Fort Bragg paratrooper dreamed of becoming a doctor

The Associated Press

COLVILLE, Wash. — Spc. Ryan Bell joined the Army hoping to eventually become a doctor. That dream was cut short this week when a bomb exploded near the Fort Bragg paratrooper’s vehicle in Iraq, killing him and five other soldiers.

The 21-year-old from Colville attended the Riverside Military Academy in Gainesville, Ga. He graduated in 2003 and had many college scholarship offers, said his father, Michael Bell of Colville. Instead, the younger Bell decided to join the Army, hoping his training and GI bill would help him become a doctor.

“There’s no regrets at this end,” Michael Bell said. “He was a responsible young man, he was sensible, he knew what he wanted to do with his life.”

The young man joined the Army in 2004 and was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, N.C., in January 2005. He was a member of Company C, 2nd...

  Dear Ryan,

Veterans Day was very painful. I got through it but it was very difficult. You gave the ultimate gift to your country, You sacrificed your very life. You came home a Hero with lots of decorations and a lot of honor. On March 5, 2007 seven noble soldiers were killed when they were bombed by a roadside device. God Bless Ryan, Justin R., Justin E., Rob, Andrew, Joshua and Cory. God Bless all of the families . Heaven is a better place with these fine young men in it.

  Dear Ryan Michael Bell, I almost died of a broken heart when the Army came to tell me you were killed in action. These days I live to try and mend my broken heart. It will never be fully mended. I will never get over the loss of you. I miss you more than words can say. I am so very proud of you. You were very noble and very brave in this life. Wherever you are now I pray to God that you are Happy, Joyous and Free!!!!! All of my Love, Mom

Blue C. Rowe

I am the Chaplain, along with 1SG Obalabi, who made this notification. This was my fifth death notification in 2009. I remembered this one like it was yesterday, and I routinely think about 1SG Rowe’s wife and their son, who was seven at the time. This notification stands out to me because we had to come back to the house a few times because no one was home. We finally saw a light on around 2130, and I and 1SG O went to the door and knocked. 1SG Rowe’s wife answered the door, and it was clear that his wife was not registering why we were there. She did invite us, and we sat down at the table, and ISG O made the notification. 1SG Rowe’s wife said, "Are you sure?" She asked that question five times, and I finally said, " Ma’am, we would not be here if we were not sure. Her response to us was, I just spoke to him a couple of days ago, and he was supposed to come home next week. She immediately got up from the table, called her dad, and notified him. She collapsed to the floor and was crying. The 1SG and I just stood there. We were there for a while, and I remembered that when she asked me to pray, I had to pause a few times to keep from losing it. Cindy, I thought about your husband through the years, and I often wondered how you and your son are doing. I have often prayed for you and your family. And I thank your husband for his sacrifice to our country. I do hope you see this, and I will continue to pray for you and your family. God Bless You Chaplain Will Strong Jr. US Army Retired Romans 8:37

Philip A. Murphy-Sweet

Phil worked for me when he volunteered to deploy to Iraq with the Joint Contracting Command. He was a great officer, a great friend and an incredible husband/father. He was just a couple of days away from returning from his deployment. I received an email from him on 5 April requesting to stay a bit longer so he could finish the job started. I had not yet responded to his email when I was notified by our Commanding Office on Easter morning that Phil had been killed. Miss you Phil!

David A Wilkey Jr

A good young man. My son's best friend.

Jose Ricardo Flores-Mejia

It's been 20 years since your passing... However, I never forgotten the day you told me I am married, I am going to have a baby, and day your son was born... You touched some many lives in different ways in your brief time on this earth in ways others can't imagine... Some people can be given a life time on this earth and accomplish nothing, and there are some people who are given a short time and accomplish so much... You Mr. Flores-Mejia aka Ricky was that person and soldier who accomplish so much in your shoft tme... As I see the days pass by, and the war seems to be a distant memory, your memory is still alive in my life, and still on this and like other days with my grandchildren I sit back like we did many times and listen to those West Coast oldies... "Never Forgotten"

Frank E. Adamski III

To the family of Frank Adamski, including his wife and daughter, my sincere condolences. I plan to make sure he is never forgotten.
