Name: Stan Hanneman Location: netherlands Comments: The soldier stood and faced his God, which must always come to pass, He hoped his shoes were shining just as bright as his brass, " Step forward now you soldier, how should I deal with you?" " Have you always turned the other cheek, to my church have you been true ?" The soldier squard his shoulders and said," No Lord I guess I ain't," Cause those of us that carry guns can't always be saint, But I never took a penny that wasn't my to keep, Though I worked alot of overtime when the bills got to steep, I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear, And Lord forgive me, I've wept unmanly tears, Lord I know I don't deserve a place among the people here, They never wanted me around, except to calm their fear, Lord if you have a place for me here it needn't be so grand, I never wanted or expected much, if you don't I understand, " Step forward now you soldier, you have worne your burdens well, Walk peacefully on heaven's streets, you have done your time in hell." Respectfully Name: Sherri Location: Fort Wainwright Comments: Watching this video truly broke my heart today. What an amazingingly beautiful child Payton is.

I come from a VERY long line of Marines, in fact a total somewhere along the lines of 350 years "Combined" service time, and I have family and friends over there as I write this but I know the Good Lord is watching over them just as I know he is holding our fallen in his loving arms.

I can only say Thank You to a hero like Bobby and to countless others like him whose sacrifices are never fully realized and appreciated by many of the citizens of the country they defend and fight for.

Name: Kevin Quinn Location: Meridian, Idaho Comments: To the Warn Family, and extended family members! On the last day of 2007, I had the opportunity to visit your memorial webpage for your son, Bobby. Thank you for a brief walk in Bobby's life, your lives and the lives of those who loved him. I'm sure that even after three years of losing him - you still miss him every day. I can't begin to understand your grief, nor will I try to. As a Marine, who served during 1987-1991 and got out in June of 91', I can tell you this. Bobby has a great family in you and all of his close loved ones; but Bobby still to this day - has his Marine Corps family. A family of men and women who served before, during or after Bobby's military career. A family that shares blood, sweat and tears together; defending our shores! As a Marine, you're dedication to service is unmatched by any other branch of service. Your dedication to your Corps, and the friends and family within the Marine Corps family does not waiver. Please know that even three years later, I share in your loss and wish you nothing but joy and happiness until you're able to walk with Bobby again. He's in good hands, with our Lord and Savior - preparing to greet you all with open arms, tears of joy and return the same love that you have held so dearly for him. I truly wish you all joy and happiness and thank you again, for a brief walk through Bobby's life. Take care and God Bless!

He has since went full time into the Marines and is currently deployed to Iraq. He is stationed in Camp Lejuene NC. 2/24 did do some training there this summer, and Lee met up with dome of the Marines from 2/24. Our youngest son Erik, is also a Marine and is stationed at 29 Palms, CA. One of his High School buddies is with 2/24, and they have been training at 29 Palms.

Name: Megan Nowak Location: Indiana Comments: On this day my loving, creative, artistic, living life to its fullest, overall fantstic more than great cousin entered a new life and changed the lives of many. Because of Bobby I realize how important it is to appreciate something before it goes and sadly I didn't do that for Booby. The last time I said good by to him at the time I looked up to him like a super hero. I thought that he was invincible so I thought that for sure he would come back and we would go on with our lives. But I believe that everything happens for a reason and that Bobby entered heaven so then we would become a closer family and learn to appreciate our wonderful lives better. Ever since Bobby has left us he inspired me to live life to its fullest. I had always been worrying for the then and the future and looking back at the past, but because of him I have learned how to live that moment a charish it along with all the other moments. Bobby thank you for all that you have given me. You have given me courage, bravery, appreciation and many other things, but even though I thank you for these things I still miss you terribly. I wish I had one last chance to say goodbye, I would do anything for that chance. I think about you every day and pray to you that someday I will get to see you again and that day is coming soon for your daughter is sooo much like you. I see alot of you in her. Thank you for also sending part of you to us so then we can still charish you. Thank you for you daughter Peyton.

God Bless you and yours Name: Jim Wagner Location: Indianapolis, IN Comments: Corporal Warns II is forever in my thoughts and prayers as are all of the Marine brothers and sisters that have fallen in battle. My heart breaks that he never got to see his little girl, but hopefully she will see this, and know that her daddy was something special - and that because of him, we are all lifted a little higher. Marines take care of our own - and that certainly includes our families and friends. Semper Fi DevilDog - God be with all of you!

