Brad
Brad was an outstanding soldier and almost certainly a future team sergeant. This one hit the company hard, as he just PCS'd two months ago. RIP brother, we'll see you on the other side...

Rest in Peace, SFC(P) Keys. Brad came to us two months ago and was immediately assigned to the Air Desk. He had just graduated MFFJM school, came home for one weekend and went right back out for this mission. We thought highly of him; I can only imagine the pain for his family and the former teammates he was working with. He will be missed; prayers for his family.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
