In memory of my loving brother, Bradley.

Brad was a very giving person. He was the type to give you the shirt off his back. He was determined to go to the Marine Corps. I remember my mother crying and begging him not to go , but he insisted and said if it was meant for him to die that way then so it may be, and he did. He was killed in action on May 27th, 1968. We miss him very much. We will never forget you, Brad. Mom and Dad are with you now.

This is from your family that is left behind ... brother Vernon, sisters Carolyn, Emma, Donna, Fay, and Marie. We love you.

Placed by his sister,
Emma Mullins
