My dad's side of my family knew the Fritsche's. The day they brought him home from the airport is a day I will never forget. That procession is the most powerful experience I've ever witnessed. God bless. RIP Ryan.
I am now serving with on of the soldier's from the Honor Guard in Germany.
Unfortunately I never met Ryan or his family, but my my dad's side of the family knew them. I remember the day they brought him home from the airport. The procession down SR67 was the most powerful experience I've ever witnessed. I am now serving in Germany with one of the soldiers that was on the Honor Guard detail for his funeral. God bless. RIP Ryan.
Fritsche, you were a great man. You showed me the ropes when I first got to TOG before deployment. You will be missed. I am truly sorry this happened. I wish you were still around, but I know we will all see each other again someday. Rest in Peace my friend
He went to my church lol my sister used to have the biggest crush on him i always thought they might get married but Brandi and him made a sweet couple and they still do

C.Province: It is the soldier,not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier,not the poet, Who has given us the freedom of speech. It is the soldier,not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier,not the lawyer, Who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves under the flag, And whose coffin is draped in the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the flag
