FORT HOOD, TX — A memorial ceremony was held on Fort Hood Thursday in honor of the soldier who was found shot to death on the side of the road in May.
GREYWOLF leaders, the Rosecrans family, friends and fellow soldiers gathered for the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division's unit memorial ceremony in honor of Pfc. Brandon Rosecrans at the Operation Iraqi Freedom Chapel.
Capt. Jordan Holmlund, Commander, Brigade Field Maintenance Company, 215th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Armor Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, spoke at the unit memorial.
“Brandon Rosecrans was a valued member of our team. He and his service mattered to the Armed Forces and to the Soldiers in this company. The best way we can honor his memory, in my mind, is to work together every day to build our legacy,” said Holmlund. “We can do that by continuing to ensure that this organization takes care of its Soldiers, mentors them, and makes them proud to serve this country.”
Pfc. Rosecrans was laid to rest on June 2 near his hometown of Kimberling City, Missouri, at the Philibert Cemetery with his family and friends present beside him.
Brandon Michael Olivares was arraigned Wednesday for the murder of Pfc. Rosecrans. His bond has been set at $1,000,000.
