My country lost a soldier today, a good man, an honorable man. He had seen much horrors but never lost his humanity. He lived a long life, was loved and was loved. He had earned the honor and esteem of his friends and countryman. I don’t believe a man can do much better than that. I grieve for his loss and his family’s sorrow but I feel joy for him, his values and how he lived his life. Go with your head held high, Command Sergeant Major, to the Mansions of the Lord.
