I was in my first year of college when this attack happened. The bravery of the men and women that day led me to pursue a life serving. I did not know exactly how or what I was going to do then, However it led me to who I am today. Sergeant William Brautigam, Thank you for service. Men and women like yourself have left my generation incredibly big boots to fill. I hope we exceed the standards you and yours set for us. Rest in peace, bless his family and friends.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.
