My name is Cory Heaberlin. I was the guardsmen that was working on Paul when he died. I would like to tell his wife Linda something. I talked to her before, but wanted to add a couple of things. Primarily, I just wanted her to know that I was physically touching Paul when he died and talking to him. I wanted to make that clear to her.

Cory

--I would like to talk to her and give her this message personally.

Its been two tears since i was first hit about the terrible news about paul's death and still brings me tears today. Next month i'll will be going to the gulf and would be honored to visit the memorial plaque.
I remember his laughter and his cheeky smile. He will forever be in my thoughts.

I watched the interview katie curic did with Kimberly Dozier. Kimberly spoke of Paul and James with such fondness and with the utmost respect. I was wondering, when she was speaking about Paul and remembering him, there was a book (unfinished) that Paul had been reading. I forgot to write the title of that book as Iam most interested in reading his last intended read. Can you please tell me the name of that book. I would like to embrace that book and read it in its entirity. I suppose I want to do so as a way to show my regards to this lovely human being. Thank you, Karen

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to you from the Newseum, a journalism museum and part of the
FREEDOM FORUM ORGANIZATION in Arlington Virginia. We are seeking PHOTOGRAPHS of Paul Douglas and James Brolan to include in our permanent "Journalists Memorial" exhibit in our new museum
going up in Washington DC.

We were hoping you might join us in our project to honor these professionals.
I came across their photos on your wesite

http://www.paulandjames.couk/gallery.html
We are seeking a minimum photo resolution of 300 DPI. Unfortunately the website photo does not have a high enough resolution. In addition, we must have WRITTEN PERMISSION to use the photos in our exhibit. All displayed photos will be credited to their

I met James in my first year at St Aloysius' College, in 1975, when we both started seconday school. It was an odd time for me, as my family had recently left East London and moved to Upper Holloway in North London, about 3 months before the end of term. I not only had to cope with leaving Primary school but also being separated from my mates, the ones I had hoped would support me through the new challenges ahead.

I arrived at Aloysius' then in a very vulnerable state but it wasn't too long before I started getting to know a few people, and one of those early connections was with James. We sat together I think for a couple of lessons, and once he found out where I lived, volunteered to pick me up in the morning so we could walk to school, which was good, as my parents were not keen for me to do the mile and half journey alone. For the first couple of years then, we kept eachother company, and we would have quite a giggle too. It such a hike, mostly uphill so it kept us fit, plus we got a useful insight into eachother's interests etc. James was into the construction of model tanks and aircraft in a big way - he had such patience, far more than me, as mine hardly left the box but he tried to get me involved, and also encouraged me to read more widely. I have read the various tributes and even at such a young age, he was keen to learn and a bit of that rubbed off on myself. He also introduced the concept of the "SBD" - I will never forget that one! Some of my humour now is certainly influenced by James' love of a practical joke and the ability to laugh at himself.

Even now, I am sometimes reminded of the long slog we both undertook to school in those early years. I can't quite recall how we eventually drifted apart. I know James got rather into the Heavy Metal scence, something that I later became interested in, and then joined the army. I did meet him once while I was working in Brent Cross, in a restaurant, about 9 years ago. He made a point of coming over and having a chat, which was really nice. Then last September, I was travelling on the tube, going back towards Finchley, and sat next to him, having got on at Camden. I was with my girlfriend, and James and I both looked at eachother but did the old british thing most of us do on a train, and sat in silence,in case of embarrasment or whatever. I wish now I had at least said hello but I wasn't to know what life had in store for James at the time.

I was so shocked to read of his death but so admired, and indeed was a tad envious of his many achievements throughout his life - he left me in the shade by a long way. It was such a shame. My deepest symapathies go out to his wife and family.

So cheers, mate - thanks for taking time to make me feel welcome. I shall never forget it.

Gerry

It's hard to put into words, I am so sorry, I wish I could turn back time! Can anyone stop this madness? Just had a relative deployed to Baghdad, and on the front page of our local newspaper, Peninsula Daily News, Port Angeles, Washington, "Peninsula Marine killed in Iraq" 8/3/06. What can one person do?

