The morning he came back to the Naval Academy was a Wednesday, but it will stick in your memory as the day you heard that Ted Kennedy had died and the week when you learned that someone might have killed Michael Jackson.

A much better man than either Kennedy or Jackson, IMHO.
Amen to that.
Thank you, and Godspeed, Captain. Prayers for solace for your family.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don’t even know him. But I do know that that sob Kennedy’s hands were dripping with the blood of better individuals than he was.
I do have to note
One died in the service of his Nation
the other died while ‘servicing’ his Nation.
Ted K - goodby to rubbish!
May he Rest In Peace and may his family stay strong.
“There were a dozen Marine captains in dress blue in the overflowing pews of the chapel. Marines may blink hard a few times, but they don’t cry. Their mothers and widows cry for them.”
Ashley has a wonderful way with words. Prayer of thanks for this article, and for Matt’s life.
Please say a special prayer for his Mom today.
I'm getting too old and too many black bracelets.
