Obituary
Send FlowersBradley J. Harper traded his patrols of Virginia Beach in police blues for patrols in Iraq in camouflage gear. "It's two different worlds," Harper said before he left. "This is my chance to go, to do my part. The sooner you get over there, the sooner you get back." Harper, 25, of Dresden, Ohio, was killed Aug. 3 by a roadside bomb south of Haditha. He was based at Norfolk. He studied criminal justice at Ohio University, then moved to Virginia Beach, Va., to become a police officer in January 2004. "He was exactly what we wanted in an officer and a citizen," said Harry McBrien, the recruiter for the Virginia Beach Police Department. "He was an all-around awesome guy and a real go-getter." When the academy staff "tried to stress him out a little bit," he "just smiled" and kept going, McBrien said. "What can I tell you about him?" asked Master Police Officer Rene Ball. "He was a stellar candidate" for the 750-member department, and he showed himself to be "an even better recruit." Harper is survived by his wife, Kendra.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the Harper Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. ...

Brad, even though I have not been able to talk to you, I think about all the good times we shared. I also come by and sit by your head stone when I come to town, and tell you all the things going on with me and the world. You were a great freind and you are missed . Well I see you soon, sometime later in the month.
