Brown, who was tragically killed on Easter Sunday, April 11, 2004, when 
a rocket-propelled grenade hit his Humvee in Samarra, Iraq, about 60 
miles north of Baghdad, during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  Nathan was a lifelong resident of South Glens Falls, New York. He 
enlisted in the New York Army National Guard immediately after 
graduating from South Glens Falls High School in 2002, in the aftermath 
of 9/11. Nathan was posthumously awarded The Bronze Star, Purple Heart, 
and the New York Medal of Valor for his bravery.
  Friends and family of Nathan remember him as a generous and positive 
person, a brave soldier, and a beloved member of the community.
  Next week, he will be inducted into The South Glens Falls Bulldog 
Pride Hall of Fame, in recognition of his sacrifice and commitment. 
This honor is a testament to Nathan's selfless pride for his country. 
Nathan gave the ultimate sacrifice, and for that we all owe him a debt 
of gratitude.
  I am proud to stand and honor Army Pfc. Nathan P. Brown, a beloved 
member of the South Glens Falls Community, and a shining example of 
those who give their lives to protect our country and its interests. 
Please join me in recognizing Nathan Brown for his service, and in 
honor of his legacy.
