My brother and I served with Airman Bowen on active duty in the Virginia Air National Guard after 9/11 when we were all being deploying around the world for Operation Enduring Freedom. He not only deployed to Kyrgyzstan but he also later volunteered to deploy to Iraq for the Iraq War in Kirkuk Iraq. He was an honorable man full of integrity who wanted to protect and serve his nation and later his fellow Virginians as a police officer. I truly respect his courage and sacrifice and will always remember his easy going and laid back personality.
