My sincerest condolences to the Lee family, who are without a doubt the best people that I know.

           We are sending love and prayers to you as we just learned today of Nien-Jen's passing. What a fine young man from a well respected family. He treated everyone with kindness & respect. I had the privilege of talking to Nien-Jen while he was in Afghanistan on a call he made to his sister Lauren. I  will always treasure that  moment. He always made everyone feel special who came to the restaurant... We always felt like family,not just a customer. He will be greatly missed.. You all hold a very dear place in our hearts..May God give you peace & comfort in this difficult time.

Dear Lee, life is made up of moments.  I'm glad everyone who met you and knew you shared with you those moments.  We're all the better for it until we meet each other again.  Bless your family and you.  

With heartfelt prayers, 1SG Lopez and Family

Our family extends sincere condolences to the Lee family for this untimely loss.  Whenever the "kids" and grandchildren came back to visit, we all went to House of Lee, and that is where we met Nien-Jen.  He was a son of which any father could be proud, and, like his parents, he believed in serving his community.  We thank him and his parents for his kindness and his service to others.

Nien-Jen you were a great man. I always enjoyed our visits. Your in Heaven now with my nephew Zach Wright. Ya'll were classmates and friends so share those laughs together now. RIP sweet boy!

Trooper Lee, It was a pleasure knowing you. Rest in peace and know that you are with your heavenly father. R.I.P. You will be missed.

My heart goes out to the Lee family. Its been a while since I had seen Nien-Jen. I remember how he was so kind when we went to "House of Lee." Nien-Jen will always be remembered. May God show us to be so kind like him. Thank you for protecting our country and may you rest in peace. We will see you again by Jesus's side.

LT, we had a lot of laughs in Afghan. I appreciate having had you on mission...Que Dios the bendiga hermoano...R.I.P.

Ben and Sharon McGee

Nien-Jen, I was the lady who lived next door to you when you lived on Keller Rd. in Temple. My son Daryl played and grew up with you. I can still see you two out in the garden playing in a mud hole and making crosses that leaned on the fence at Easter. You had a sweet shy smile way back then but as you grew you had a bigger warmer smile as a young man and I have watched you grow more on face book as I followed your pictures and post. I am so thankful to you for serving our country and being so willing to go so far away. I know it takes a toll on you. My Dad served years in Korea. I know God can not make a mistake, for some reason it was time for him to bring you home with him. I give all my love to the Lee Family. Mr. and Mrs. Lee you were always so sweet to me. I ask God to bless each of you and to keep his arms around you in his special way. Knowing you and your family has been a blessing.
