SPC Torres, Manuel here serving on my second tour of duty in Iraq. I say that to say this, the civilian pallbearer seriously fucked everything up. He shouldn't have been there, they were doing fine move the fallen to the vehicle and there was no need to that silly little yellow thing that he pulled out or for him to be anywhere. All that did was make it look like they didnt know what they were doing. Just had to vent.

Bud I hope you are not talking about that hero who gave the ultimate sacrifice? I would love to put my hands around your neck and squeeze your brain out of your head!!!! PROUD VETERAN AND STILL SERVING!!!!
as a soldier you cant help but feel like maybe, just maybe had you been there in theatre with him, he would have came home and hugged his momma one more time, or went fishin with his dad and brothers one more time, he wont ever be forgotten, his sacrifice and his familys sacrifice wont ever be forgotten, he stands among the proudest soldiers in heaven now, the family can rest easy knowing that every night he is in the best of hands, and he will never ever suffer again
makes me thank god everyday that i still have my sister here on earth she is one of the greatest people i have ever met couldnt imagine being here without her. i dont know what it is like to lose a father bother or a sister or a mom, it must be hard, i feel for all of those out there who have lost some one in battle no matter what was. If they were protecting our freedom and died in the line of fire they are truly an american hero and deserved to be recognized for there unfortunate fatal payment
They joined for many reasons, to march, to sail, to fly; they went where they were
posted but nobody joins to die. Their leaders talk on TV; what else could
we have done? But those leaders lost no daughters and none has lost a
son. So here's to all our soldiers wherever they may be and here's to all their families, I rais...e my glass to th...ee. RIP to all the fallen soldiers xoxoxo
How can anyone watch and not have a broken heart for his loss, for the grief his family and loved ones must endure and for all our brave men and women who have fallen in combat. Thank you and rest in peace.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. It is heart breaking to watch, To the family of Sgt. Steven M Packer may God's comfort always be upon you. Thank you Sgt Steven Packer
Im honored to be the wife of a US Soldier....to the family of Sgt Packer, we thank you for sharing the life of your loved one w/ us! His honor shall for ever live inside each of us..his light will forever burn bright to a greatful nation! Hoooah AIRBORNE
REST IN PEACE MY Fallen comrade, Know that we will never forget you and know that will continue the mission..Be at peace and know that you have done your duty! HOOOAH!
As a member of the U.S. Army 1/128th infantry I must say this is a beautiful video, and I wish the Family Of Sgt. Steven M Packer a safe and prosperous life. Rest in Peace Comrade.
I'm a Canadian and have served in the past. I'm now 51 and a father of 3. I don't know Sgt. Packer but I can only feel sadness for his family and friends.
I can't even fathom the pain of those waiting for him.
I went to highschool with Steven. I remember the day he came into art class our senior year and told me that he enlisted in the army, I remember being terrified, but he was so excited about it. We had been friends since freshmen year, I moved to Denver, and I heard about this recently, I am so sad for the family, his mom, his older brother chris, and the rest of the family. he will never be forgotten by my neither my family or I. Thank you steven for your dedication to our country.
The fallow ground of liberty must be replenishing by the blood of patriots that those who do nothing may yet know freedom. Sgt Steven M. Packer was such a patriot and we are enriched by his sacrifice and service. I will make sure my grand-daughters remember his sacrifice for them and all who live under the umbrella of freedom provided by such men and women. It is often asked, "where do we get such men as this?" I say they are the sons and daughters of America. God Bless and keep you Sgt. Packer.
this video is more funny then normal video! my names Kayla, kinda feelin bored if any1 wants to join me on cam or wana chat i will be signed on at __ FriendlyFlirts(.COM) __ my user ID there is Kayla_zxuqorgutb chat soon xx its FR33 to j0in! mwah
I am SPC Cody Long, I am currently serving my second tour in Iraq and I found this video by accident because I am from the 2ND BCT 101st Airborne Division, Not SGT packer's unit but I wanted to say that his family is in my prayers and that he did not die in vain! A true hero he is and will always be and I never had to meet him to come to that conclusion! AIR ASSAULT SGT PACKER!
this video brought me to tears, knowing that a hero left us so soon, yet also knowing what he did for our country that makes him a hero. if more men and women could be like him, then the work could be done by so many more and there would be such higher morale in this country. thank you Sgt. Packer, for your brave service!
God bless this family , & RIP Steven . This video made me cry , I know every family with active military serving feels that same ache in their heart while watching this . Steven left this world & is now counted amongst heroes . All of us will one day leave this world , but only a few of us will leave as a hero !
Thank you all, daguy and especially the family, i don't know you but i have not forgotten your sacrifice nor the sacrifice others have indeed made for me and mine.
My heart goes out to the family may the lord give you strength to accept your lose I cried with this video having my son in Iraq myself I cant even imagine the pain you have gone threw God bless you
daguy 585-Thank you for sending me this. I'm sorry for your loss. We want out, I know, but we can't let these brave men and women die in vain. Just end it then get out!
Clydevale its the Blood of Americans that have keep you free to say what you want! Steven knew this and Died A Hero! I am not saying anything bad about you! Its an American thing to Keep This World Free!
God Bless you Clydevale, Steven Packer! Go to Google videos to see if you look alike, type in Your Name!
Weird! this guy had the same name as me and is the same age! Im happy I live in NZ and have a government who has the sense to stay out of Iraq and doen't see fit to waste its peoples lives
My Husband is currently on his 4th deployment I pray everyday I wont see a day like this .. God bless Steven and Please Support Our troops even in you dont beleive in this war Pray for those who are over doing the Job You chose not to
My Nephew was shot in the head by a sniper while searching for missing soldiers. He would later die from these wounds. To all who have served Thank you. You are all Hero's. Check out my video tribute "pfc Matthew Bean - he was ready". Please leave a comment.
