It is always sad to see a fellow service member pass. I never met Mr. Hedges, but I do know his grandaughter Elizabeth Rooney, and through her I know Mr. Hedges left this world a better place than he found it. God speed, Mr. Hedges, and thank you for your service. Rasmtein, – Other – Germany

To the family of Herbert Hedges please accept my sincere condolence. Although IÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢ve never met Mr. Hedges, IÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢m very grateful for at least two of his high achievements. At a time when much of the world was tired of military service, IÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢m grateful he answered the ArmyÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢s call and reminded us that Freedom is not free. IÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢m also grateful he passed that sense of duty on to his granddaughter, Elizabeth Rooney. I have the pleasure to work with TSgt Rooney and as she often does to all who work with her, I too am inspired by her sense of duty and willingness to answer her nationÃ?Æ?Ã?¢Ã?â??ââ??¬Ã?â??ââ??¢s call. We in the Air Force are faithful to a proud heritage; it is obvious that Liz is faithful to two proud heritages.With much sympathy,Jeff Wilmoth Ramstein Air Base, Germany
May God bless you and comfort you in this time of loss. My family and I thank you for the service and sacrifice of your loved one. My father passed away some 8 years ago and was also a military member. I still have the three shells from the rifle salute. I pray that you find comfort in that his Nation is proud of his service and the legacy he has left behind in the continued military service of TSgt Liz Rooney.God bless,Capt Joe Ingram Ramstein AB, – Other – Germany
