My Brother, Lance Cpl Nicholas Anderson was deployed in January 2006 to Afghanistan. March 13, 2006 he was killed when his humvee overturned with him up in the gunner's seat. He died from the injuries sustained in that accident. When he was home in December for his leave before deployment, we went and had tattoo's done together and they were chinese symbols that stand for older sister, younger brother. So when we received this news of my Brother's passing, I went down and added to my tattoo, I had a set of dog tags added and had In Memory, My Brother put on the dog tags. My Brother and I were very close to each other so it means alot to me that we did the first tattoos together and now I have that forever and my new one makes me feel close to him again.
Lance Cpl Nicholas Anderson was based out of Kanoehe Bay Hawaii with the 1/3 Bravo Company. He joined the military in January 2005. completed boot camp on April 15, 2005.