Could you if possible give us an address where we can send cards to Kimberly, if not the hospital then through someone else that would get them to her. I've asked since she was hurt and have had no responces to my request. Thank you. I know the power of prayer and also how much cards can help someone recover. Thank you for any help you might supply. Jean

Een verschrikkelijk bericht. 2 collega's van je omgekomen. Het is een wereld van strijd en moord. Gelukkig heb jij wat afstand kunnen nemen.

Groetjes.

Many of CBS news crew maybe dont know me
I worked for CBS news in Baghdad as an engineer, I met Paul in Baghdad and we was best friends,he tried to teach me everything about his Job and on my site I tried to learn him how to speek Arabic,I lost my best friend, I lost Him.

As we head into a long holiday weekend, I wanted to update you on Kimberly’s condition.

She is still at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda. Kimberly has had several operations to reconstruct parts of her legs with muscle and skin grafts. She started physical therapy last week and stood--very briefly--with the help of a therapist. This is a small, first step in a very long journey for Kimberly, but a positive one.

You will not be surprised to learn that she is very involved in directing her medical care and, her boyfriend reports, she has beaten just about every "deadline" she’s been given by her doctors so far.

I know you join me in wishing Kimberly continued energy and progress in her recuperation. By the way, her birthday is July 6.

I first met Paul Douglas in Kuwait in early 2003. He was a huge man with a
huge presence, a strong cockney accent, a shaven head, goatee beard, and a
very friendly manner.

We worked together for many months in Iraq and during that time, becoming
close friends and venturing out onto the streets of Baghdad day after day.

I had a huge amount of respect for Paul, mainly due to the fact I had never
worked with someone so brave in the face of danger outside of the Military,
but also due to the fact he had a great sense of humor. He was always
smiling, and very little got him down.

In short, he was a big, brave, happy family man who will be missed by all
who knew him.

Andy Edwards

Very sad.

Deb and Martin x

Paul was one of my best friends, we went clay pigeon shooting for 14 years running and it has been like losing a brother and was like an uncle to my son and I held the man in the highest regard.
Paul never had a bad word to say about anyone and had the warmest heart I have known .
Both Paul and James will be sadly missed. In a small memorial shoot held last Sunday his widow and family donated his shotgun to my son, a lovely gesture and we got my nephew to play a couple of laments in his honour on the bagpipes ,learning a tune called the sands of Kuwait .

A great guy . Thanks to CBS for a good memorial reception ,he would have felt very honoured ,but deservedly so,

David j Walker

MY family and I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the families involved. These are very brave warriors that the majority of America overlooks. It is so unfair that an uncivlized country can get away with blatant murder of great Americans. Our heart and prayers are with you.

June 15th, 2006
To the Family of Paul Douglas,

My name is Hugh Williams. I have been a cameraman with CNN for many years, and I worked alongside Paul all over the world. Come to think of it, I can't even remember all the countries and cities we ran into each other, whether it was freezing cold or roasting hot, or exactly what horrible things were happening at the time in these places. (After many years, these events tend to blend together). I was in Russia, Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda, Afghanistan, Belfast, Haiti...etc all through the 1990's.

To me, the job we did was full of contradictions. It was exhilarating, and exhausting. Both exciting and terrifying at the same time. A great big unknown adventure. (Thankfully, there were always lots of humorous moments punctuating the sheer terror too). It sounds weird, but without our 'news junkie' colleagues, it was hard to have fun and try to hold it together under these circumstances. I always found a tremendous amount of reassurance when I saw Paul's big smiling face, or grimace, in one of these far flung places. He was part of the "crew". The "crew" of international news hounds that would run into each other everywhere. He made me feel less alone. It's kinda hard to describe. I always admired his professionalism. In his presence, I was less fearful, and I worked harder. I thought, "Wow, CBS is here with the big guns...I better not screw up!" I can't claim that we were best mates or anything, but we acknowledged each others presence, and I hope he was as happy to see me as I was to see him on those crazy stories. Perhaps he didn't even realize the effect he had on others. I know that his death profoundly hurt me, and I wanted to let you know why. I hope it helps you to know that Paul had that effect on people.

