Reply #14: No I haven't noticed how few "white boys" are going over there

As a matter of fact if you want to draw conclusions based on expirential evidence I guess I could conclude that only priveleged kids are dieing over there based on the death of Brad Schuder. (Rest in Peace Brad) Brad lived in a $500,000 home a few miles up the road from me.

A community mourned on Friday night.

Lance Corporal Brad Shuder is dead, and the lives he touched gathered at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in El Dorado Hills to remember his life.

Though the church held less than the 912 capacity crowd, every seat was filled and people stood in the back and along the sides of the sanctuary. The people grieved for the 21-year-old who is El Dorado Hill's first loss in this most recent war.

Shuder died from a mortar shell in Iraq on April 12 near Fallujah, a Marine on his second tour of duty.

"Brad did something extraordinary," said Rev. Michael Bugarin, Shuder's cousin who officiated the service. "He was willing to sacrifice his life for me and you."

Shuder was graced with full military honors at the service. Marines from both Camp Pendleton where he was stationed and the Sacramento area attended the service.

Shuder was born in Korea on May 6, 1982 and was adopted less than two years later by his parents in El Dorado County. He went down to Camp Pendleton shortly after 9/11 and ended up in Iraq for a tour of duty.
