When she looks into her daughter’s eyes she sees a part of the both of them.
Brittany was just six weeks pregnant when she found out she would never see her husband again. Harris was killed by a suicide bomber while serving in Afghanistan on August 2, 2017. Brittany said her daughter, Christian will grow up knowing all about her father’s legacy.
In fact, she held a special night to honor his memory and other Gold Star families. The event was held at the Airborne & Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville. It featured guest speakers including Supreme Allied Commander General Buck Kernan and Bobby Heline, a former US Army Staff sergeant in the 82nd Airborne Division, 4-tour war veteran, burn survivor and motivational speaker.
This month marked one-year since Harris’ death. She honored him with a personal paver at the entrance of the museum. He served with the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg.
