[Lvmykidos2]

I have family that live in Paris. It's an awesome little city. I'm in awe of this video and the respect they had/have for our military and our fight for freedom.

Thank you and God bless all of you who fight for our country, to those who lost the fight, but are not forgotten, and to the family whose loved ones died for our freedom.

[tlfettled]

My heart goes out to his family .

[Nodena]

As a US Army Veteran....I was there at the airport for Sgt. Hoskins homecoming...If that won't move you....You've got ice water running through your veins. I live an hour southeast of Paris and felt compeled to attend this Hero's homecoming.

[oldafnco]

rest in peace, sergeant.

you are remembered.

[RandyUnderwood2]

I never knew Sgt. Hoskins but we do have things in common. We lived an hour apart here in Texas. We both served in the United States Marine Corps. We both served during combat. But thats where it ends. Sgt. hoskins parished in a far away land. Far away from his family and loved ones. Far away from home. Sgt. Hoskins gave his life fighting for our freedom. Although he probably didn't think so, he was a true hero, America's finest, a US Marine. God Bless you brother, Semper Fidelis.

[len120453]

Semper Fi bro....May God bless you.

[dreambuilders48808]

Its Men and Women like Marine Sgt. Jay M. Hoskins that keep us safe. I thank you for your

sacrifice. God Bless You and your family.

[e28ranch]

The people in Texas are the best in the world.

Nobody stayed home in Paris this day.

[Djangovamp]

Thank you my brother in arms. No words can begin to say how much this country loves and respects you. You are now seated at the right hand of all man kinds Commander In Chief and I'm quite sure he saluted you upon your arrival home. Rest in peice Sgt Hopkins and as a spokesman for your nation - Thank You and we'll see you at the big role call.

[johnston45]

As a fellow Texan, I am so proud of the people of the area who turned out to show their support for this fallen hero. Rest in peace, Sgt. Hoskins. You will be remembered and honored as the best of what America has to offer.

Watching this video makes me feel so proud to be an American! Thanks to all of our Soldiers and Veterans for your service and the many who paid the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless all of the families and friends of our fallen heroes. Thank you SGT Jay Hoskins, I am proud of you buddy.

[kbeers63]

For those of us who were unable to attend the welcoming home of Jay Hoskins - this video was well done. God Bless this family - his precious wife, Chandler and their son and unborn child. Our thanks will never be enough for this sacrifice.

[TheRevrj]

I live in Cooper , just south of Paris. While I did not know Sgt. Hoskins it made me proud to be an American to see how the area turned out for his final journey. Semper Fi Marine! Welcome home.

[bichomau1965]

Beautifully Done. Thank you Mr. Castillo. My prayers are with Sgt. Hoskins family and friends.

[tex66]

As Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 84, Goodland Academy, I couldn't be more proud of all the boy scouts that participated from the NETSEO council! But more importantly, thank you to Sgt. Hoskins and his family for the ultimate sacrifice that he paid. The memory of his valor will surely be ingrained in us all for the rest of our lives.

[basesloaded09]

[TheTejasTex]

Very well done...Jay will be missed. This speaks for the Patriotism in Paris Texas & just shows we can put aside differences & come together for one cause! RIP Jay.

[ilikitons]

Oh what a beautiful response from the Paris Town people. They show so much love and respect. God bless Sgt Jay M Hoskins family for giving their son for our country. Sometimes we wonder if it's worth it. But this young man was doing his duty to God and his country.

[lsreid]

Thank you for this video. My prayers are with his family and friends and all who felt the loss of this young brave hero. I was there to honor him, but take notice of the truck stopped on the overpass and what appears to be the driver standing with his hand over his heart. A stranger traveling the highway that honored him on this day along with the citizens of Paris. God Bless America.

[navyseal077]

Ever look on Heaven's scenes,

They will find the streets are guarded
