Brad was on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan. He'd been there only a few weeks but was in the Army for 10 years. He was a combat engineer. He was assigned to Fort Wainwright, Alaska as part of the 1st Stryker Brigade Comat Team, 25th Infantry Division.
The incident happened while the soldiers were on mounted patrol Monday afternoon in the city of Spin Ghbarga.
Bradley was stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska, for about the last three years, but most of his loved ones are in Missouri. His mom and stepfather live just outside Rolla, Missouri. He had also completed two tours in Iraq.
Bradley is described as a friendly, loving and courageous man who always knew that serving his country was his calling in life.

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Bradley Melton is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
