My heart is so touched seeing these students, from Northeast Dubois, placing a wreath at the Tomb of Unknown Soldiers and visiting the Marine Corps Monument in Washington DC. ❤️🇺🇸 Honestly, I love how honored and proud they look on these pictures. It makes me think of how proud Alec looked when he earned the title of United States Marine. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for sending me these beautiful pictures and remembering my son, Alec, along the way. Knowing that Alec’s memory is still being carried forward by young people means more to me than I can ever put into words.

He may be gone, but, he will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️

A lot of Marines send me pictures of them visiting Alec’s cross at 1st Sgts Hill. But, two days ago, I received one from a young Marine, who had went to Northeast Dubois High School, the same as Alec. Connor wanted me to know that he has visited Alec’s cross, several times, while on base, paying his respects to his Hometown Hero. Thank you for sharing Connor! It means a lot!

Today marks 14 years since my son, LCpl Alec Terwiske was killed in a hostile combat situation in Afghanistan.
14 years, and somehow his presence is still woven into who I am today. Alec was brave, courageous, loving and full of life. He had a way of making people laugh, a heart that cared deeply, and a spirit that left an imprint on those that were fortunate to have known him. He wasn’t just a Marine. He was my son, my pride, and a piece of my heart that I will carry with me forever.
His life was far too short, but the love he gave, the lives he touched will live on forever.
Today, I don’t want Alec’s story to be remembered, only by how he died, but, by how he lived. So, hug your people a little tighter, say “I love you,” Forgive when you can. Laugh often. Be kind. And never take a day - or another person- you love for granted.
Love deeply. Cherish your people. Make your life count. Love never dies and the impact you make on others will live forever.
Thank you to everyone that has stood beside my family and I, remembering Alec, and showing your unending support and love throughout the years. It means more than I could ever put into words. ❤️

Forever and Always My Son
Forever and Always My Hero
LCpl Alec Terwiske -
Never Forgotten ❤️🇺🇸❤️

It’s always an honor for me to be asked by OFS, every year, to say a few words before their Honor and Remember Run. This year a family from Tell City was recognized with an Honor and Remember flag for their daughter, who was killed in the line of duty as a police officer.

I know the precise weight of a folded flag. I know the deafening silence of a home when a loved one doesn’t return.

May all the Fallen be remembered and honored for their incredible sacrifice.

Celebrated this big guy today! Happy Birthday in Heaven Alec! I hope you are celebrating! Hard to believe he was only 20 years old in this picture and loving life as a Marine.
I hate these hard days. You miss them so much and your mind never shuts down. You replay every single thing, every smile, every laugh, over and over in your mind. You wonder who they would be today and what would they be doing. So, on the hard days you have to remind yourself, that you wouldn’t trade the love to escape the grief.
I will always miss my son. In the quiet moments, in the celebrations, and in the good days. I’m forever grateful that Alec is my son.

Grief is a forever kinda mess. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
My Hero Always ❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
