I didn’t know him, but he was my Brother.

United States Army Specialist Benjamin Moore, killed in Afghanistan on January 12, 2011 by an IED.

From FireCritic.com:

“He was assigned to the 7th Engineer Battalion, 10th Sustainment Brigade, 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum. Benjamin joined the Army in 2009 and was deployed to Afghanistan last May.

Moore was also a volunteer firefighter and EMT with the Hope Hose Fire Company in Bordentown, New Jersey. Moore was posthumously named Chief of Hope Hose Fire Company and will be named honorary Mayor of the Bordentown at their next meeting of the City Commission.”

Watch this very moving video… You might want to grab a tissue.

Godspeed, SPC. Moore.
