The oldest of three children, Brad Coleman continued what had become a family tradition of military service. His father, Donald Coleman, and grandfather served in the Navy. A great-grandfather fought in the Philippines during World War II and his great-great-grandfather fought in Europe during World War I, Donald Coleman said. "Brad is the only one of us who hasn't come home," his father said. Coleman, 19, of Ford City, Pa., had been in the Army just eight months when he was killed May 30 by a mortar attack in Mosul, Iraq. He was based at Fort Lewis. Unlike his father, Brad Coleman took a camera rather than a rifle on hunting trips because he didn't like to shoot animals. He had talked about making a career of the military but also mentioned becoming a college football coach, his father said. "He had found himself and really seemed to be excited to be doing what he was doing," said Vincent Curren, his high school principal.

Not sure what to say?

Bradley and I became great friends when we were deployed together. We hung out and talked a lot. He was an amazing person with an amazing personality. I'm so happy I got to know him, and I miss him so much.

Today marks 19yrs, but no day goes by that I dont think of you... You are one brave Soldier Brad - I will remember you for the rest of my life and hope to see you again so that we can crack jokes, we have lots to catch-up my old friend. I know life is not fair (its not) but your Valor and Values should be a reminder of the sacrifices (selfless service) that keep us Free. Miss you buddy, as a Commander I once was, let the entire world know that you are a HERO and nothing will come close to how...

Hello family and friends of Bradlin. My name is Cheyenne and my senior Government class at Winfield City High School (Winfield, AL) were given the assignment to find fallen soldier who share part of our name (my last name in this case) and write in their guest book. Personally, my favorite things are cookies, anime, cartoons, and any forms of art. I'm not sure how similar we are with those things though. I am really glad that our country is being protected by brave soldiers like Mr. Bradlin...

RIP Brother.
