Daniel,
You have my most sincere wishes and prayers for a happy birthday. Sadly, most Americans don't recognize your service and sacrifice to our nation but I salute you sir. You have my deepest and most solemn respect for your service & sacrifice. May God bless you on your birthday and all the days of your life.

Happy Birthday Sergeant Thornhill. I do not know you, but I 'do' know that you tremendous sacrifice will always be appreciated; protecting us from those that would blame citizens of the United States of America for the ills of their country.
Again, thank you for your courage, and love for our country. May God's eternal Grace and Mercy follow you all of the days of your live, and be involved in all aspects of your live to encourage others in a positive way.
I will be sending a card and suggest that anyone who has a Twitter account should tweet this link. I did and I hope it helps in some small way.

I salute you for your service, thank God for men and women willing to sacrifice for people they don't know, and who often have a different set of values. My own son served in the Army during the beginning of the Bosnia mess. He was stationed at Johnston Island and then Ft. Sill. Although I never had to worry about him in battle, I was proud of his service as well. SOOOO...to you, and all military personell, thank you, and God Bless you.
Happy Belated Birthday to you Sir
I work at a children's center and came accross your story. Im sorry that I did'tnt send this in time for your birthday. However I did want to say something. Happy Birthday to you..... To you and all who serve I say thank you. To you I want to remind you of the one that sacrificed so that we may have life JESUS! in Him you will find confort, strength, and peace. When the world feels like it does'nt understand remember He will always, and forever. I tried and I know it works. Sometimes the only one you can depend on is JESUS try Him for yourself. May God continue to Bless you and your family.

Daniel, I am a retired veteran, having served in the US Navy many years ago. I have not had to make the sacrifice that you have for our country, and I am humbled by what you have endured.
Thank you for your service. I am very sad about what the enemy did to you; and I confess that I don't know why young men and women have to experience such injuries in their lives here on earth. Maybe we can know someday. However, I will think of you this week and wish you a Very Happy Birthday. I am glad you are alive and I wish you the best as you meet the challenge you are facing. God Bless You1..and thank you again for your service.
Sgt. Thornhill have a very Happy Birthday and God Bless You. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
In the hopes that this and other Birthday Greetings, in response to the original post, are made available to you Sgt. Thornhill, God bless you for your service.
Wishing you a Happy Birthday from up here in McKinney, TX.

Sgt. Thornhill being a veteran of Viet Nam and Desert Storm myself. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sacrafic that you have made and principels that you stand for.
I know that I can't give you back your legs and I know that words my seem to be cheap at a time like this, but brother I love you and thank you for so much.
You have fought a good fight come on home. Happy Birthday from all of us.
Sgt Thornhill, I wish you the best! May the Lord bless you with a return to health and a full life. I am so thankful to you for your service for our country. As a military wife I followed "the flag" for 20 years starting in the Vietnam era. Thankfully he came home from his deployments without injuries such as you have suffered. It didn't necessarily have to happen that way. Thank you to your family for their son.
Happy Birthday, SGT Thornhill. No one can ever thank you enough for your service and sacrifice. Your sense of honor and duty is at the highest level. Your attitude and determination set an outstanding example to others. My best wishes for a continued recovery and many more birthdays.

Daniel,
We have been praying for you since you were injured and I have been receiving e-mail updates from time to time. My apologies for not having contacted you before, but I found your information on-line and I knew I had to say belated Happy Birthday. I'm so thankful that your family can celebrate together. You're not really 28 are you? We will always be grateful for your willingness to serve. I just talked to Aunt Charlotte today and she said you have to learn to strap your seatbelt when your in your chair. Keep at it at and keep looking up.
Pastor Eric
Thank you Soldier for your sacrifice and dedication. I am inspired by your relentless spirit and positive outlook. Please accept a rowdy Hooah! from a former Devil Dog, and my most sincere gratitude.

I pray for you every day, several times. You are receiving the love, support, and admiration of so many people. Fight the good fight. Hang in there. May you be sustained by the Ultimate Healer and rewarded at the Lamb's Table.
Sgt. Thornhill, you are a true American and a true hero. Thank you so much for your tremendous sacrifice in serving our country. I for one am glad you were born and I am glad that you live. Happy belated birthday. You have suffered much for your country and I am so grateful for you and others like you who have served and suffered to preserve the freedoms we all enjoy here. God bless you and your family. He has already blessed you with a great and noble spirit. No one can take that away from you! Continue to share who you really are!
Sgt. Thornhill, to say "thank you" is such a poor expression of gratitude for all that you have done for our country. I think about you frequently and hope that you are doing well and your spirits are high. You are my hero!
