In the case of one Soldier, when the time came to reflect on how he affected those around him during his life, it was known that he was a positive influence on anyone who knew him.
Private First Class Brice Murrill Scott, a member of Charlie Troop, 4th Cavalry Squadron, 4th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, was remembered during a ceremony at the Morris Hill Chapel held on August 18.
"PFC Scott has left behind his generous deposits of love, in us, " said Cpt. Thomas J. Lesh, the Chaplain who spoke at the memorial service.

The Morris Hill Chapel was full of Soldiers, Family and friends of Scott. Those who spoke during his service seemed to have much more to say than time allowed. However, the most important thing about Scott was not said with words but was spoken through the feelings of love that was shared by those in the chapel that day. The people he had affected and who know that they had been positively affected by knowing Scott.
