Nathaniel E. DeTample may have been small in stature, but not in courage.
“All 130 pounds of Nate were always ready to stand tall and take on someone twice his size,” said the Rev. David Farina, pastor of the Calvary Full Gospel Church.
DeTample, 19, of Morrisville, Pa., died Aug. 9 in Bayji after coming under attack. He was based in Philadelphia.
A wrestler, an Eagle Scout and a criminal justice major at Shippensburg University, DeTample impressed all with a dogged willingness to serve.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Nate and his family. Nate attended school with me however i only knew him only though wrestling. I am a senior at pennsbury as of now so i attend school with your other son. Frankie was my cousin and was along side Nate. I believe they were called to war for a reason that is they were then called to Heaven. Together they faught, together they die, together they will look down on us, together they will rest in peace, together they will wait for our arivle to the Heavens above. Remember they died doing what they loved and they died for their country and family as well. They will always be missed and NEVER forgotten. They are both in my heart and forever they will stay. love you guys always

Once again, i'm sorry for the death of your son and i hope as years go by you all get better. Thanks for listening.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Nate and his family. This world has lost an amazing person. I remember in elementary school, we put on a Thankgiving play. We all did mini-speeches in pairs and nate was my partner. I'll always have that memory. He will truly be missed.

Maya Angelou once said " When people show you who they are believe them." I was Nate's 5th grade teacher and even in 5th grade he showed me the kind of kid he was , always respectful and always smiling. He loved the Philadelphia Eagles and he loved life. Nate showed me who he was and I believed him. Rest in peace Nate!
