	Memorial Run Walk / Madeline Johns (friend) Dear Jeff - Well the Memorial Run/Walk in your honor was a great success. It never ceases to amaze me how many people looked up to you. We gave Joe a fairly simple assignment and - oh well it's best you don't know. It was an honor for me to meet some of your National Guard buddies. Last week I met a young man who served in Afganistan while you were. He said he heard a lot about you, but never got to meet you. He said he hoped to someday be the soldier you were. Mac, I didn't have the heart to tell him that wasn't possible, that there was only one Sgt. Major Jeff McLochlin. I wished him well and thanked him for his service. As I walked away, I noticed tears in his eyes. I thought to myself how selfish we can be sometimes. I was only thinking about what a lose I felt from you being gone from us. He is going back in January and I am going to do my very best to remember him and all the others in my prayers every day. Maddie

	The ways of a soldier! / Jeremy Smith (Served 1 year in Wichester ) I only served with Sgt. Mclochlin for a year as part of the Indiana Army National Guard in Winchester. I never took things as serious as I should've. Sgt. Mclochlin did. He held his head up high as a soldier and did what he needed to do and more. He is an inspiration to all of us and his family is an inspiration as well. I am now a police officer and I take more pride in my duties. I hope that I am able to do my work and be a wonderful father later in my life as Jeff did. You are all always in my prayers, though you don't know me. He was a great person and very proud to be a father first, a soldier second, and a law enforcement officer third. He had every characturistic that a soldier should have. He has shown us the true meaning in life and death of what it meant to have "the ways of a soldier." Forever and always, God bless. ------Jeremy Smith--------

	You will not be forgotten... / David Cook (none) I have never met the Sgt. Major, but my condolences go out to his family and friends and as a young man and young soldier, I hope to one day be able to cast a shadow half as big as Sgt. Major McLochlin. Thank you for your sacrifice, lead the way.

	English Report on My Hero / Letitia Imel (niece) I have chosen to do my report on the most un-selfish,bravest,loving and caring man I have ever known in my 16 years of living. I was not only lucky enough to meet him I was lucky enough to be his niece. I will never forget the first day I met him, he had one of those personalities where he just cared and loved everyone. I talked to him a little bit that day, and I remember how he listened to what I had to say. I will never forget the way he loved his family. He cherished every single one of them, he'd always play video games with his sons and even play Barbie's with his little girl. He also went into Connor's school a couple of times and read books to the kids, talked to them and played games. He usually did this right before he left. Jeff was ranked high in the army therefore he had the chance to call quite a bit. Nicholle would always long for his calls just to hear his voice and reassure her that he was safe and would be back home in no time. He would never worry her or the kids, if they asked if there was alot going on he'd always reply with,"no please don't worry I will be fine". If I was there when he'd call he'd always check up on me and see how school and everyone was doing.I could always tell by the sadness of his voice that he really missed his family and just being home. His last deployment was one of the worst it was last year in September and he was in a bad part. He didn't get to call as much because they'd shut the phones down when something big was going on. Nicholle worried alot but we never thought it would really happen until July 5th, 2006 I was at their house that day, and the worst thing happened for a family of a soldier. There were 3 army men in Nicholle's driveway that day all dressed in black. They would come to tell us the news that would later change the rest of our lives. Jeff had been killed in action that morning. The family misses him everyday and his presence is still with us, I feel safe knowing that he is looking over the family, it gives me a reassurance. I made Jeff a promise before he left that I would watch over the kids and help Nicholle out as much as I could. I would never break that promise. I can gladly say that Jeff fits the definition of a "hero" he fought for a cause, he has exceptional courage and strength, I admire Jeff for all of his achievements and someday I hope I can fulfill as many as he did. I can truly say that Jeff McLochlin is a true American Hero that will never be forgotten.

	fREEDOM ISN'T FREE / Traci M. (Cousin) I knew you more through Nicholle's eyes than I did personally. But I was always proud to say you were part of my family. Your crazy sense of humor, laughter, and smile could make anyone feel better; if only for awhle. I loved listening to her tell funny stories about you, never a dull moment in life; always something new. Nicholle and I could talk for hours on the phone, your first question would be "still?" as soon as you got home. The world feels different now with you no longer here- you touched so many lives, Jeff-we all hold you dear. With your wisdom you trained soldiers and taught cops, With your strength you handled convicts- I know there where lots. With your heart, you held your family tight and kept Nicholle safe from worry and strife. I know your guarding them from the other side and we're all here to help them, finish out there ride. I've cried for lots of soldiers we've lost the last few years- But when it comes to you- I can't stop the tears. Your legacy lives on in your wife and family- We'll never let it go- your in our hearts and memories. You always have and aways will be a hero to me- Now I truly understand Jeff; FREEDOM ISN'T FREE.

	thanks and you will never be forgotten / Michael Stuckey (Served with him for 2 years ) thanks for being a good friend and a great man.

	Tribute to a Fallen Hero / Garnet Jenkins (A Grateful American ) Please know that I am deeply sorry for the loss of Sgt. Maj. Jeff A. Mclochlin. The price this Fine Soldier and his family paid for this country will never be forgotten. Thank you Sgt. Maj. Mclochlin for your dedication and service. You are a True American Hero. May you rest in the Mighty Arms of God and may God's Loving Comfort and Grace be with the Mclochlin family. I am the sister of such a young hero, who made the Ultimate Sacrifice in Vietnam, many years ago. Rest your head now, weary soldier. Cast your weapons to the ground. Close your eyes and feel the peace, the light of Jesus fold around. Heed not our earthly battle cries, there is no post for you to stand, so rest now as he carries you within his loving hand. Do not look back upon us, disregard our selfish tears, walk in the sunlight of the spirit, free of war or pain and fear. Your duty here is done now, as ours will someday be, so go him now to places only heroes see. ~Author Unknown~ May the memories of your loved one live in your heart always. Softly and slowly.... Time heals... Close

	True hero / Amber Kingston (Passer By ) Thank you for your service and courage, you are a true hero and will never be forgotten. Close

	Thank you my friend / Mark Gordon (Former Soldier/Former Rochester resident ) Read >>
	Thank you my friend / Mark Gordon (Former Soldier/Former Rochester resident ) Dear Jeff, I first met you at Woodlawn Hospital. You were there investigating an accident if I remember correctly. I was an evening Radiographer (X-Ray Tech). We discussed the Army , as I was a former soldier myself, having gotten out in 1988, as was my late Father , a retired Army Colonel. I was always impressed in your athleticism and your dedicated work ethic, as a police officer and as a soldier. You were always such a physically fit person. You joined me at my house at Pontiac St. one evening, when my wife called concerned of a break in. You laughed, sort of, when we made it to the attic and realized that I had accidently left a light on. Thank you. You pulled my wife over for speeding one time, 2 houses away from the lake cottage we lived in. I never got a chance to thank you for that one! I am sorry that i could not make to your services. I was admitted to a local hospital with a knee infection at the time and could not travel. I just wanted to thank you for wearing the uniform of a soldier and paying the ultimate sacrifice for your country. I pray for your family and for those families with men and women still serving around the globe. You have left us too early but I hope to meet you again someday. Prior Service, US Army.... and Proud. May God Bless you, Mark L. Gordon Argos Close
