well, this is chelsea, and i am all to familiar with the times spent on the bus...even though we were those kids who still road the bus even though we were all upper class men. i wouldn't trade those times for anything, we had so many side splitting laughs and Brandon was always the center of our crazy conversations, an i know thats because of his one of a kind and absolutely irreplaceable and unique personality. there isn't a moment that goes by that i when I'm not thinking that this is all a terrible dream. but, im still so proud of his great accomplishments in his life. for being so young Brandon has seen so many things in his life that most go an entire lifetime without seeing, the man had graduated marine corps. basic training before he graduated high school. also he spent what was it two three years of his life doing and going through things that most people back home in Palmyra and Eagle never thought off. and he was so proud of what he was and so was everyone else. i loved being able to tell people about one of my best friends being a marine, and then telling them about the crazy and difficult things he would describe to me in the letters he would send home in his chicken scratch writing. yeah, i have many memories but the proudest i have ever been of Brandon was that day at graduation when he walked across the stage and everyone cheered, and they cheered longer and louder for him than anyone else because we were all proud of him and his sacrifices and then, he stopped and looked at the people and took of his cap and gown and then stood in his dress blues while everyone went wild and i remember being there for him and cheering and crying, out of pride and joy for one of the greatest friends i have ever known. thanks Brittany for starting this up! To Brandon i love you and miss you everyday!
