I know there are no words to say at this time, except how sorry that I am. 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 .
I Salute You.

I did not know Sgt. Atwell. I do know that my good friend was in the area that night and that he and many other unsuspecting but diligent Marine's probably owe Sgt Atwell their lives.
Thank you, Marine.

I did not know Sgt. Bradley Atwell; but that does not mean I do not honor and respect him. He willingly gave his own life that others might live; what a gift he gave to his fellow Marines. Sgt. Atwell thank you for serving our country and all that you did for me. To his parents and his wife my deepest condolence. Life will never be the same after looing Bradley you will have what we call a new normal. I say this because I too have lost a Marine. If there is anything I can do to help you please feel free to contact me. Deborah L. (Furnish) McQueary Kleinschmidt Gold Star Mother of Sgt. Jeremy R. McQueary, USMC 2-18-2010

My deepest sympathies to Sgt. Atwells family..I met him in 2006 when me and my mom went to Florida a couple times to visit my brother while he was stationed in Pensacola. My brother was his roommate they were so close that Atwell was with us for both our trips. he was an awesome guy and a great friend to my brother. When my brother found out the news I called him and he was crying so hard and just talked about how he was such an amazing guy. He really had an impact on my brother and my brother cared about him deeply! In our family and hearts we will never forget him, he is a true Hero! Prayers to his Wife and family!
