Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.Posted: 5/18/2013 by The Maynard Family of Chelmsford, MA, Mr and Mrs DeMeo, Nathan, Pascal, Danya and the DeMeo Family. We are hearbroken to hear of Paul's passing. Paul was destined to be a true leader, as observed when he was Cadet Commander of Pinkerton's JROTC program, graduating from West Point, and being Commissioned as an Officer in the US Army. He was an inspiration to a great many who had the honor of knowing him, and being able to call him their friend. Paul was an Officer and a Gentleman, and a Protector of our Freedom, where we will be eternally greatful for all his sacrafices during his short time on Earth.
Heaven is a safer place, now that God has him to help guard the gates. May God bless all of you, and hold you in his hands through this difficult time.Posted: 5/19/2013 by Steve and Bobby Welch and the Welch Family of Derry, NH, USA Dear Paul and Family,

What an impressive young gentleman, particularly to have accomplished so much in his 23 years. Reading this man's story makes me proud to be an American. You produced a fine man. Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Posted: 5/25/2013 by Tim Baranowski of Methuen, MA, United States Dear De Meo Family,
I just got off Skype with my son, Steven Gregor, who graduated from West Point with your son and brother. Steven is in Afghanistan and this was the first time we have spoken since he left at the end of April. He is so saddened by Paul's death. He remembers Sandhurst practices and many other good times with Paul and wants to send his condolences to all of you. Please accept mine as well. From what Steven told me today, I know that Paul was a fantastic person and a good friend.Posted: 5/26/2013 by Lisa Gregor of Itasca, IL, Lucienne & Paul and Family,
