A really nice piece about Bryan, as well as two other “family men” who lost their lives, has been posted on the Daily Kos website. Click here for the story. Excerpt:
So long as we love, we serve; so long as we are loved by others I would say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend. – Robert Louis Stevenson
Tonight we pay tribute to three family men who recently died in Iraq while serving in the U.S. Army. Together, they leave behind three wives and four children, as well as many other grieving family members, friends, and colleagues.
On Friday, the Department of Defense announced the death of Sergeant Bryan J. Tutten, a soldier who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom: “Sgt. Bryan J. Tutten, 33, of St. Augustine, Fla., died Dec. 25 in Balad, Iraq, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his position during combat operations. He was assigned to the 1st Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, N.C.”
