Really sucks. Wish i was closer. It would be worth missing a day in the motor pool.

Little dude was more patriotic than over half our our adult population.

Hopefully some veterans show up.

Rest in peace little army man. I’m sorry your short life had to be so hard.

That's heavy, wish I wasn't all the way out here I'd be there in a heartbeat. RIP little guy. I'm going to take the rest of the night off and think about this one.

I hope they get an overwhelming turnout and a fly over if it's possible. Poor kid, damn.

I saw this on Instagram yesterday. I am in Arkansas but unfortunately i was never in the military.

It is damned hard not to cry openly, thinking about how thankful I am for the health of my grandkids, and how terrible the past 3 years must have been for this family.

If anyone has any pull at the Pentagon, this would be an appropriate time to use a little of it and get this young man some kind of recognition, posthumously, IMHO.

Be nice if the Army sent an honor guard for him. Someone should tip off the Army for a PR opportunity.

I sent a suggestion to the army post at Little Rock, AR. Hopefully they can send a detail to honor this young American.

I posted it in the Louisiana HTF - Camden is pretty close to the state line.

About 2 hours from Bossier City and Barksdale. It's a little late for B-52, but I have a couple of people to call.

Prayers for his family. Hope someone in the area can pull some strings. Tremendously sad and at the same time thankful for the health of loved ones. God speed little buddy.

I wonder if thre's time to get the AR Air Guard at Ft Smith or the C-130 unit at Little Rock AFB could swing a training flight over the services?

Hit up the local recruiting offices/MEPS and see if they can have some folks attend.
