September 2006--as a participant in the 2996 project--I was assigned the privilege of memorializing Brian D. Sweeney, a passenger on United Flight 175.
Of Viking Heart was written in tribute to a man I never met but came to know only by his passing, through the voices of his friends and family.
Today, I will think of those he left behind much too soon and their loss that never ends.
And I'll think of Brian, 38, who claimed to be part Viking and part Leonardo da Vinci.
We will never forget.

The later picture of Brian, that is an Army Aviator's uniform. Specifically, He was a combat veteran of the 24th Infantry Division that was at the time of the first Gulf War stationed at Fort Stewart Ga./Hunter Army Airfield I know this because, the 24th was replaced by the 3ID in 1992, and the Unit was retired until AFTER the Second war in the Gulf started. I know, because I also wore the Patch of the 24th ID on my RIGHT shoulder. First To Fight.. Victory.. Tuskers!
Thanks for that information. I'll remember to add that information for next year,
Thank you for posting this, and the link to your previous entry. He was a truly fantastic person and it is nice to see his memory honored.
You are most welcome.
I'm sorry for the loss of this wonderful person. His intensity and love for life shine out from his eyes and surrounds him, even in photos.
It must hurt your eyes to look and not see him there.
I so know.
Sunny, look where else john walsh is slithering up .... all the attention to the white house boys (i am related to someone who was there) Then, this justice for kids which on the surface appears to be a good thing but probably not. And, check the right hand column.
See, cause I'm just not easily fooled anymore. I'll be checking out justice4kids. There's a local lady here I'm looking for .. she and I share a history she is unaware of and her anger is something that needs to be fed with how to fix things for everyone.
I'm so busy right now.
Love, vox
Is Walsh involved in this justice4kids or the WH Boys?
It appears that he has offered input, doesn't it? I mean he wants nothing to do with CHANGING the laws that CRIMINALIZE children but apparently, if your child is damaged enough by the system he's willing to help.
Did you read it? I haven't had time to go back.
