LEE, Maine — A soldier who was killed last week in Iraq was remembered Dec. 7 as a simple man who asked for little and gave more than he received.
Hundreds of people filled the Lee Academy gymnasium to pay their respects to Sgt. Blair Emery, who was killed Nov. 30 after a roadside bomb exploded next to his Humvee in Baqubah.
Gov. John Baldacci and state military officials presented medals to Emery’s widow, Chu Emery, who told the crowd that her husband was an “angel.”
Emery, 24, was the second soldier from this small town to die this year in Iraq. In June, Sgt. Joel House, who was 22, was killed in a roadside bomb...

Thank you Blair i never got to say i love you or thanked you when you checked if my ankle was broken when i had fallen... i never knew that could happen its horrible... i grew more an more depressed, but im good now, lol... He was a damn good soldier, all they did was just push him around, he could have been living at this point right now if he hadnt become the gunner and kept being the driver... The "gunner" had an injury but i forgot wear so my brother-in-law told him to be the drver and he'd be the gunner. HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD DIED IN THAT VEHICLE... Thanks blair for what youu did making my sister happy providing her, always being there for her.

As a long time friend of a soldier in his battalion I was told to honor Blair on this Memorial Day.
Thank you for your service, it is unfortunate that you are not around to continue to touch lives so positively. You obviously made an impression on one of my life-long friends and I'm sorry that I never got a chance to thank you in person.
God Bless you and your family.

Your sacrifice will remain in our hearts for a lifetime,
with intense gratitude. May God bless you and your family.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms.
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heros never dies.

His Journey's Just Begun
Don't think of him as gone away--
his journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost--
and he was loved so much.
rejoice in The Good Lords Loving Arms. Stand down, you mission is complete. RIP. God Bless and may His Loving Grace comfort those left behind.
You will never be forgotton, thank you.
