My walk this morning was dedicated in honor of :
Army Spc. Brian R. Bowman , Age 24 of Crawfordsville, IN.
KIA Jan. 3, 2010 in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom
He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade
Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Co
Spc. Brian Bowman grew up in Waveland, Indiana, and graduated from Southmont High School in 2004. He was serving as a medic in the United States Army, based out of Fort Carson, Colorado. Brian was one of four soldiers killed as a result of an improvised explosive device in southern Afghanistan on January 3, 2010. He was 24 years old. Brian is survived by his wife of just over two years.
Bowman, a married combat medic, also joined the Army in August 2006 and also deployed to Afghanistan in May.
Walked 8.90 miles in honor of this hero. Had a great walk. I want to thank everyone who honked and waved in helping me honor this hero. About 4 miles into my walk this morning my music just stopped playing so i stopped and was trying to figure out what was wrong with it and i looked down in front of my feet and there sat a hawk feather. Just amazing. I was able to turn my music right back on. I did pick up the feather. I believe it was a sign. I thanked Army Spc. Brian R. Bowman and continued my walk.
