We are very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Thank you John for the ultimate sacrifice while serving for our country. May John rest in peace.

To the Kihm family,

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. John will never be forgotten.

For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free

I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if...
