I did not know about you Alex until yesterday when I recieved a hero bracelet with your name on it. I always felt a general sense of appreciation for young men and women serving in harms way for freedom's sake. I have spent some time today learning something about you, a very real and special person. While I do not know nearly enough yet about your all too short life, I do know that without question you are a true Hero. I wear your name on my wrist with great pride and will honor your memory whenever asked, "who is Spc Brian A Vaughn?" My deepest sympathy and greatful appreciation to the family left with your dear memory.

I will miss his laugh, his smile, his hugs, that little quirky grin he gave when he was kidding you, and we would watch Dragon Ball Z until we were nearly blind. I will miss you so much. I love you.
