David was a good friend of mine in high school. He was a very kind, determined and hard working man. He will be missed very much!

My husband knows this soldier and was stationed with him in Afganistan when he died. He always spoke well of your son and we are very sorry to hear about this sad news. The 508th lost a great soldier in him.
