list of Heroes that dates from time immemorial to the end of days. We salute them all as we do their families for the sacrifices they have made."
