Kick for Nick

[whosims1985]

I had the honor of serving with the 3rd BCT with Nick and remember the day this happened. It was my first tour as well and we learned so much about ourselves there. He was an outstanding infantryman and true hero. His legacy will always live on. RIP friend.

I just wanted to say how much of an impact Pfc Nick Madaras has had on me, and my family. He is the defintion of a hero threw many eyes including mine. There is no greater soldier and no greater son. I to have served in iraq, i remember delivering the first thing of soccer balls, to the children, this video cant even describe the look on the childrens faces, they where in tears when they got the balls, happy joyful tears. He will always be remembered.

It's hard to say that anything good can come of a 19 year old losing his life.

But if something good can come from that, this is it.

[skibicki]

such a sad tragedy to happen to such a young man

[cdoggyfizzle]

LET US PRAY!

SUCH A BRAVE KID!..GOD HAS SENT US DOWN A HERO...

Thank you so much Nick, you have no idea how many people you inspired!

In Jesus name......I pray...AMEN!

True but if he didn't want to go Iraq

he wouldn't have gone

I am glad I live in a country where we don't support such actions

Funny how nothing of this sort is broadcast on the major media sites.. they only report the negative and what they feel they need to broadcast to help their agenda.. this is a great story and i am going to contribute through baysl (brandon area youth soccer league) in the Brandon Florida Area.. lets not just comment on this but donate and really bring Nick's Wish to life.. God Bless Nick and all the soldiers that have given their life and are in harms way. let them not be forgotten.

[asefati]

RIP Nick.

[steve88775]

Beautiful story. Does anyone know how i could help contribute?

[Codeezy523]

Hey my dad and i are collecting balls in florida.(two comments above yours)You can contribute any way you want to. Right now, were collecting balls and cash donations. The cash donations will be used to buy balls.

Thank you.

[brittanaider]

This video is sad!): why are all the great people that go to Iraq the ones that die? They showed this at my school and when my class was watching it I could hear people sniffing...I'm not a person who cries a lot but if I was I would have been crying!

Nick your great! R.I.P

[killzit]

Did you intend to say "all of the great people that go to Iraq die." Meaning all of the ones who don't die are not great people? Hope not.

[brittanaider]

No what I was meaning is that a lot of great people go to iraq and never come back. but everyone who goes is great

[KariyaFan9]

the brother who got the flag at nick's funeral goes to my school

[TKEryan21]

I hate it when people in this country talk bad on soccer. Maybe this will show how soccer is much more than a sport in alot of peoples heart and across countries
