His selfless duty to his country came as little surprise to those who knew him. His earliest act of service began in 2003 when our family sponsored a platoon serving in Iraq. Kyle would pass out flyers in our neighborhood asking family, friends, neighbors and local businesses to help support our troops
— Michael and Lori Coumas, parents
Coumas died Oct. 21 in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when his vehicle was attacked by a roadside bomb, military officials announced.

2 memories of Kyle
I met Kyle in October, 2008. He was the nicest, most caring guy. He loved the Army and would do anything for anyone if he could. I won't ever forget him. Its hard that someone you care about is here today and gone tomorrow and it makes you realize how precious life is. I hope that everyone will give thanks to our troops and the sacrifice they make for our freedom.
I'm sorry for what happen to him I hope the people who did this feel sorry and get the right punishment that GOD has prepared for them.
Sorry, for what happened
