My brother was KIA in Iraq he was part of the 10th mountain division. If there is anyway I could talk to you it would mean a lot to me. I don't know if you knew him but if you did I would love to hear any stories you might have. It's a part of his life I know nothing about.

I guess I should add that he was 3-6 FA. Might help as far as chances of actually knowing or meeting him.

He only served 1 year. He was killed 5-11-06. He was 18 years old. I appreciate everyone helping me. It means more then you would know. He was home on leave around 2 months before it happened. He was in north Carolina with my family. I talked to him on the phone a few days before he went back. He begged me to drive down. It's about 9 hours from me. I had to work and I didn't go. It's the biggest regret of my life. I should have gone. It has changed my outlook on life severely. Spend time with your family as much as possible. When they say they could be gone tomorrow they mean it.

Thank you. It would mean more than you know. If they knew him I am sure they have some stories. He was a goofball. He could get on everyone's nerves. While frustrating at the moment it was an endearing quality. The kind of thing you would almost fall over laughing about later.

Yes that's him.
