Gee, wonder why you haven't said similar to zilla. He's the one who started in with the intense hate and bashing.

4-26-2004 Coast Guard Member Killed in Iraq Attack

"He was honored to do anything the Coast Guard asked him," said Daniel Burgoyne, a friend and fellow petty officer. "He was a true patriot and he loved serving his country."

Bruckenthal was scheduled to return from his second stint in Iraq (news - web sites) in a month, Commander Glenn Grahl said. He had also served there from February to May last year, Grahl said.

Bruckenthal's wife is three months pregnant, friends and family members said.

"We're all trying to get through this," said Bruckenthal's uncle, Steven Bruckenthal, of Millwood, N.Y. "It's been a shock from his 83-year-old grandfather, to his mother and father to his sister to his wife. He has a very large family."
