As he came home from school one day, he was surprised with recruiters sitting at his kitchen table. This is when his love and passion for serving began. He was assigned to the 511th MP CO at Ft Drum NY. In 2006 he joined the TN army, National Guard and was assigned to the 117th Military Police Battalion, 269 MP company.

We love you Melissa & Sidney!!! My heart breaks for you, but I know that both of you are such strong women (Sidney - you get that from your momma, that´s for sure... love ya Melissa)! Just know that you are surrounded by Joyner´s friends who will do anything to help you through! Bryan loved Brandon so much! They´ve seen it all together - Iraq, or the mean streets at the La Vergne PD, I´m not sure what´s worse - and this is just soul crushing news to hear after everything they´ve been through and everywhere they´ve been. Just know that we love you both so much. I´m so sorry I cannot be there for the service, I´ll have Bryan give you all a huge hug for me.
