As an American I am grateful for the sacrifices our soldiers make to preserve our freedoms. Thank you. SMA Tilley I continue to support and spread awareness of the excellent efforts of AFF. Thank you for your service to this great country.

Knox, Ky. He's a great guy, funny as hell! I'll always remember him for his counselling me during some hard times I was having back then. Hes one of the old breed (Vietnam Veterans) that "raised" me in the U.S. Army. I will always be greatful to you.

He could'nt have been a better example of what the NCO Corps was supposed to be. You would never walk away from a talk with the SGM confused about what needed to be done but also you would also feel like you just talked to a man that truly cared about the mission and also you as a soldier. God bless men like Jack Tilley and his family who sacrifice for their country. Served with SGM Tilley in 1st Armored Division in Bosnia.

I had the privilege of meeting GEN Shinseki and SMA Tilley during the short build up before we went into Afghanistan. I received coins from both of them and I cherish SMA Tilley's coin the most. He is right, you can tell when someone is the real deal or just blowing smoke. I really appreciate the reminder to take care of our troops, and their families. I sometimes get caught up in the daily grind and forget to think about what might be troubling or blessing a soldier at home. This was a good reminder of what is important! "...though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2 CJ,
