Paul Bradshaw said his son Brian joined the Army and went to Afghanistan “to try and help people” and to make the lives of the people there better.
“He could make people feel better,” the elder Bradshaw said Friday shortly before he and his wife Mary left their Steilacoom home to fly to Dover Air Force Base for the arrival of their son’s body back in the United States. “That was his hope. He didn’t go to win a war.”
