Maj. Guy Barattieri of Seattle, Washington was putting his life on the line at home even when he wasn't serving his country as a Green Beret. A 1992 West Point graduate, Barattieri left the Army to become a Seattle police officer in August 2001, eventually earning the nickname "Bear" for his physical presence. He also had a giant heart. The terrorist attacks of 9/11 a month later, however, tugged at his West Point code of "duty, honor, country." Barattieri left the department in 2004 and returned to military duty. He was married only a year to Laurel, "the love of his life," and the father of a 3-month-old daughter. He was originally from Pleasant Ridge, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Guy worked for the Seattle Police Department from March 2001 to August 2004. Barratieri graduated from West Point in 1992. He grew up in Pleasant Ridge, Ohio, before moving to Washington state. He was 36.
