An exceptional Christian example - it was a privilege for me to know Larry. His exemplary service to his country and his state should be appreciated by those who cherish liberty, safety, and security. It was clear he was a professional in everything he did and accomplished. He carried himself with unusual style and grace and treated everyone with respect and dignity.

Dear Mrs Brewer,
Though we have never met, I share your loss. Maj Brewer was a member of a group of outstanding men and women that made up the 3rd Combat Communications Group, and I was proud to be a member of that Group along with him as my boss. I know he will be missed by all who knew him. I know I do. Last call Sir, your on your best assignment yet.
