NOTE FROM SCENT-SATIONS DISTRIBUTOR DAWN ROHLIK:
Following is an exerpt from a really nice write up done about Jason in our local newspaper:

Jason's roommate and good friend 1st Lt. Michael Hammerschmidt, spoke of the many qualities that made Timmerman who he was. Hammerschmidt said ( Timmerman) lived the Army Values and the Ten Commandments. "He lived by the code that few people live by. He always did the right thing. He didn't have to try to be a good person; he just was. Hammerschmidt also joked That (Timmerman) loved country music, computers and sports. "

Some days (my roommates) and I would wake to the sound of Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" playing on Timmermann"s computer. He would often educate me on the finer points of basketball by whooping me in a pick-up game...that was just Jason. He loved that type of thing."

42nd MP Brigade Commander, Col. Richard Swengros, shared "all commanders look at their Soldiers as more than just a Soldier . The reality is we see them as our own children."

"My Families and yours are safe from evil due in part the sacrifices these warriors made,"said Gailes. "We as a nation are eternally grateful for what they have done and for what the memory of them will do for us for the rest of their lives. Let there be no doubt that they are heroes."

From Dawn : After reading this the statement stating that Jason did not have to try to be a good person; he just was, just stood out to me because I know his brother Travis and by what I have seen in Travis that does not surprise me at all. The parents of these boys should be so proud to have raised such fine up standing young adults. They truly gave to them the morals and the values that make them the up standing citizens they have become!
