A Day To Remember (Tissue Alert)
On June 25, 2009, this nation lost an important citizen. This individual died loved and respected by many. Most had never even met him, yet were honored just to know he was there. This individual was NOT Michael Jackson and the media largely ignored everything but!
Followers of milblogs know the name 1st Lt. Brian Bradshaw because we DID honor his passing while the rest of the nation honored a false idol. Bradshaw was never accused of molestation or any other evil deed. Bradshaw never had to pay off family member to avoid going to court. Bradshaw was a true American hero. This video was done by his mother and it saddens me that the media didn’t report these things until July 12th!!

July 13th, 2009 at 10:06 am1st Lt. Brian Bradshaw, like many others in the military, do their jobs without recognition. That is one of the many things that makes them heroes in my eyes. But they deserve more and so do their families.
The media……….hasn’t changed over the years. It is just sad. The old “if it bleeds, it leads…” and whatever gets them ratings mind set is just sad. How do they sleep at night?

First,I would like to thank you on behalf of my entire family for Brians service and dedication to our country. He gave the ultimate sacrifice, and I know in my heart that along with the grief there should be a sense of great pride. We just had a song published about Great Americans like Brian. I’d be honored to send your family some CD’s along with keeping y’all in our prayers.
God Bless,
The Berrisford Family

A good way to turn even your best “friends” in church into mindless zombies is to even suggest that the pervert who died on the same day as this hero is in Hell (which he probably is).
Thank you, all those who served. I will be joining your ranks soon. You have always been my heroes.

me very proud to be an American!!! Thank you for this post, I
have sent this on to a lot of my friends and family. THESE ARE THE KIND OF STORIES THAT SHOULD BE SHARED IN THIS COUNTRY, NOT STORIES OF SOME IRRELEVANT FREAK SHOW!

July 14th, 2009 at 7:00 pmThanks for this, CJ. I have family visiting, so I missed that on Sunday. All of us who haunt the Milblogs hear of these fine Warriors and honor their actions and their names. Prayers continue for the Bradshaw family.
