Thousands came to pay their respects Monday at the public funeral service for U.S. Navy Corpsman Maxton Soviak, who was killed last month in a terror attack in Afghanistan.
Members of the U.S. Navy Ceremonial Guard from Washington, D.C. carried Soviak’s casket onto the field for the public service, which was held at the Edison High School football stadium in Milan. Soviak played for the Chargers while attending the high school, and his old No. 27 was painted in orange near both end zones.
Soviak was among the 13 U.S. military members and more than 150 Afghans killed in the Aug. 26 terror attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul. He was 22 years old.
