We lost Kristian to a cowardly group who hides in the night. All I have to say is that I will avenge my cousin.
Legacy Liberty Unites visitor
May GOD lay his vengence upon those responsible for taking Kris and Thomas away from us. I dont know you Kris, but I have things in common with you. We share the same birthday and you closely resemble my youngest brother and your young wife carries the same name as my brothers Gf. I think about you often and hope you are always in Gods presence. Miss you Bro!

It's so sad a life we value so much must be lost at times, but this one I believe, was lost for a gain, that in return for a hero's death, the freedom, respect and security of mankind are maintained and protected, thus the very dear price for the defence of the values of humanity.
Rest in Peace
Legacy Liberty Unites visitor
I am very sorry for your lost. My son Micheal is also in the 101 airborne and knew your son. It's a tragedy to lose your life at such a young age, but he died doing the job that he chose,and if he is anything like Micheal he is very proud to be part of the 101. My families thoughts go out to you.
Legacy Liberty Unites visitor
i am so sorry to hear about the death of young Manchaca and his friends, no soldier deserves to die in the way you did, my thoughts go out to your family and friends. on behalf of the british 2nd battalion the princess of wales's royal regiment. (UK DIV)
Legacy Liberty Unites visitor
what a horrible death for this young good man to have died. No one deserves to die as he had. He died a hero in defense of the freedom we all hope for and desire in troubled parts of the world like Iraq. If we stop our efforts in the fight against these terrorist barbarians, we only cheapen Kristians death. My prayers and condolences to the family and friends of this patriot. phil phmart32@yahoo.com
