Did not know him and didn’t serve at the same time. But reading about him fills me with sadness and pride. To his family and friends thoughts and prayers. To his brothers Semper fi. I just got out of the infantry marine corps and can’t even begin to understand what you all want through.

To the family of Lance Cpl. Robert S. Greniger:

As you may know, the Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel Foundation has honored your loved one at its Memorial Day Sunday worship service (each year in May) … since the time of your fallen hero's ultimate sacrifice. We will continue to pay tribute to our nation's veterans … lest we ever forget!

Now we would like to honor you … as the next-of-kin … who have also paid a great price on the altar of liberty. On Sunday 29 September at 11:00 a.m. we will host a Gold Star Family Sunday.

I would like to extend to your family an invitation to honor us with your presence at worship … as we pay tribute to your sacrifice. Our pastor, U.S. Army Chaplain (Colonel-Retired) Kenneth L. Beale, Jr., will preach a message entitled, “By Dying, We Live.” The special music will be the husband/wife vocal/piano — Wickman Duo. Following the worship experience, your family is invited to attend a social time in our Fellowship Hall … with some light refreshments.

As this historic chapel has limited seating, we would be happy to reserve seating for you and yours. To do so, kindly call (651/286-7296) and leave a voice message indicating your veterans' name and the number of persons attending.

Each package will carry the name, photo and the hometown of Robert S. Greniger US Marine Lance Corporal. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community.

Everyday that goes by is another day that I wish I had been there, I constantly wonder "what if I was with him instead of another platoon." I feel like I could have done something, been able to keep him around. It hurts to this day to know that I lost my best friend, from the moment I met him, only a few days before my child was born. It was a rough time and I know my pain will never amount to what you have felt, but I will always be here for the family. I know Robert would do the same for me.

To the family of Lance Cpl. Robert S. Greniger:
The Fort Snelling Memorial Chapel Foundation will be honoring your loved one at the non-denominational Christian Memorial Day Remembrance worship service at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, 26 May 2013. We will remember the casualties of the Global War on Terrorism from Minnesota … and the bordering states of Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin. Outside of the historic Fort Snelling Veterans Memorial Chapel will be a “Memorial Garden” filled with some 300 white crosses bearing the names of the war dead … including your loved one.

The Memorial Garden will be encircled with larger white crosses representing all of the wars of our nation's history and give honor to all who have served in the United States Armed Forces and made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. Wreaths will be placed at the foot of each 8-foot cross bearing the number of U.S. Service Members killed in each of America's conflicts.

I would like to extend to your family an invitation to honor us with your presence at worship as we pay tribute to the sacrifice made by your service member and family. Our pastor, Kenneth L. Beale, Jr., will preach a message entitled, “Freedom:Free, but Costly.” At the conclusion of the worship hour, all of the congregation will be invited to silently pay their respects at the garden and there place poppies at each of the crosses. A Memorial Rifle Squad of the Fort Snelling National Cemetery will fire vollies as the US flag is lowered to half-staff and Taps is played. Following your visit to the Memorial Garden, your family is invited to attend an informal reception (weather permitting) outside of the Chapel. The Memorial Garden will remain until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, 27 May (Memorial Day).

As this Christian worship service has traditionally been well attended, we would be happy to reserve seating for you and yours. To do so, kindly call (651/286-7296) and leave a voice message indicating your veterans' name and the number of persons attending. For more information about the Foundation or driving directions to the historic chapel at Fort Snelling, visit our website at: www.fortsnellingmcf.org Special rates for nearby hotels will be available.

Also, beginning at dusk (8:30 p.m.) on Saturday 25 May through dawn (6:30 a.m.) on Sunday, 26 May, a “Prayer Vigil for Peace” will be held in the sanctuary of the Chapel. You are invited to stop by, light a candle and place it at the foot of your loved one's cross in the Memorial Garden … and then enter the Chapel for prayer.

If you are not able to attend, we pray that you would find comfort in knowing that our prayers are with you and all of the fallen heroes.

To LCpl Robert Greniger: Thank You for your service to our country! Your Service and Sacrifice will never be forgotten by me and the countless others who lined the road to the High School and attended your service last Friday. I was awestruck and in tears as I drove by them on my way home from work to attend your Funeral. I was so very proud of Rockford for the show of gratitude and respect as I'm sure you are! To the Greniger Family: Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of Robert. It seems just like yesterday our kids were graduating from Rockford! I have been thinking of your family and Robert since I heard the awful news. Although I sadly understand the pain of losing a son, I also know it is different for each person. Just know that those who are blessed to not have such a reference also feel the pain and heartache. Since eternity is immeasurable and our time on this earth brief it will be just a blink of an eye before you will again see and hold Robert once more!

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Robert will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed

But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.

I salute you, allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
my humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.

I salute you .

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to LCpl . Robert S. Greniger our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Robert. And to Robert it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Robert, you are a brave Marine Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.

On behalf of the 1,307 Legionnaire Veterans of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Robert’s family and loved ones. Semper Fi !

I wish that there was something I could say that would ease your pain. I can only let you know the pain I feel in my heart for you. I am sorry that I never got a chance to personally know Robert but he will always be in my heart and in my prayers. I will also keep you and your family in my heart and in my prayers. Thank you for raising such a fine young man, a wonderful Marine and a true HERO.

At such a time,
There isn’t much that anyone can say,
But many thoughts & prayers go out to you
in sympathy today.
He served and died as a true hero and will
never be forgotten.

“He which hath no stomach to this fight let him depart. But we in it shall be remembered. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!! For he today
that sheds his blood with me, shall always be my brother.” Rest in peace
my Brothers, you have not been forgotten. (W. Shakespeare)

“The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.” - Thucydides

The greatest tragedy is being forgotten.

A Letter from God To

The Family Of
LCpl Robert Greniger




Dear Child of Mine,

I am the God of all comfort. I will hold you in my arms of compassion and sing you my song of grace.

I will touch the wounds within you, and in my perfect season, I will lift you from this place of pain.

But I want you to know that as I am healing you, I am also creating within you a healing ministry of your own.

For to be healed by me is to be made a healer.

You see, the very comfort that I am working into your broken heart through the power of my words, and the love of my people is meant to be recycled.

Someday when your heart has grown strong again, I will send someone into your life who is as broken as you are today.

And the compassion I am pouring into you now will flow from

you to that hurting soul.

You will know how to comfort him because you will have been where he is.

You will resonate with his pain.

You will reach into the depth of your own healing and love him back to life for Me. What a precious vessel you will be to Me then.

A vessel once humbled and hurt---and then healed to be healer! This is My Plan for you.

Love Forever, God

We are so sorry your Blue Star has turned to Gold

May God be with you at this most difficult time granting you peace and comfort

We are So sorry your Blue Star has turned to Gold

American hero fallen,
together in grief we join.
Citizens together stand,
honor those who served.
Tribute to the fallen;
casualty of liberty.
Family of the fallen,
bear our debt in grief.
Today another funeral;
honors this one taken.
One man's duty done;
liberty lives today.
