Man, its 2013 and we would have been retired together now seven years. Man, I still remember seeing you walk through the rocks of Mosul going to visit ppl within the platoon. Your missed with in my heart, comrade. I Wish you could have enjoyed retirement as I am right now. Keep Heaven laughing till we meet again, brother. :\..."

"Brian,
Words cannot mention how much I missed talking to you and that morning when I was woke up from my bunk to come meet 360th when your convoy was coming in and finding out that you and PFC Arcand were killed in a rollover. Knowing that you finally had gotten your promotion and that you were leaving your wife and beautiful daughter behind was heartbreaking. I miss backbone and all the soldiers that served with us, but, you my friend I will never forget along with PFC Eldin Arcand, SGT Lizbeth Robles and SGT Negron, everyone of them outstanding soldiers. My heart goes out to all of these families and fellow soldiers, God Bless. Backbone!!!!"
