Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Rappuhn Family know that we have made a donation to the Lead The Way Fund in honor of US Army Spcialist Bradley D. Rappuhn. 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 across the American youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

This is how I remember you best. This time of year when you shaved your head for a halloween party...you loved to have fun. My family misses and thinks about you all the time. My new grandson has your name and I can imagine you teaching him things that would make my hair curl. We will forever remember your sacrifice and you will always be in our hearts.

I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. I truly feel your loss and pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Bradley will 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.
For those missing in action;
for those who didn’t make it home.
I know you’re in God’s presence you are not alone.
For every neatly folded flag;
for every shattered family
I will do the only thing I know to dignify your memory.
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 .

To the family: May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

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 our Brother-in-Arms PFC. Bradley Rappuhn. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Bradley. And to Bradley it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. Bradley, you are a brave American 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 1,335 military Legionnaire Veterans of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Bradley’s family and loved ones.

Please accept my Deepest and Most Heartfelt Sympathy regarding the Devastating loss of Pfc Bradley Rappuhn, with Profound Gratitude for this Fine Young Ranger's Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.
.
There will Never Be Enough Ways, to Humbly Thank our Young Heroes, for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. He also served with the 75th Ranger Regiment and was killed in action, in Vietnam in 1967.
"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have passed away."
~ Revelations 21:4 ~
May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Will Remember Bradley's Sacrifice.
"RANGERS LEAD THE WAY"
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