Please accept my condolences, and those of my colleagues at CNN who knew him and worked with him. He will certainly not be forgotten.

Regards,

Hugh Williams

"Hundreds of people packed St. Mary Brookfield, a beautiful church just down the hill from where James Brolan grew up, to say goodbye.

“Parish priest Father Guy Pope and CBS News colleague Mark Phillips eulogized James, and his son Sam read a poem in tribute. Mark remembered James as ‘not only the smartest guy in the room, but also the funniest.’ Then, as James' flag-draped coffin was carried from the church, a choir sang, beautifully and hauntingly, 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.'"

James Brolan leaves behind his wife Geraldine, son Sam, and daughter Agatha. He and they will remain in our thoughts and prayers, and we will always remember their sacrifice.

"Perhaps 500 people--family, friends and colleagues--gathered in Bedford, not far from Paul's home outside London, to say good-bye to a husband, father, friend and, as many here today thought of him, 'mate.'

We heard much about Paul's courage, his humor, his love for his family and his ability to manage nearly any situation. There were many eloquent words, many tears and a bit of laughter, too. Paul's daughter Joanne may have said it best (the quote may not be precise, but the spirit is exact): 'Cameramen sometimes have to put their emotions aside in order to do their jobs. But if they lose touch with their heart, their pictures are flat, two-dimensional. That was never a problem with my father. He had an over-abundance of heart.'"

All of us at CBS News will never forget Paul's heart, and his sacrifice. He and Linda, Joanne and Kelly, and Charlie, Georgia, and Kai will always be part of our family. Please keep them, and the family of James Brolan, in your thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

Dear friends,

I’m working in New York at the moment and won’t make the funeral tomorrow, but I wanted to share a small story about Paul that to me encapsulates something vital about his character.

Lately I’ve been working on a story about the military’s Medevac operation in Iraq. Paul, I heard, had shot something similar a couple of years ago with Andy Clarke and Dan Rather for the Evening News. So I asked Paul for advice about how to shoot the story, where to mount the cameras on the Medevac helicopters, what kinds of cameras to use, etc. Paul, who always seemed to have time for everybody, was only too happy to entertain my questions and explain in detail exactly how they’d done it. And, as the weeks of preparation went by, he kept checking back with me to see how it was going, and to find out if I had any further questions. He was so generous with his time and was sincerely concerned with the success of our project.

Amidst his advice, Paul told me one story about their previous shoot that, in retrospect, seems to say a lot about the type of person he was. He recounted that the flight medics he worked with on the previous story were cool to the CBS team until they all had gone out on a mission together and, at one point, Paul had put his camera down, gotten out of the chopper and helped carry a wounded soldier on a stretcher. The soldier was a big fellow, heavy, and the medics needed the help. From then on, Paul said, the medics “could tell we were good guys” who wanted to help and things ran really smoothly.

Paul told me that story a couple of times. The memory clearly meant a lot to him. He didn’t tell it to brag about what a great guy he’d been. He was giving me a solid piece of advice – advice that was at once practical and profound. In his completely unpretentious, unprepossessing way, he was saying, ‘You may be gung-ho about journalism, but don’t forget you’re a human being.’

To me, this tale says so much about Paul’s generosity, about the way he ploughed right through the barriers that crop up between people, and about the fact that he was simply a good guy who wanted to help when help was needed. What a special man, how much he’ll be missed.

Though I won’t be at the funeral, my heart is with all of you who are there.

Lots of love,

Solly

This week has started by saying goodbye to two great men of international newsgathering. Many people will not know them. But to anyone who has covered any of the major foreign stories over the past decade and a half - particularly in nasty places - CBS cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman James Brolan were there.

