Travis M. Arndt loved to drive in the mountains in his Jeep. He loved long, hot afternoons diving off the rocks on the Missouri River. He loved hiking and snowshoeing in the Rocky Mountain Front. "He was a really good kid," said Tina Price, mother of one of Travis' best friend. "He was a happy-go-lucky, smiling-all-the-time kid, a really fun guy to be around." Arndt, 23, of Bozeman, Mont., was killed Sept. 21 in a vehicle accident in Kirkuk. He was assigned to Missoula. A 2001 high school graduate, he had been taking classes at Montana State University. He wanted to become a football coach or a police officer. "Travis had a contagious laugh," said his father, Mark Arndt. "He could change the mood in a room from somber to joyous. My son was somebody everybody admired." Arndt was an amateur boxer and he lifted weights, especially the parallel squat and power clean. He had planned to come home on leave in October to surprise his girlfriend, Lindsay Logan, on her birthday. "I honestly believe he planned to ask her to marry him," said his stepbrother, Steve Salazar.

Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you this weekend brother. Never forgotten.

Hi Travis,
You were on my mind yesterday, it being Patriot Day. I remember the last time I saw you. You told me you were deploying in a week and you had a huge smile on your face. You weren’t afraid, you were happy to be going over there to do your part. I wished you luck and said I hoped to see again soon. It seemed only months later that I heard the radio dj announcing Montana’s recent fallen heroes. It was a gut punch to hear your name. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
