Thank Sgt. Brian Leonhardt for your ultimate sacrifice serving our country. My heart goes out to your wife and family. The best part of the video was seeing you being baptised. So that means your family will see you again in heaven. Thank again for your service.

@karadjordje5 Im sorry, even if you may not believe in this war, this man's life was not wasted. He served his country proudly, he was killed while you we're sleeping safely in your warm bed. My dad was his Platoon Sergeant, my father is still over there fighting to keep the US safe, while you don't even give a damn.

R.I.P. Spc. Brian Leonhardt, from one Guard family to another. To the family of Brian, this is wonderful tribute to what seemed to be a amazing guy and it's a shame that Indiana lost another brother. Your military family will remember him always and forever.

In my time in the U.S. Army, I did not know SGT Leonhardt, but I will keep a place for him in memory, for the sacrifice he has made. Great video.

This video is beautifully done. My heart goes out to the family - brothers, his wife, & fellow members of the 713th Engineer. May you find comfort in your memories and love for this young hero. Prayers & thoughts are with you.

[nfuego22]

Thanks to all that provided services in the last few days for Sgt Leonhardt - police, fire depts, & Indiana Patriot Guard. A very special thanks to all those that came out of their businesses, stood roadside, pulled over their vehicles, got out of their vehicles - stood saluting or hand over heart - thank you for taking a moment to pay tribute to this young fallen hero. The respect you showed this soldier and his family today - truly the honor they deserve for their ultimate sacrifice.

Watching this again outside of the church is still as moving as it was the first time. Leonhardt family my deepest sympathies go out to you. -Jason Huckaby
