[rubbing2001]

First, to the Family of SPC Maldonado, thank you for sharing your son, our hero to be amongst us that can call ourselves veterans. Thanks Alexis for serving and giving your all to this great nation. Our nation is in eternal debt to you. We in the military consider all members of the military to be brothers and sisters, regardless of branch, rank, or if they gave all, or came home. God bless Alexis, his family and all service members and veterans. former SSgt Miller USAF.

[prada4meonly]

The last part is always the hardest - receiving the flag. Thank you SPC Maldonado.

[melaniekayh]

I'm glad to see our fallen soldiers shown the respect they deserve. My husband fought in Vietnam and those he knew who were killed in action did not come home to a funeral like this. I'm glad to see things have changed. RIP.

[brenda1980cris]

omg, I want to thank him and every other soldier for keeping us safe.... I know it would be hard if I were to hear my son wanting to go to the army but if that is what the believe well we need to support them..... so young, can't stand to see this.... I cried when they gave he's son he's dad's flag.... may he rest in peace always..... WILL ALWAYS BE A HERO!!!!!!

[3musketeers12127]

R.I.P i love the reckless, nonstop work to keep our nation safe, and how this man gave his life to protect us. :(

[legofreak811]

I appreciate how this man was willing to risk his life, knowing that he could die and minute, and still fight on. Thank for your service, your country appreciates it and honors your for that, Rest in Peace.

[Deetroiter]

Whether you died today or when your 80 years old, one day...we all die. This man obviously passed due to something he believed in. That's more than what 90% of most people can say. This man was a real hero and thank God for his service. A major thanks to the PGR too, they are real heros as well.

[swimneildoran]

Thank you so much for your service. Rest in peace

[TheJeepguycj5]
