Kevin J. Hilaman, 28

Kevin will be missed, was a great dad, he leaves Ben, who @ 10 knows he has no Dad anymore.
Kevin touched more people than he knew. He was looking forward to being home in September.
His birthday was the day after he was killed, I hope he knew we were thinking of him here @ home.

Kevin was a great friend and brother. We all love and miss him very much.

RIP Kevin. My sincere condolences to Sarah, Ben, Bernie, April and family(s).
Kevin will be missed, remembered forever and appreciated by family, friends and Americans. Thank you for serving so we can all Live Free. Amen

Kevin was one guy that will truly be missed. They say it always happens to the best, and in this case it really did. A great friend, and awesome soldier, he will definitely be missed.

Kevin was, is and always will be one of my most dearest friends. His humor was magic. You could be having the worst day and he could bring you to your knees laughing in an instant. I will always keep you in my heart my friend. You helped make the world a better place and I am so honored to have had you in my life. Love and miss you buddy.

I love you, son.... He will be missed.

we must remember freedom is not free.
It is our young and old soldiers that keep us this way. god bless his soul. and hope that he may live in the hearts of many.

Kevin, Our country is great because of what you gave for it, but our world will always be alittle darker without you in it. I love you little brother, I will never forget you!!

Kevin was a great friend, my brother-in-arms, and an excellent infantryman. It was always cool working with him downrange, cause no matter what, he always had something funny to say. I'ma miss you brah, you'll always be remembered.

I didn't really know Kevin. I wish I had known him. Kevin, hopefully life in Valhalla is good!!

I was Kevin's platoon leader on the day he was killed. I want his family, friends, and anyone who sees this to know that Kevin was looked up to by every man in the platoon, and was an inspiration to us all. Hilarious, compassionate, and thoughtful, Kevin died repulsing the enemy from a nearby hillside, and he saved others' lives by what he did that day. We in 3rd platoon think of and miss him every day, and we owe him everything.

I just want to thank my ex husband Bernie for raising such an amazing son. I am sorry I wasnt there for Kevin but so grateful his dad was. I am so very proud of my son. Love you always and forever, pamela reid. your mom

THANK YOU!!!!!!! For your sacrifice, words do little to describe our sincere gratitude. However, There is a hope for a future where such wonderful people will not have to die in the wars of the world. ISAIAH 2:4 And he will certainly render judgment among the nations and set matters straight respecting many nations and set matters straight respecting many peoples. And they will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore....REV 21:3,4-"death will be no more"
