LOVE

Daniel Wirth was a man who wanted to do everything right in his life. Daniel was honest, a patriot, a devoted father, son, brother, and husband. It took years of hard military training and education in various terrains to be selected for Germany’s KSK-Special Forces. Daniel stood behind each mission 100 percent and was committed to serving his country.

In the end, his death led to the discovery of new enemy military equipment – a rubbery type material enemy fighters were able to hide under without being detected by infrared cameras. This discovery saved countless military lives working in conflict zones. Daniel was a devoted father, son, brother and husband. Smart, proud, very funny, spoke several languages, was a structural engineer by trade. His brilliance thought process of figuring out data and his strong physical abilities was why he was asked to join the KSK- Germany’s elite Special Forces.
