I m Spc Brandon Peterson. I met Bradley in Germany in 2008. We were in the same barracks, we hung out together almost daily for over 2 years, until he deployed to Iraq with a transportation company who shared the same building as my company. I was devistated when I was told he was gone. Im still sad and have a picture of him. His Germany friends and American soldier buddies miss him dearly. The Germany girls we befriended were saddened as well. He was loyal, faithful and a jokester. We attended clubs bars and friends homes together. a true baddle buddy, who is truly missed.

I'm deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Shane. I'm ashamed that I just learned of it. I haven't seen Shane since the mid 90's but I have always remembered him for his smile and free spirit. He was a good kid and I'm happy to hear he grew into someone we all can be proud of.
My sincerest condolences for everyone in his family. RIP, God Speed SPC. Bradley Shane Coleman

My Dear Sweet baby brother Shane,
Hey this is Skittle Queen Sherry. That title never has angered me only made me more and more aware of your awsome sense of humor. What can I say but that I miss you so terribly. You are truly one in a million. There is not a day that goes by that you are not embedded in my thoughts.
Shane, you have a piece of my heart that I have ever freely given away.

My darling little boy I;m sitting here thinking of you as I do on a daily bases and missing you more than words could ever express...My tadpole as I always called you why I don't know I just did I guess because you were always wiggling around and crawling under and over things at
a fast rate of speed. The whole left in my heart can never be filled and the pain at times seems more than I can handle untlil I look at one of your pictures and see that silly smile and kind eyes that I know you are still with me in spirit. I try and always think how King David felt when he lost his son and I remind myself everyday as what he said to his servants. He said he cannot come to me but If I live a good life I will one day go to him. Shane I am looking forward to that day. I pray I can be half the peersonyou were and pray also more people will follow your good kind and loving spirit. Like I once said if this world had more people like you we would have noreason for war. with all my love mom

To the family and friends of PFC Bradley S. Coleman,
I served as the Casualty Notification Officer. That one day, my duty was to knock on his mother's door to deliver the news that no parent should have to hear. I have to say that was the hardest thing the Army has asked me to do.
Although I did not know him personally, PFC Coleman will be one Soldier that will strive to always remember.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss.
Sincerely
Melissa Coleman

Shane,
I will never let you go. You will be in my heart until the day I die. I fell in love with you just as hard and fast as I did your father. You had me from the first time I came to your dad's house and cooked dinner and you stood in the kitchen with that sweet smile of yours and said "so you can cook does that mean you know how to do laundry" I never dreamed that was the begining of one of the greatest joys of my life. Even during those angry teen years you have been a joy and a blessing in my life. I promise you I will do all that I can to make sure that your children know what a great man you grew up to be. I do not know anyone who was around you long who did not love you. TC and Shyana are so young and do not understand now what they lost but as they get older and ask questions about their dad I intend to be here to make sure that they get to know the sweet heart of a tough guy that I knew and still love. I will never be able to express what an honor it was to me for you to pick on me and call me your wicked step monster and tell me you loved me in the same sentence. I wish that I could turn back time and bring you back. I am so proud of the young man you grew up to be, I cherish the sweet little boy you were when I met you. And I will always love and miss you. I was blessed to have such a wonderful, sweet, kind and loving step-son. Rest in Peace. I pray that you knew how much I loved you. I told you often but I guess I will never know if you really knew. I miss you so much still and will not ever be able to fill the void in my life that losing you has created.

Prayer for Peace
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith:
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen

Shane...This is Ruby, Lynn's BFF since Meadowbrooke Middle School. When Lynn told me the Lord called you, it took my breathe away and I cried and cried. It was hard for me to even try to begin to understand the pain that your family was going thru. I remember visiting with you and the girls when you were so little, maybe 1 or 2 years old.. and how you were always the center of their attention, especially Lynn's. Missy, Sherry and Lynn took turns huggin on you, smooching you, tickling you...and you'd LOVE it! I remember you always being soooo happy! Always with that big Koolaid smile of yours! :) I remember how Lynn would call you her baby and treat you like her little baby, and you would just laugh and laugh....I also remember how your mom would love to do 1000 piece puzzles, and you would go to her and want to "play puzzle" with her, and how she would take you in her lap and let you put pieces together...that you didnt really match up right, but you didnt care and I dont think she even cared, she was just tickled pink to have her baby close to her "playing puzzle" with her..and she'd love on you and tell you how smart you were to being doing such hard puzzles...And your dad, well... we just couldnt call you handsome where he could hear us, because you know what he would say???..."Well of course he's handsome, look at his dad!" He was so proud to call you his son,... and rightfully so. You are so loved and will be so dearly missed. I have wonderful memories of your family growing up. My heart goes out to my best friend and your oldest sister Lynn, because I know that when you left..part of her heart left too. RIP Shane...until we meet up again...xoxoxoxox

Somewhere along the way, and I'm still not quite sure how, I missed the original notification from Lynn that Shane was gone. When I did finally see it, it hit me like a brick. In my heart, he is still that adorable little boy that she and I would walk around the block in his stroller. Later, he would always greet me with his ninja turtles and transformers in hand when I came to the house. He had the most beautiful eyes and adorable smile. And I know how much you all loved him. Just as I consider you all my sisters in spirit, Lynn, Sherry, and Missy, Shane was family too. Brad and Dianne, my parents send you their love and support. Girls, you know I love you always.
Sweet Shane, I don't know what happened or why but I know that you are safe in His arms. Sleep Well.

