It's a sad day when we loose any of our soldier's in the war, but this story is just so touching to me & close to home (living in AZ).

This is so sad, he was a wonderful person. He was playing football at ASU when I was in the marching band there, and he was just such a well balanced individual. He actually turned down some major offers from pro teams so he could be in the military. What a hero.

What's even worse is that he was set to return home next week!
What a great guy and an inspiration~

I've been watching the coverage all day here and this is so sad. He was truly a hero.

What an incredible person - as all our soldiers are - gave up a $3 ++ million extension in his contract, refused to give interviews/pics while serving (wanted to be treated like a soldier not a celebrity) - I'm sure the list goes on and on.
