'I am so proud of my brother'
![]() I am so proud of my brother Brandon Shelton. He not only is the wonderful father 3 beautiful children but he is protecting our country and others in Afghanistan. I love you so much Brandon! Brandon had a baby boy named Alexander James (A.J.) Shelton born on March 2, 2007, and his wife Jenny and children are so proud of him and cannot wait to see him again. This is Brandon in front of the helicopters he flies for the Army as a Black Hawk Pilot. -- Kelley Steen of Raleigh, North Carolina
I'm very proud of you Brandon. Wishing you the best of luck. I see you've gone a long way from being an X-ray tech.
