It saddens us to announce that Maine has lost another hero.
At this time the DoD has not released the young hero information; the Governor of Maine has released the following:
PFC Buxbaum was killed in Afghanistan which has been confirmed by his aunt, Laurie Wood, a South Portland High School teacher. Justin had served two previous tours in Iraq.
Ms. Wood told reporters Tuesday that the family was informed on Memorial Day of his death but has no further details at this point.
PFC Justin Buxbaum’s mother, and younger brother had been living in South Portland but moved to Georgia earlier this winter.
At this time, Ms. Buxbaum wants her son’s body returned to Maine, but no details have been confirmed.

Our Heart and Prayers go out to the family and friends of our Hero.
PFC Justin Buxbaum, Thank you for your service to our country.
Justin, "We will Never Forget"

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of PFC Justin Buxbaum. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Justin.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
