“Bragg Mom Consumed by Baby’s Death”

Every time I see a new story on the unexplained infant deaths at Fort Bragg – 12 since 2007 – my heart breaks. Maybe my love for my own little guy (who is about to turn two!) just pulls up deep sympathy for the women who are sorting through these tragedies. Regardless, these stories never fail to bring tears to my eyes.

Military.com has another story today on the subject — an intimate interview with the mom of one of the children. It looks at the details surrounding her little guy’s death as well as possible causes.

Read it with some kleenex nearby.

Watch our interview with a spouse living on Fort Bragg about the feelings on post surrounding this subject.

    You know I gave Brittany your email address to contact you about this. We have been talking on Facebook and yesterday I met her in person for the first time and you would never know from looking at her just how much she has been thru. She is truly amazing.

    Wondering if the drywall used in the housing came from China. I remember reading after hurricanes, drywall from China had chemicals not used in the US that made the inhabitants ill. Drywall had to be torn out. I feel for those that have lost children, but feel independant investigators will do a better job than depending on the government.

  3. my son was born here at belvoir- but we lived at bragg for two years- and he was over vaccinated by the army. I wonder if the deaths had any thing to do with vaccination.
