sgt daniel thompson was a great human being. he never complained about tasks assigned. he always told the truth, and he was forever in a good mood. he had a great smile and had the opportunity to travel the world and serve his county. there are people who can live their whole lives and not come close to the expeiences he had in his too short life. he will be missed.

sgt daniel thompson has affected the soldiers he served with in massive ways. he had a great sense of humor and always did the right thing. his integrity is a rarity. his parents should feel honored, as he honored them. may he be blessed eternally for his sacrifice, his selfless service. he will forever be a part of me and those that he served with.
God bless you Dan and God bless those you left behind.
