09/09/2006 | You know, I learned everything from my brother. I learned intensity, ass kickery, a bit of work ethic, and how to do my job as a satellite and home theater specialist when he decided to train me in that stuff after I got out of the Marines. I've even learned from his mistakes as I held out on getting married to a crazy girl on the stength of his very good advice. To top it all off, he looks exactly like the Fighting Irish Mascot or Lucky the Leprechaun (take your pick) and that has led to some laughs over time.

09/08/2006 | My little brother (18 now) is one of my best friends, even when we were younger and constantly fighting. We share everything, including things he couldn't even share with our mom. He's someone I look up to for his strong character and moral standing as well...he's been a person that EVERYONE can turn to without fear. He's been raised well, and seeing him now as an adult living an adults life; he's become a great man and I don't worry so much about him.

01/31/2006 | I respect my brothers more so than I admire them. When I think of admiration, I think of looking up to them. I see my brothers as equal and don't put them above myself or below.

11/01/2005 |  My folks divorced when I was pretty young. My brother, Jason, although only two years older than me unwittingly assumed the role of guardian and mentor - albeit an annoying one.
Over the years he has proved to be everything I wish to be - extremely hard working, capable and the kind of person people go to to get things done. He has moved from success to success in his life and has never developed a shred of arrogance, much less hubris.
During my military career, I had the good fortune to deal with great men, both physical monsters with terrifying speed and strength and mental athletes with lightning forethought and wolf-like guile. People to whom I pledged to lay down my life for. Despite this, my brother - who enjoys his cookies and rides a desk - remains my example of the word MAN.
I think of the darkest moments of my life and realize that he was, and is, my champion - the person to whom my well-being was paramount. I would not be the person - the man - I am now had it not been for his guidance. I am indebted to him on so many levels, one lifetime is not enough time to repay him.
