Here is a website that LCpl. Manoukian's mother set up for her son after he lost his life in Ramadi.

From That Website:

In Honor and loving memory of my son LCpl Nicholas J. Manoukian, my "Fallen Warrior." As troops pass in parade he is just a tree in a forest of men. When he travels from his homeland to the heat of battle, he is just someone who fills a seat on the air transport. To the enemy he is just another faceless target to be eliminated on the quest to victory.

But this warrior is more than just a number. He has a personality and a place in the hearts of those who truly know him. He is the beautiful baby,an only child that filled a mother's heart with so much love that she easily dedicated her life to him. She was his harbor of safety when the storms of boo-boo's and the flood of childhood tears overcame him. continued here

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, We are proud to call them Hero......

It Is Foolish And Wrong To Mourn The Men Who Died. Rather We Should Thank God That Such Men Lived