Linda Australia Name: Adam Location: Texas Comments: I was that which others did not want to be. I went where others feared to go, and did what others failed to do. I asked nothing from those who gave nothing, and reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness... should I fail. I have seen the face of terror, felt the stinging of cold fear; and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moment's love. I have cried, pained, and hoped... but most of all, I have lived times others would say were best forgotten At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was....

Name: Song Ran Location: Nanjing, China Comments: 2 days ago, I saw the funeral`s video of Bobby. In that video, I saw Bobby`s families, friends, and I also heard their words for Bobby in his funeral. 2 days have gone, almost every minute I can see Bobby`s face, just like he is standing in front of me--although we have never met before, even we did not know each other`s existences in this planet before, I still cannot believe that Bobby, a man who is so young, handsonm, so good and honest, actually has been dead already. I am... I am really sorry to convince me of this cruel factor... and I really want to tell his families--"Thank you, thank you so much for giving us such a outstanding people. Thank you very much." I am going to your country and studying there, I hope in the future I can have a chance to go to your city , see Bobby`s families, and, our hero--Cpl. Robert P. Warns II of the United States Marine Corps. Please forgive me because English is not my mother tongue. I might not express myself very well or in a proper way. Again, thank you very much.

Name: James Location: Ann Arbor, MI Comments: Dear Warns Family, I've never met your family and stumbled across your son's memorial video online. I am headed to Office Candidate School this summer so I lead and be inspired by upstanding men like your son. A lot of people ask me why I want to go into the military and why I want to be a Marine more than anything else. It is hard to say why, exactly, and I do not know what your son's reasons were. But your son is one of mine. May God bless you all, especially Payton. --James Name: Sandy O'Keefe (maiden name Blaszynski) Location: Waukesha, WI Comments: As a 1997 Graduate of CMH I happened to come across this site in a search - I am so blessed to have stumbled across such a touching tribute.

He is a TRUE HERO and OUTSTANDING Role Model!!!! God Bless! Name: Mason Ray Location: Baltimore, MD Comments: I never knew Bobby, nor the family, or even friends. I was forwarded his YOUTUBE video by a friend on 9-11. I couldn't get through it without shedding tears. It reminded me of my wife's grandfather who passed away 2 months ago...he was in the Navy and the lone still-living survivor of Pearl Harbor who belonged to the VFW in Maryland. He was honored with a 21 gun salute, the whole nine yards. He did not die in combat, just of old age. This video made me think that if he had died at Pearl Harbor, that I would have never married bis beautiful granddaughter, who is 8 months pregnant as I write this. Your son was a man, a hero, a bright spot in a world full of craziness. I hope that one day, I will have the courage that he did. I will pray for your family as much as I can. I am, like many others I'm sure, who feel you pain, even though we have never met. Your son is watching over you, and is by your side. May God bless your family and friends, and all others who have grieved over your sons death. He was, and is a true American hero. Mason Ray Baltimore, MD Name: Lcpl Adcock. Kevin M. Location: MCAS Bueafort South Carolina Comments: First off I am sorry for his loss. I am very proud to serve in the same Corps as Bobby. I did not know him personally but from watching the video i feel connected to him. I will be heading to Iraq in March of 2008 and i know the Marines on deck, Marines in heaven and Bobby will be watching myself and my unit. I can't express the chills and how close to home the video is. From myself and all the Marines of VMFA 115 we shout out a Big OORAH to Cpl. Robert P. Warns II. Semper FI. LCPL Adcock.

Overfelt Adam B USMC Location: roanoke va Comments: I just found this tonight, and am very thankfull to have seen it. I was in Iraq from may-03-nov03 then again from feb-04 to feb-05 and I was there nov. the 8th when we went back to fallujia and i remeber all the people who made the ultimate sacrifice. and I prayed everytime i seen purple smoke or seen a chopper with the red cross. I was stationed at the Balad airbase where all the maine surgery takes place, and everyday I would get about 100 choclate cookies or whatever snacks i could steal from the chowhall and take it to the wounded Marines and I even sat there while day in and out Marines and Soliders were losing the battle they fought so hard in.

Secondly I would like to say "Thank you" to you and your family for sharing this video and this page with everyone, it is plain to see where your son's dedication and graceful spirit came from.

I have now added this video to that daily ritual. Though I never met your son, I feel that he is a part of me, a part of all who can wake up to the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy.
