Pvt. 1st Class Kyle Bohrnsen from Philipsburg, Montana graduated from Granite High School, where he played football. He enjoyed hanging out with his friends, riding Snocatts, and just being in the outdoors. A towering young man at 6 feet, 3 inches, and easily over 250 pounds before his enlistment, Kyle never used intimidation to get his point across. Instead, he used a solid handshake and gentle demeanor. Kyle first thought of enlisting in the service late in 2005 and talked in great detail with two longtime friends, Matt Mickelson and Sam Short, about the prospects of serving their country. The three would all later join the Army together, sticking with one another no matter what the circumstances or consequences. He loved the life that his grandfather, Norman, and grandmother, Corrine, helped provide with decades of hard work on the family land near Philipsburg. In his free time, Bohrnsen worked as a professional hunting guide. West of Philipsburg on Montana Secondary 348, a bridge near milepost 14 now carries his name, and a sign recognizes his service. The bridge was dedicated in his honor on July 1 2007. He was 22.
