The prayers of the Wright Family, the Royster Family and the Burks Family go out to the Fleming Family. God bless you all and may He help heal your broken hearts. We thank you American Hero, Scott Fleming, with all our hearts.

My prayers are for this family, also.

God bless the Fleming family. When we are associated with the Armed Forces....there is always a high degree of danger, but you never think it will happen to your family, you never want it to happen to anybody, but it never seems like a possibility. May God help this family during this most tragic of times. To say Scott is a hero is an understatement....he gave his all.....Prayers to this family.

Their address is:

Scott grew up on the next block from us. Prayers for his family please.
We lost a very special friend and neighbor on Friday. Joseph and Joanne Fleming's son, Scott was killed by a sniper in Afghanistan on Friday. We watched Scott grow up on Woodshire Crossing. He graduated from Blessed Trinity in 2004 and LaGrange College in 2008. He was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marines in 2009, deploying to Afghanistan in 2010. Scott was promoted to 1st LT in August and was scheduled to come home soon. Scott was stationed in Hawaii and his wife is still there. He was an amazing young man and will be missed by everyone who knew him. (Links below are a couple of pictures of Scott)
The Flemings' are finalizing plans for Scott to be buried with honors in Arlington Cemetery. Their Woodshire Crossing neighbors lined the street with American flags in Scott's honor this weekend and we are looking forward to honoring the family, again on their return. Scott's parents and sister, Andrea appreciate everyone's support. They are receiving visitors in their home, 3402 Woodshire Crossing . Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers and honor Scott with your support for the friends and family of other neighbors with deployed loved ones.

Diane - I suppose we can put up with anything for the sake of our kids, I was watching something on PBS about Naval Pilots and carriers.....it made it all very scary....yeah, the hook not catching....multiple landing tries....this was all in pitch dark AND having to be re-fueled mid-air due to the multiple tries.....A mom on here in some other forum said it was easier being a Navy wife than Navy mom. It really hit home, I deployed 4 times to Iraq and it makes me very nervous thinking he WILL go, and I know he will go. Bless all Navy moms, but Aviaotor moms, that's a notch up on the stress level!! thanks for sharing.

Sailordawgmom - Yes I remember those pins and needles. Guess what? They don't go away. Have you done the simulator? Do try it out when you can. I got sick to my stomach ... loop-de-loops, twists and all. After simulators...you tingle when he tells you (or you're waiting to hear back) after his first flight up. Then the unexpected...he calls to tell you about his first real emergency (Chris lost his hydraulics and didn't have enough fuel to take off again if his hook didn't catch the cable) or they progress to their first aircraft carrier qualification landings (or their second... or third... )
Welcome ArmyNavy mom: always nice to meet new people. Where's your son doing his NROTC?
