Andy was a strong and dedicated leader, always willing to lend a helping hand. Although he was only with us a brief time, we were truly blessed in his presence. He constantly made us laugh with his sense of humor; now our cries drown out the laughter as we mourn our beloved loss of our son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, fiancé and dear friend. Corporal Anderson's decorations achievements include the Purple Heart, Bronze Star Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, and the Combat Action Badge. Most importantly he was a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
