In the line of duty....

Today I heard from my Brother that a local reservist died at work Sunday.

An army reservist died after being crushed by a forklift Sunday night at the Halifax Armoury.

Pte. Bradley Stephen Howell, 18, was working a security shift with two other people when he was pinned between the forklift and a parked military truck. He died later in hospital.

It's a shame that he died like that. My brother was with him a couple weeks ago when he was down in Virginia training, and he knew him personally through the reserves.

Rest in Peace soldier, you did your duty.

Really sorry to hear that...and yeah it is a shame that he died like that, but some one sure as hell screwed up that led to him being pinned between the forklift and the truck...

I was chatting with my brother at the gym tonight, and he said they were dicking around on it. So there is a good possibility that there will be charges laid. The person who did it is believed to be 18 as well. Sad way to end a life and to continue on with one.
