BRYAN'S HOME
TEMPORARY HOUSING FOR VETERANS (2 YEARS)
Bryan's Home is named after Lance Corporal Bryan Pahl Bertrand, United States Marine Corps. Bryan graduated from Marshfield High School in Coos Bay, OR and was a good friend to our founder Patrick Wright.
He was the first casualty of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan from Oregon. The crash of RADR 04 claimed the lives of 7 of our nations heroes to include another Oregon resident Captain Mathew Bancroft and the first female casualty of the war Sergeant Jeanette Winters.
Bryan was a good friend and this community will always remember him.
The Bertrand family is very active in this build and Bryan's parents Bruce and Patty are part of our board.
