I first met Nick in the 1st grd. We were on t- ball together and he moved away after or during our 2nd grd. And I have never forgotten him after all these yrs. We've never seen each other again but there's alway those people that touch your lives even being as young as we where..... You'll be forever missed Nick

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Welch,

I am writing to you to let you know that I believe I have found your son's fallen soldier dog tags.  I found them on the beach in Panama City, Florida perhaps 2 years ago, and realized they were in lost in my beach bag.  I just found them today, and I would very much like to return them to you if they are yours and if you would like to have them.

My deepest gratitude to your son's ultimate sacrifice!

I can be reached by email at mdtisdale@gmail.com.

Thank you,

Michelle Tisdale

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Welch Family know that we recently made a small donation to St. Baldrick's Foundation to Fight Pediatric Cancer in honor of Nickolas S. Welch US Army Specialist.  We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond.  We will not forget.  May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Mr. and Mrs. Welch,  I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful son.  My son is an infantryman in the Army and will be deploying soon to Afghanistan.  I teamed up with Wear Blue...Run to remember as a way to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I was given your son's name for my Memorial Day Marathon in Buffalo this coming sunday.  I will run 26.2 miles for you and your son...his name and picture will be on the back of my shirt.  I was shocked after reading the beautiful article about Nickolas as he reminds me so much of my own son.  My son too was very athletic...lettering in Football, Basketball, and Track.  I am honored to do this for your son.  I really hope that this reaches you as I'd love to send you a picture of my race.  You could contact me anytime...I'd love to share this with you.  My email is Jahigby@aol.com.

So sorry for your loss. Words can not even begin to express the sadness I feel for your family. 

Sincerely 
 sister of fallen soldier SPC Brady Hammer

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Nickolas 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 .

I Salute You.
