Bradley Arms remembered

This entry in the Athens Ga paper is posted because it refers to a Sig Ep who was killed in Iraq. No other editorial message is intended.

Ultimate sacrifice

Thirty-three Georgia soldiers are among the more than 1,500 Americans who have died in Iraq since the conflict began two years ago.

Five weeks later, the University of Georgia mourned the death of Bradley Thomas Arms, a 20-year-old student from Charlottesville, Va., who left his studies to serve with his Marine Reserve unit.

A member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, Arms came to UGA in January 2003 and was called to active duty in August 2004.

Arms died Nov. 19, 2004; his father told mourners at a memorial service that Arms was shot twice in the back while trying to save another soldier.

We reported on Bro. Arms' death back in November here and here.