On Monday, hundreds of people gathered in Bedford. Paul Douglas was a great bear of a man whose laughter and smile filled the CBS bureau in London and every assignment he worked on. His granddaughters spoke of their love for the "best granddad in the world". His daughter of the incredible life Paul lived as he brought up his family and moved from a cab driver to sound man at ITN, to cameraman at CBS. And Linda spoke of her love of the man she was married to for over 30 years.

Today was the funeral of James Brolan. It was an emotional and touching service where everybody remembered a man of great warmth and humour as well as a fine sound engineer and journalist. Many a pint of Guinness was raised to James afterwards. But the enormity of his personality was telling by the emptiness everyone felt.

Nicholas Springate

Wim:

I was shocked to hear about James and Paul Douglas. Such a tragedy. James was such a good and funny man—I really enjoyed working with him and you last December. My condolences to you and everyone there.

Paul Ryan

On behalf of everyone at Sony please accept our sincere expression of sympathy and sorrow at the terrible events that have befallen CBS News in Iraq this week.

The deaths of Paul and James, and injury to Kimberly, are a devastating loss for the entire journalism community. The tragedy only reaffirms the very important work CBS News is doing and has always done, not only in Iraq, but around the world. And, these wonderful journalists now become another powerful yet poignant link to the legacy of a truly great news organization.

My own affection and respect for CBS News, its people, its history and its tremendous value in this society has no limits. I wish for all of you a time of healing, of peace, and of resolve.

Sincerely,
Howard Stringer

To all our friends in London,

Please know that everybody in New York is still completely devastated by last weeks’ tragic event.
We share the pain with you, over the loss of our two outstanding colleagues.

Our thoughts and prayers for Paul and James; and for their familes and ours are continuously ongoing.

-Walt Leiding

Just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. It must be a very difficult time for you and your colleagues.
We extend our sympathy to you all.
Everyone here was saddened by the news, a few of my colleagues have worked
with them in the past and it came as a great shock to us all.

Marjorie

So sorry about the loss of the crew there in London ....

Hope you and everyone else there are holding up during this sad time.

So sorry ...
Be safe ...

I was outside of the Middle East when I heard the news about your news crew and Kimberly Dozier and did not have access to my computer, I am back in the office and so that is why I am just now writing. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. Although I’ve never met you personally and only briefly worked with Kimberly last year on the Thanksgiving story, I know you, Kimberly and the whole CBS news crew to have such an impeccable reputation for not only your professionalism but for also being extremely likeable people. That was in deed my brief experience when I met Kimberly last year at the Camp Prosperity dining facility, as well as my phone conversations with you.
Please accept my deepest sympathies to your staff and the friends and family of Paul and James. Please know that I am keeping Kimberly in my thoughts and prayers during her recovery period.
Sincerely,

Dear London friends,

You have been in my thoughts and prayers all week...I know it's been a really difficult and painful time for you, I've been so sad, and you must be feeling what I'm feeling tenfold. I never met James, but from everything I've heard I don't doubt that he was a wonderful man. I only met Paul a few times, but he was so special he made an impression in my life.

The first time we met was in London, he was the cameraman for a live shot in Kensington Garden on the anniversary of Princess Diana's death. Ingrid Seward and some other royal biographer were the guests, and the crowds weren't too pleased to see the pair analyzing their beloved Princess...they started closing in on us, pushing, yelling and screaming...so much so that NY had to dump out of the live shot... I got very nervous, and was literally pushing the crowd back, and turning white from the fear...afterwards, Paul just teased and laughed at me, saying, dearie you're in Kensington, there's nothing to be afraid of here, this isin't Kosovo. He was such a big, strong, fearless man, he seemed invincible to me, I can't believe that he's no longer here.

I remember coming back to New York and telling my friends about all the great people in London that I had met, and Paul was one of my favorites, he was just so welcoming and engaging. I thought Paul was a wonderful man, one who I will remember always, and whose friendship I treasure.

