My deepest condolences. I have a son who was born June 9, 2004 so this hits home for me seeing how young Tyler was. i´m sure you all are very proud of Tyler as I am for serving our country although I didn´t know him I´m sure he had great character If the first thing he wanted to do when he got of age was to serve our country. He must´ve been a great addition to our arm forces as he looks so proud Wearing the army uniform. Rest in peace Young man and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