I have the great honor, of being this great man's cousin. I want you to know Shane, that I am and have always been so proud to call you family. I can still remember you standing in your playpen "performing" for us and us cracking up laughing. Then, I remember the last time I saw you (when Granny died) and how proud you were. You were proud to be a father of 2 beautiful children and to be serving your country. I was then and will forever be so proud of you. You are a fine man that God needed in his Heavenly Army and one day when it is God's will - our family will all be together again. You are forever loved and missed.

Shane,
This is your mom trying to say good-bye, but I can't. I still remember the day you were born as if it were only yesterday. Watching your birth and holding you close to my heart when the doctor gave you to me was one of the proudest days of my life. I don't know why God took you home so young, but I thank him for the many joys we did get to share together. I can't write them all, but I do remember the excitement you showed when you caught your first fish and how happy you were when you got your go-cart. Oh yeah, don't forget how you rode around with me in my dumptruck thinking you were "the biggest thing around." Be sure to tell the angels how we learned the "Macoraina" together with three soldiers at a Chili Cookoff on a hot July day. Son, you were a great father and a boy any mother could be and is still very proud of. There's a hole in my heart that only looking at your two children will help mend, but nothing will ever take your place. I love you and miss you. Mom

Mere words cannot express the sense of loss felt by the friends or family who loved and still love Shane and miss him very much. Remaining is a kind of quiet void and sadness in his place. What I do have now is the fond memories of seeing him grow up to become the man he came to be. I can still very easily remember his first blue tee shirt given to him by the doctor who delivered him in Orlando, Florida that read "Dr. Horan really delivers!" He made his sisters and cousins laugh while standing in his playpen wearing "way to big "sunglasses and putting on a show for them. His presence at a birthday party at McDonald's has never been forgotten by me. A trip to Myrtle Beach during summer vacation with myself and my family when he was a little older still holds a special place in my heart. There are lots of good times that are to numerous to mention now, but the last time I saw Shane was at a cookout with my sister(Shane's mom), his sisters and children, his wife and children, and several of his cousins at his mom's house just a few short months before he went to Iraq. I do know Shane was loved by all of his family including me, but I didn't really realize how much until he was taken from us. It's really hard to understand the why's of losing someone who is so young and so dear, and we are all still so sad, but I feel that Shane would want us all to carry on and celebrate his life. Most of all, I feel he would want us to look after his family and support them any way that we can.

To the Coleman family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Bradleys' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.
...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

Dear Shane, From the moment I first saw you, I thought what a handsome baby. You were always so happy, always a smile on your face. What a honor you were to your family. When Lynn told me you were going in to the Army, I was so proud. My heart breaks knowing how bad your family hurts for your loss. Even though we will see you again soon in heaven, we will miss you terribly here on earth. With all my love.

You have such beautiful children. I am so sorry for your loss; I can not even begin to understand the pain that you and your whole family feel. If you ever need anything please let me know. I will continue to pray that God will give you peace for you and your family. In Christ Love

Shane,
This is your oldest sister, Lynn. It has now been 2 weeks and 12 hours since you went on to be with Jesus.Though I miss you more than words can say I am so proud of you baby. I remember going to the doctor with mom when she found out she was pregnant with you, she was so excited. Then the morning you were born, daddy was so excited he could barely talk. You were our little prince, the only boy with 3 older sisters. I remember you ringing the doorbell playing "pizza man" and the smile that was almost always planted on your face. The day that I hugged you after graduation, I did not want to let go because I was scared I would never see you again. Luckily, I did get to see you in person one more time. Though it hurts to think of the milestones that you won't be here for in person, I know that you will be with us in spirit. Just yesterday I thought I heard you tell me to quit crying. I am sorry, son, I just love you and miss you so much. However, I am so proud for the way you lived your life, the lives you touched, and the sacrifice you made. I promise that I will try to remember you for the life you lived and not your death. Please forgive me if I still cry from time to time. Love always, Lynn

Words seem so inadequate, but I must attempt to express my deep grief over the passing of Pfc Bradley S. Coleman. I send my deepfelt sympathies and prayers to his family and friends and want you to know I will continue to pray for you as time goes on. I was not privileged and blessed as all of you were to have shared in the life of Bradley, but I do wish to honor the fact that he lived and loved and was loved and that he gave himself in life and in death for others. God fearfully and wonderfully made us in His own image. In so doing he gave us a special gift in being able to think of our moments and experiences in time and to close our eyes and relive them similar to a video we watch in living color. We can remember our loved ones and the times we shared and see them, see them laugh and smile again and hear them talking as if it were happening now. Cherish each of those God given memories of Bradley in your minds and hearts and know that it is okay for you to laugh and yes, to cry. I know you will most of all find comfort in them. I am thankful to know that Bradley knew Jesus Christ personally and had the Holy Spirit with him throughout his life. I will look forward to getting to know him myself in heaven one day soon. God bless you all.

Brad, god bless you soldier and thank you for your service to a grateful nation, forever we will mourn you and all of our fallen heroes both before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was killed in action in Iraq while on a routine patrol. My promise to him was that I would never forget him but also those fallen before and after him. When I made that promise to him the day we laid him to his final resting place I did not realize how often I would need to make entries on Legacy and it just breaks my heart knowing that so many other families have and will continue to feel the pain that our family has endured. To the Coleman family please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another we will never forget Bradley!

The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Pfc Bradley S. Coleman our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Brad. And to Brad it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made in combat while serving the U.S. Army and his country. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Brad, you are a brave Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,409 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Brad’s family and loved ones.
