Chisholm's brother, James 'Jay' Breuel, recited the Infantryman's Creede, and Chisholm's mother, Linda Reynolds, read a message to Chisholm's siblings in his honor. The procession from the church to the cemetery was led by Trooper Coy Morales and fellow troopers of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Gillespie County and Kerr County law enforcement, and members of the Patriot Guard and Freedom Riders.

Chisholm was born Oct. 3, 1985, in Silver Spring, MD, the son of Glenn Austin Chisholm and Linda Reynolds Chisholm. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). He has been posthumously awarded the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal. His wife, SP4 Amber Ferguson Chisholm, of Willow Springs, MO, and a medic with the U.S. Army's 1st Special Troops Battalion, was stationed about 80 miles away from her husband in Afghanistan at the time of his death.
