He was my rackmate in MCT, funniest dude I've met. When I heard the news that he passed I was devestated. My prayers go out to his family. Rest In Peace brother.
I am home a few years now. Seeing and learning of A BROTHER passing never gets easier, nor should it. He is forever a United States Marine 🇺🇸.... My condolences to ALL FAMILY MEMBERS. SEE YOU IN VALHALLA BROTHER.. SEMPER FI 🙏 🇺🇸
Dear God! I feel for this family! The same scenario…We lost our boy in Iraq, 2004. He had just turned 18 and enlisted. He was killed covering his platoon as they were escaping an ambush. He was a hero! Time may heal the wound but the pain stays. We were and are still so proud of him! God bless this family!
Rip, sounds like a good young man, not many would do so they’d run but he chose to give his life for others🙏🏽. I leave this Thursday I’m also 18, I hope I have a cool story like your son🙏🏽
@@Walker-ow7vj most peoples sons die because they pick the wrong life, many die not being honored. Her son put his life on the line for others and if that’s not bad ass then idk what it is. It takes a different type of man to give his life up for the sake of others that’s pretty hard core to me. Don’t be so touchy, we all know the risk joining the military.
@dude dog yeah if you live in the USA I hope you rot with the devil....bad karma is coming to you, if you served in the military during peace time, it is still service
My brother was a marine too I know the Marines hymn! From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles on land and on the sea, first to fight for rights and freedom and to keep our honor clean, we are proud to claim the title the United States Marine! Once a marine, always a Marine! God bless you all!
He passed at such a young age; but he WAS A MARINE; If he had deployed into harms way, I am most confident he would have proven his WARRIOR status in a very short time! To his family; God Bless You, and may God comfort you during this most difficult time. And most of all; Thank You for raising another one our most dedicated American Warriors!!! 🇺🇸
Depending on why he got a heart attack and died, actual combat might have just had him die on the battle field suddenly of said aforementioned heart attack. If he didn't have those issues he would have been a great soldier for sure. Shame really but it's great that the country is honoring him for his service.
@@genericscout5408 aortic rupture, not heart attack. An aortic rupture can cause a heart attack, but it can kill a person without causing a heart attack too. What killed him is a toxic culture we create were a young Marine thinks seeking medical care is going to be seen as a sign of weakness or laziness.
We have all seen numerous war movies like Private Ryan but there is one movie every patriot needs to watch. I have at least a half dozen times and never without tears in my eyes. Taking Chance is about something most folks don't know or even consider. How our fallen military men are respected after their death and how they are transported home.
As a proud Vet 100 years ago back when the Army was unforgiving and lead by powerful men. I worked with the Marines when I came back to the states helping train them to transition to the M1 Tanks. I learned Marines are tough. Total respect. RIP young Marine God speed to you and yours. Way to young, way to healthy. This makes one ask many questions.
From a now old veteran who was one of the last of the draftees. I am gutted by your loss. You did what most young men today can not & will not do. I am awed & honored by your selfless patriotism, and indebted to your family for their sacrifice. God be with them now. And I wish you peace...
Thank-You for Your Service Gabriel🇺🇲 You are Loved by many & will be missed & never forgotten❤ Thank-You also to All who are Serving or have Served🇺🇲 R.I.P Gabriel.
This brings tears to my eyes. For those that don’t know: A promotion on the 2nd day of the month means a meritorious promotion in the Marine Corps only given to very few who stand out above the rest. Versus a normal promotion given on the first of the month. He was promoted March 2nd. Oohrah Devil Dog!! Thank you for your service. 😢 -Sgt Brown
Till Valhalla brother. My condolences go out to the marines friends, family, loved ones, service members, and any one else effected by this loss. 0621 ❤ camp lejeune much love!
Thank you to the Puhalla family for bringing up this fine young man who was taken from you, and America too soon. So much potential, so much love for his country, that not many kids his age cannot match what Lance Corporal Puhalla has shown. 💔🇺🇲🙏 Rest in Peace young Brother-In-Arms, SEMPER FI DEVIL DOG❤️🇺🇲❤️ ~ Retired SFC/US ARMY.
As an Iraq/Afghanistan veteran my salute to you sir and thank you for doing what most people won’t. RIP and there’s good company waiting in the wings for us and some great conversations that I’m looking forward to myself.🫡🫡🫡🫡 To the family of this gentleman and fellow service member, thank you so much for giving us this fine individual and specimen of a man for others to look up to and follow in his footsteps. I truly am sorry for your loss and my heart and prayers are with you all
What an incredible role model this young man turned out to be... My son is 19 just graduated and wants to be a Marine just like you.. you're an inspiration to us all and we thank you for your service
This young man was a shining light, too good for this world. Everyone who knows and loves him, plus the rest of us who just know of him-we are all blessed by his example and his service.
Family, friends, brothers and sisters of Marines. My son is in Camp Pendalton and another headed to PI next month. Once a Marine always a Marine. Rest in Peace

Tony & Susan here, God bless your family. I am shaken and moved by this story. It is so close to my experience , I joined the marine's in 1978 at 17yrs of age. Went to 29 palms for radio school MOS 2500 and got station at Camp Lejeune . I usually check any Marine Corps news. Your loss is our loss. I am sure he was awesome and a great looking marine , should have been on the recruiters poster.
What a loss for our country… he will live on forever through the marine corps. I can’t imaging the loss his family is feeling. I prey they find comfort in knowing how proud the country is off his service
Semper Fi RIP It’s never easy loosing a son tragically ! I have.. I also seen many lost I’m a ff medic ,that all said I can I understand pride ! The spirit of a Marine & Marines dad.
