Nathaniel Hammond was a certified flight instructor who received language training in Arabic before being deployed to Iraq. Hammond graduated from Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology in 2003 and his father, Tom Hammond, said he wanted to re-enlist in the Marines and return to Iraq as a pilot. "He wanted to fly Apache helicopters," he said. Hammond, 24, of Tulsa, was killed Nov. 8 in an attack. His Marine reserve unit was based in Chicago. Hammond, who grew up in Springfield, Mo., was scheduled to return home in March when his 6-year commitment to the Marines was to end. Tom Hammond said his son told his family that despite the ongoing insurgency, most of his conversations with Iraqis were positive. Tom Hammond said family members got a letter from his son two days before he was killed. In it, he said he put himself in God''s hands. "We know he is in heaven," Tom Hammond said. "We miss him. We love him."

Nate in Iraq

To the family and friends of Cpl. Nathaniel T. Hammond:
Please accept my remembrance of Nathaniel on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

The flag is flying in the sky
A daily reminder of who and why
We sit here remembering them today
These heroes that now lie in their grave.

While here on earth, the bravest ones
A soldier, a mother, a daughter, a son
The father's who went far off to war
To ensure our safety and so much more

To keep our children happy and free,
Someone must do this job, you see
So, today remember the soldiers who served,
Because this is one...

With the passing of yet another Memorial Day weekend, I'm humbly reminded that our family is not the only Gold Star family in Oklahoma. I've set aside time today to reflect on the past and remember that your family has suffered the loss of their soldier. Thank you for this soldier's service and duty. As he will always be dearly missed because he payed the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to protect our country and our freedom.
