Sgt. Paul Saylor, of Bremen, Georgia, died in Al Mahmudiyah, Iraq, August 15, 2005.  Sgt.
Saylor was assigned to the Army National Guard's 48th Brigade, 108th Scout Division.  Sgt.
Saylor was 21 years old.

Those left to mourn the loss of their beloved Paul are his mom Patti, his father Jamie, his
brother Jamie, his grandma Faye, Aunts Kay, Dottie, Linda and her husband Johnny.  Also
his cousins John, Shannon, Kayla and Sommer and too many friends to mention.

Because of the way Paul's body was returned to his family, changes were made to the Military
Bill.  This was done with the help of Senator Saxby Chambliss, Senator Johnny Isakson and
especially Congressman Phil Gingrey.  

Congressman Gingrey toured Iraq and implemented classes now required on how to properly
care for our fallen soldiers.  He was also responsible for asking for a bill to change the name
of the post office in Bremen, Georgia to the Sgt. Paul Saylor Post Office.  The bill passed with
no problem.

Paul was a kind, caring and compassionate person who went out of his way to help others.  
At his funeral service, many were surprised to find out the many ways in which he helped
others.

Paul was also known for his beautiful smile.  It was a smile you would never forget.

Paul's family and friends support our troops and thank them for their dedication and service
to our country.  We know that our freedom is never free and it is because of the brave men
and women of the United States military that we remain free.

Paul will be missed forever but his light, smile and his sacrifice to our country will forever
remain in our hearts.

Paul Saylor's Family
Not a day goes by that we do not think of our Paul.  God has provided us His comfort and
peace allowing us to know Paul is with our Lord and happy beyond our comprehension.  We
were so blessed to love Paul and to be loved by Paul.  Paul's smile could light up a room and
his heart was filled with compassion.  He wanted to make a difference in this world and he did.
 Although he was only 21 years old when he died, he had already done more than most
people did in a lifetime.  The best way we can honor Paul's memory is to live a life of integrity
and to help others.  Paul would also want us to laugh and have joy in our lives again.  We will
never be the same without our beloved Paul but the cherished memories we hold in our
hearts of Paul will sustain us through dark times and allow us to see that there can be joy and
hope.  Paul is a hero and will forever be a hero, in our hearts, minds and to the American
people.  Death will never diminish our love for Paul and Paul will forever remain a part of his
family who loves him so very, very much.

In memory of Sgt. Paul Saylor, our beloved family and American hero.  His brother Jamie
wrote this about Paul - "A Great Man Does Not Have To Talk.  His Legacy Is Left By The
Way He Walked."  Our lives will never be the same without our Paul but we remain
strong and proud of Paul's dedication and the ultimate sacrifice he paid for our freedom and
the freedom of those who could not fight for themselves.  There is a saying that “death leaves
a heart no one can heal.  Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”  Paul will forever be a part
of our family.  He remains so very close in our hearts and we speak of him often.  As
Christians we know that we will see our beloved Paul again and that brings us great comfort.  
Until that time, we hold cherished memories in our hearts, close our eyes to see Paul’s
beautiful smile and dimples, and remember all the ways he helped others, in ways we never
knew until after he left us.  Loving you forever Paul, forever!
 in our hearts.
