My condolences.  This brave American is a hero, and  I will tell my children about his honor and sacrifice.  My name is also Kareem,  from California,  and I couldn't help but look closer into this young man's life.  The best truly do go young.  He showed more integrity in 20 years than most do in a lifetime. 

May God bless the family for producing such a wonderful son.  It takes a village, and you don't become a man like Kareem without the support, guidance, and examples of parents. We will continually share his name and remember his service within our family, in solemn appreciation.

Kareem Weaver, Citizen

I’m thinking about your family and praying for you today.

Still praying for your family. For some, there’s no getting over, or getting through, there’s just going on. My time in the corps was  over 45 years ago, but sometimes it seems as real as today. Just keep going on. 

When you got to heaven Kareem I know you were met by my Marine dad with the strongest handshake .  When it comes to our military guys you all have a special place in our hearts.  My niece Laramie was your friend.  Now you live forever.  
Sincerely
The Henkenius Family

Sending my heartfelt condolences to Kareem’s Family.  Please know The Nation mourns with you and I will continue to pray that God is with you in the days and years ahead.   It never gets easier.  We will never forget the News of that incredibly sad day in Afghanistan.  We have shed tears at the huge loss of our Military Members.  Please know we will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that should have never occurred.  A Nation stands with you in your incredible grief.  May God Bless you .. Semper Fidelis 

Thank you for your service dear Kareem!
You are forever in our Holly Avenue hearts!

I would like to express my extreme condolences to this family and especially the mother and father.of Lance corporal Kareem Nikoui. 
Semper Fidelis means always faithful. I come from a career marine family. My brother was killed in Vietnam. Anytime we lose a brother we all feel the pain. I'd like to let you know I was there when they brought the body home from Ontario Airport and through your small little community of Norco California and since that day I have never seen anything like what I saw yesterday . What respect, what beauty, what love from a whole community of people, neighbors and strangers. The beauty in having a whole Community to support and rally around you was an emotional site. May God shine his light upon you and your son. Semper Fi  and rest in peace. 

To Nikoui family,
With our hearts broken for your son and Rest of the other soldiers doing their duties saving life’s. Our most deepest condolences and prayers for your son. He will not be forgotten just like our Laredo, Tex  Hero Lance David Lee Espinoza too. 
May the perpetual light shine upon him and Rest In Peace Our Hero Kareem.

Hello, My name is Renee Vasquez.  I don't know the family,  but I want to express my deepest sympathy and condolences to The Parents.  Especially his mother,  I  too know the  pain of losing a son in a  horrific way 😢.  I  can  only understand what you are going through.  I know you are very emotional and don't know what to feel...there is a  hope for all of us. God's promise 🙏.  John 5:28,29.     Rev 21:3,4... Mother to mother, this is what has given me comfort and the hope that I need to be ok. 

I do not know this brave man personally, I may not know his family, but I know he served his country with honor. I offer my deepest condolences.  The entire nation morns his loss with you, and is eternally grateful that he stood for our nation.

Words can not express how  much my heart aches. I don't know the family but consider anyone in the Military my own and hold them near and dear to my heart.  My deepest condolences. 

I wanted to express my sincerest condolences to you and your family. My heart breaks for you at the loss of Kareem. Your Son was a hero,and I know others share in your loss.  May he find a gentle peace and rest. May the Almighty comfort you at this time. Please remember the World remembers what took place on that day in Afghanistan, and we will not make them responsible forget. I live in North Carolina, but just had to send you a note. I have written to both my Senators expressing such.

I don’t know your son but wanted you to know that Millions of people are so sorry about your loss. I live in Oklahoma and I’m a 20 year Veteran and your son and the other 12 that were lost are the subject of people’s everyday discussions across this nation. Know that he was the very finest of this great nation and you should be comforted by knowing millions of us will make sure he’s not forgotten. God bless him and your family.

For each of you mourning the death of Kareem while celebrating his courage and selfless service, may you be comforted by knowing that his story and his service are remembered by a grateful nation. To those he was helping in Afghanistan, he was a hero! Military families carry a heavy burden for our country and I thank you for supporting Kareem in achieving his goal. The price was dear! God bless you. Catherine Tanner

Our deepest condolences to the family. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this extremely difficult time.

My sincere condolences for the loss of your son.  While only parents who have also lost children in this manner know your pain, millions of Americans mourn your son and his fellow service men.   We appreciate their bravery and selfless commitment to serving our country.   They are what makes this country great.  May you find comfort in knowing that strangers mourn with you.
