Growing up gay in 1974 had to be tough, yet he was always polite to me and everyone else. To think that he joined the Army to fight for our freedom and now has the honor of being interned at Arlington National Cemetery. It reminds me of Martin Luther King "to be judged by the content of their character." My heart goes out to his partner Alan Wolfe in his time of grief.Robert Martin III
I was walking by the gym one day and saw Brian facing up to one of the school bullys. I thought "Brian is going to get his ass beat," To my suprise and the bully's too, Brian flung the bully up against the lockers then threw him back onto the floor. The fight stopped right then. I think that bully was scared.

Thanks for your comments, Robert!
I wish I had known Brian better. The toughest part of growing up gay back then was believing that you were the only one, and that you would always be alone. I had no idea that Brian was gay, but now I like to think that he did find happiness and companionship with his partner, Alan.

May his partner find some peace through these precious notations about his life. Personally, I am truly honored that he served our country and was a fine example of being a hero. Thank you for sharing your comments.
