Eric Thomas Paliwoda

Hello, We wanted to let your family and friends know that we are sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and some of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Eric T. Paliwoda US Army Captain. We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their...

Twenty-one years and counting and Eric's life and his memory is still touching hearts. I remember FOB Paliwoda back in Iraq and a few days came across Eric's name. I read a little bit about him and see what a remarkable impression this man left on people. My prayers are with his loved ones and I hope they are comforted that we will "Never Forget," Eric. Blessings and peace!

I still have his "Hero Bracelet" that was found in Pinellas County, Florida in 2014.

There isn't a day I don't think of my Battle Buddy, Eric you were the best, only the good die young.

I am sorry for your loss. My deep condolences. I did not know him personally, but I feel that his passing had been a great loss for many. May his deeds of bravery and care continue to live on in the hearts and memories of those who love him dearly.

I wept today...again. I think of you very very often Sir.
I tell others, including total strangers, of your sacrifice. It touches me and all those I feel compelled to share your ultimate sacrifice with. May your Beloved Fiancee', your Darling Mother, Daddy, family and friends find peace in knowing you are with God.
Your Sister in Christ, Cher.

Well I can never forget him. He will always be in my memory. I tell the story to my brothers and family all the time. So...