I am so sorry for his family's loss, for your loss, for all of our loss.

Renee

Hi, Andy:

The tragedy from earlier this week still resonates with all of us, and now that a few days have past, I wanted to send my condolences and prayers to all of you at the London bureau. I have talked to a few of you over there, and I know this hasn't been easy. But we have watched from afar ... over here in Los Angeles ... and I wanted you to know that you all have handled the situation with grace and dignity and proper respect for our lost and injured colleagues.

I'm so grateful for the chance to have met Paul during my short stints in Iraq and also in Kuwait and Rome. He was a treasure, for sure. I never met James, but he seems like a real great guy. And of course, we're all pulling for Kimberly and know she's a fighter. I've met you a couple of times in Iraq, and I've seen how close you are to the crews there.

I know LA if far away, but if there is anything I can do to help out, in any way, especially with the families of Paul, James, or Kimberly, please let me know. We are all sending our thoughts and prayers their way.

Take care,

Teri Okita

dear mark and andy,

i was moved to tears by your tributes at the airport ceremony yesterday.

i join in the chorus of condolences and sympathy over the loss of paul and james. and i pray for kimberly's full recovery.

their courage and professionalism are a profound inspiration to us all.

mark.

Dear friends,

I just wanted to let you know that this afternoon I went to St. Mathews Cathedral here in Washington to offer a prayer for each of you and to light a candle in honor and memory of Paul Douglas and James Brolan. I hardly knew Paul, and did not know James. Still, my heart goes out to their families and friends and to you. Of course, I am thinking of Kimberly as you are. These are very unhappy days. I was very moved by Mark Phillips' eulogy of yesterday.

Peace be with each of you,

When I worked for CBS during coverage of the death of the last Pope and the election of the new one I met many fantastic people from all over the world. We spent every day and some evenings on the roof of the hotel near Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome and all shared the same meals and space.
I remember Paul and his smile, how could I forget ? He was always polite and helpful, or funny, as I and many others tried to provide the correspondents or anchors with updates on the news coming in or grabbed something to eat. I ran up and down from the anchor terrace on the rooftop, often handing in notes with news, so we met at least a dozen times a day!
I was on my way to the bathroom the day they elected the new Pope and had only walked down about three steps when I thought I heard church bells ringing, the signal announcing that a new Pope had been elected. I stopped briefly to listen and turned to run back to my desk. It may have looked odd because he asked me if everything was OK. I told him I thought I could hear bells ringing in the distance. He listened and said something kind like 'quick thinking....' and smiled, while people started to stare at the screens to see if the smoke coming from the Sistine Chapel was white...it was, and after that it was back to work for everyone. He was kind, probably had no idea who I was, but he always smiled !

Brian, Mark, Andy, Vim

I've been thinking about you guys so much this week. I just haven't known what to say. I never got to meet Paul or James - and that's something I truly regret. This has been awful on so many levels....and I wish I could be there with you all during this time. Please know that I and everyone here in Washington are thinking about you.

Hardy

Dear All:

It is with a heavy heart that I write you today. The excitement of my April trip has been replaced by a grief never experienced in my years at CBS.

In this latest of American wars, you in London and Tel Aviv have borne the brunt not only of the coverage but also of its risks. Now you bear the brunt in death and maiming. These are burdens no bureau should have to endure.

Yet you have endured and brilliantly so. You have surrounded the widows and children, the parents and grandchildren. You have tended to Kimberly, her parents and family. You have demonstrated an inspired teamwork despite a crushing pain. For tenacity and compassion, your collective efforts have set a new standard for the News Division.

And all this in only a handful of days. How to frame the many more ahead? I'm not sure. But this passage from writer Henry James offers one way to look down the road:

"We help each other -- even unconsciously, each in our own effort, we lighten the effort of others. Sorrow comes in great waves...but it rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us, it leaves us on the spot. We know that if it is strong, we are stronger - in as much as it passes and we remain."

