  • I was in the same unit as CPL Andrew Wilfahrt and i knew him very well. He was the ideal soldier. He never talked bad about anyone and he always had your back. He is and will always be missed by his team, squad and company. May Andrew C. Wilfahrt rest in peace. To the Wilfahrt family I am sorry for your lost of a great fried, great and soldier and a even better son.

  • Your son is a hero, thank you for bringing him into this world. God bless you, your son, and your family. Thank you for your sons service to our country, Thank you for his life ensuring the safety of us all.

  • Politics is moot for this serviceman and his family. I hold them in my prayers and in my heart. I know the hurt of a child lost too soon. I pray peace for them.

  • R.I.P brother.

  • Who the fuck disliked this?

  • I'll be honored to have a friend like him!!!

    people like Andrew is what makes our country a better society.

  • Andrew is a true hero.

    god bless him and his family.

  • IN MY EYES THIS MAN IS A HERO.

    FOR WHATEVER IT MEANS I SALUTE HIM . I'VE NEVER SERVED

    HE MAKES ME FEEL PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN (GAY OR NOT) WHICH IS A FEELING THAT HAS BEEN WAVERING FOR ME THE PAST DECADE.

    I WISH I COULD SAY TO HIM "THANK YOU" IN THE MOST HEART-FELT MANNER BUT I GUESS IT WON'T MAKE MAKE MATTERS BETTER ANYWAY. HE PARENTS DESERVE TO BE PROUD.

  • Heartbreaking. ='( If only this were required viewing for the entire band of GOP hatemongering legislators, most of whom haven't spent a day in the military.
