WEST POINT, N.Y. (Nov. 15, 2012) -- The memorial bracelet he wears on his left wrist has immense significance. Etched on the bracelet are the names of five men--Senior Airman Brad Smith, Sgt. Joshua Lengstorf, Spc. Doc Bowman, Pfc. Matthew Wilds and Pvt. John Dion--who made the ultimate sacrifice in service for our nation. For almost three years, Class of 2016 Cadet Harrison Majors has worn the bracelet in remembrance of these men who lost their lives in Afghanistan, four during a mission that resulted in Majors receiving a Purple Heart and the other a good friend (Wilds) who died on a deployment prior to Majors' arrival in Afghanistan.
