Timothy E. Bradshaw Sr. was born in a Cotton Mill Community of East Rockingham, NC. On Valentine's Day, 1950 he entered the United States Army. Basic training was at Fort Knox, KY and soon he was on his way to the Korean War. A member of the 15th Battalion Field Artillery, 2nd Infantry Division, he was one of the few surviors of his unit that was over taken by the Chineese while he was in the hospital in Japan. He was a member of a 105mm Howitzer. Later he served on the 280mm Cannon known as "Atomic Annie". Before his career ended in 1969, he was in combat once again in a place called Viet Nam. Upon retirement from the Army, he walked away with a Purple Heart from each war. He was a Loving Father and a hard worker who always provided for his family. To many he was known as "Buddy". He was a lover of life and was given a measure of 74 years. Fishing was his favorite sport. In the last few years of his life, he revisited his old military post at Fort Sill, Ok as well as a trip to Yellowstone National Park, Little Bighorn National Monument, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. Most importantly, he confessed his salvation prior to his death and now, his Spirit rests in Heaven.
