To the family of Warrant Officer Gaudet. The boys on the ground from A Company 1-26, 3rd Platoon wanted this message passed along. Your husband/father/son was a great man. He really cared for the troops on the ground. PFC Sean Bradley was always relieved to know it was his team coming when they called for fire power. They were the 3rd Platoon's Guardian angels. His courage and commitment to protect those on the ground will never be forgotten. He will be greatly missed. As PFC Bradley's mom I want to thank you for his service. There are young men alive today due to his service to our country.
ReplyDeleteHi my name is Amanda, I met brad through boxing at the Watertown boxing club. I didn't get to know him for very long but he was one tough dude he could take a beating and give it back just as good. He was always respectful to everyone around him, and always had a good attitude. May he rest in piece. I will continue to pray for his family and friends. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your tragic loss. Please always know your father, husband, son is a hero and the sacrifice your family has made will never be forgotten! I know the sorrow and heaviness of this because my brother in law was Kenneth.
