"Ethel Bohle was in the attic of her Severn home Friday morning, retrieving photos of her grandson, Brad, from more than five dozen albums and recalling memories of the 29-year-old soldier who was killed this week in Afghanistan.

One of her favorite memories involved her husband, Edward, who died three years ago.

"They would do woodworking together, and Brad even had a lathe in his house," she said. "After they were done working, Pop would make him a milkshake and shave the ice for it. When Brad's father came to tell me the bad news, he said, 'I guess Brad and Pop are having a milkshake.' "

Sgt. 1st Class Bradley Bohle, an Army Green Beret medic serving in the 3rd Division, 7th Special Forces Group, was killed with two other soldiers when their Humvee was hit by an improvised explosive device Tuesday while they were patrolling in Helmand province.

Sergeant Bohle, who grew up in Glen Burnie, is survived by his wife, Elizabeth, and three daughters, ages 9, 6 and 3. They were living in Sanford, N.C., near Fort Bragg. Sergeant Bohle had been in the military since graduating from North County High School in 1998.

It was his second tour of duty in Afghanistan since completing Special Forces training at Fort Bragg in March 2008. According to his grandmother, his first tour ended in December, and he returned in July."
