"I served with Brad in Germany during the first gulf war....he was an amazing soldier and a close friend of mine. We drifted apart after I left germany so I only recently found out about this. It doesnt matter, I cried like a damn baby, like it was yesterday I could see my friends face and died a little bit inside while thinking of what he went through in his passing...I want to pass my thoughts and love to his family. Brad was an amazing man...always first to finish the pt runs and helped me with wrestling that would translate to hand to hand...i loved him and will never forget him. RIP Brad."
Jeff Ollerich. of Kansas city MO.

"To the Family of Sergeant First Class Fox,

I used to live upstairs from you all in Butzbach and I remember your family very well. You were always so nice you even helped me name my first pet. I used to play at the park behind the apartments with Lucas and Jan. Its been seven years and I myself was too young to understand and say I am sorry for your loss and proud to have met Mr. Fox. I am a Midshipman at the Naval Academy now hoping to become an Officer in Marine Corps. Every day we are asked who or what inspires us to do our best and what are we fighting for and Sergeant First Class Fox's Legacy is one of my many inspirations. I hope you all are doing well.

Very Respectfully,

"Hey there Brad,

Just like Jason and John, we were OC's together in Fort Polk, LA and I arrived in Iraq the day before we lost you. You were a great guy and not only the Army, but the world itself lost a great person that day. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers and not a day goes by that you are not in my heart. Take care until we meet again.

I am committed to loving ALL people, myself and our environment. I am committed to working on my happiness everyday because so many have died for my freedom to live my life. Thank you is not enough but it is all I have. All my love and respect. ogersteiner@yahoo.com

"SFC Fox, Kuwait was a mess when we got there as part of 1st Armored Division Advance Party. We were the first senior NCOs from 1AD to get to Camp Udari/Beuhring in April 2003. Fighting sand storms, acquiring tents, (and tried to keep them standing), cots and supplies for the main body. I couldn’t have done it without you, your steadfast dedication and leadership. RIP Brother. God Bless. 23 May 2009"

"I only knew SFC Fox for a little while. We were both stationed in Friedberg Germany in 1-36 Infantry. He was an incoming Platoon Sergeant and I was an out-going Platoon Sergeant. It was my job to in-process him and show him the ropes before he took over his platoon. I grew to know him as the days, weeks and months went by. He is truely an incredible human being. I miss my commrade, my fellow Platoon Sergeant and my friend. My heart and friendship go out to his family. Take care and God Bless America."

"Brad,

Your were a true American Soldier and a friend. We were stationed together when I was with 1/36th IN in Friedberg, Germany and I'll never forget you, buddy. When I arrived on the advance party for the battalion in Kuwait last May, you welcomed me and told about all the crap you doing since you got there. Thanks. I last saw you on Bandit Island before I PCSd back to the states, joking around as usual. You will be truly missed by all that knew you and the world will be a little less brighter without you here with us. I just found out the other day that you passed away from an injury you recieved back in March. Wish I had know sooner to pray for your recovery but I now I will pray for your soul. Watch over our friends in Iraq and your loving family. Take care amigo."
