"Bruce I was sitting in my office making a hot pocket and could not help but htink about you. That was our favorite food to eat in the barracks back in 2003. I remember going with you to the game stores, going food shopping at the commissary with you, most importantly I remember the mentor you were to me. I came in the army at age 18, you watched like a brother, and for that i'm in your debt. Thanks for the memories, you are gone but never forgotten."

"Bruce you are the definition of a true friend. Ive thought long and hard about our memories of the past. You were always there for me always listening to my problems I was having. I miss you brother so much. You were a true friend you never judged anyone. You listened to everyone's problems.
I remember when you and I went to Jimmy's house in Portland what an awesome time we had. The laughs we had that night. I will always remember you. As a great person and you will live forever in my heart."

"How touching to read the comments after all this time. Bruce, you are not forgotten, never will be.
Rest in peace."

"Although I may not have been in his squad or platoon, Bruce was a friend. He was somebody that I could talk to and relate to. I only wish that he were still here today. He would offer a joke if I felt down, and lend an ear if I needed to talk. Of all the people that I knew that are gone, I think I will miss him the most. If anybody would like to contact me, please feel free to e-mail me at tkblade200@yahoo.com"