With all my respect to Paul, James, Kimberly and you - their dearest colleagues,

Jennifer

Charlie Dimmock called to express her sympathy,
and remembers both Paul and James enjoying some of their gentler assignments.
They also filmed honeybees.

Wim,

What a nightmare. We've always had an event like this in the back of our minds. But who thought it would really happen. I remember back in the days when you were training Paul as your soundman. Didn't we all go together to Estonia right after the coup attempt? It's hard to comprehend that he is gone. He was so cautious, so professional. If only that convoy hadn't stopped.

I'll always remember him for his sardonic sense of humor.

My heart goes out to you and all of Paul, James and Kimberly's friends, colleagues and families. I had met James once. He seemed like a great chap. I've never met Kimberly. I just hope she makes it.

Peter

Dear Wim,

We're in shock here. The continuos bad news about our colleagues in Iraq is too devastating.
This is a little note to say that our hearts are with you and all the CBS colleagues.
As there are no words to express our feelings.

Big Hug

Maria and Philippe

allen,
just a note of condolence on paul douglas' passing. as soon as i saw his picture i was reminded of the charming affable man in a prepossessing body he was when I met him on your crew at the laureus world sports awards several years ago. i seem to recall that you worked with him often so i know his awful loss must affect you, too. i hope you find some comfort in knowing that he still conjures up warm memories for me even though our paths crossed only briefly. not everyone has that effect on others. he clearly was a special man. hope you are well.

Dear Kay and Corinna
I've just heard the terrible news and I can't believe it...I didn't know
James but I knew and hugely liked Paul, an absolute sweetheart and my heart
breaks for him and his family. I am so sorry for all of you having to cope
with this, such a tragedy. Please accept my condolences for them and I hope
and pray Kimberley gets better.

All my thoughts and prayers, Lizzy

Dear Friends,

It was with deep sadness to hear of Paul and James passing. Over the last several days our thoughts and prayers have been with you constantly. Roberta and I are praying for Kimberly's recovery. May God bless Paul, James, Kimberly and all our friends in London in their time of need.

Tom Rapier
Roberta Hollander

How are you doing???
Times like these enhances the true values of friends and colleges such as you and Paul for example.
I lost my aunt on Sunday morning (my mother's sister) then the tragedy in Iraq on monday.

Paul was often my partner / soundman. While looking through photos for pictures of my aunt and Paul I came across a snapshot of Paul and me in Iraq... We were wearing big smiles.
Funny ... When I moved to the states and eventually started workig with CBS I finally un packed my household boxes and found a set of photos ... Saw the Iraq with Paul photos and phoned Paul within a day or two. When I told him what I found he said with his "Paul Laugh", that's strange, I was just looking at those same photos 2 days ago"

Take care my friend

All the best

Ron

May I add my condolences and those of my colleagues over the sad loss of your team in Iraq.
They deserve the finest of tributes.
Once again, it sadly serves to remind us all of the dangers and sacrifices journalists face daily in pursuit of bringing the truth to others.
Our thoughts are with their families and friends.

I was so sorry to hear the news about Paul - I just can't believe it, all these years later. I've been thinking about him as such a huge but reassuring presence in Sarajevo, and at various parties at the Holiday Inn, talking about his kids.
It's been so long since I've been to any dangerous stories I keep hoping that everyone I know has also quit. Iwas such a shock to see Paul's face in the paper.
Anyway, please let me know if there are plans for a memorial service, and also how I can write to his wife.
Take care and let me know how you are,
allbest,

I had the pleasure of meeting Kimberley and Paul at the Bureau in Baghdad, enjoying their company and admiring their day-to-day guts in doing their jobs. They were extremely helpful and generous to us .

Please pass on our condolences to everyone at the Bureaux in Baghdad and London. We earnestly hope Kimberley will make a full recovery.

Please express to their families that there are people around the world who are mourning the loss of their loved ones.
I remember meeting Paul on some god forsaken remote, when he was a freelance soundman (Wim's?) He was always cheerfull, smart, and very good at what he did.
