A friend of Walsh's posted a tribute video to him today on YouTube. Sgt. Salazar wrote:
I would like to share the life of SPC Walsh while on our deployment and how he greatly impacted so many soldiers in many ways. Hey Walsh, I will continue to capture all these special moments in life with my camera but will miss every time you said, "Hey Salsa" and posed for a picture... You will be missed but never forgotten.
