He could get anything with that smile. It made him one of the more popular kids in high school. He was definitely one of the cooler kids. We never figured him for a soldier.

God bless your family young brother.
Sgt. Kim, my friend. I was there for you and didn't leave you. You were there for me and save my life. I owe my life to you. I can't ever repay you. I don't know what's God planned for the life of everyones life. But it was such a heartache that I felt when you left us. We love you Kim. We miss you. You're a great soldier and a hero. You are always remembered.
You are still so dearly missed by all of us.... We Love You!
