"That's my platoon leader, please take care of him."

Posted By Blackfive

1LT Brian Bradshaw is remembered by the flight crew who carried him from Bagram.

Brian was killed on the same day that a "celebrity" died.  Flight crew wanted to let Brian's family know about how his other family treated him.

For one brief moment, the war stopped to honor Lt. Brian Bradshaw. This is the case for all of the fallen in Afghanistan. It is our way of recognizing the sacrifice and loss of our brothers and sisters in arms. Though there may not have been any media coverage, Brian's death did not go unnoticed. You are not alone with your grief. We mourn Brian's loss and celebrate his life with you. Brian is a true hero, and he will not be forgotten by those who served with him.
