16 Jul 2006 Bradley, we were best friends growing up in Rayne. Many times I think of you. Many of us went to serve our country in that time and some did not come back. You, my friend, were one who did not come back. I pray that you found rest with our LORD in heaven. Your pal forever, Shelton Leger smcleger@cox.net
