Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening –

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

Soldiers of the Greatest Generation
Stand The Watch Tonight!





Standing With Them, My Father:



Cdr. Thomas G. Mitchell, MSC, USN
WWII, Korea, Vietnam
Commencement, Georgetown University
June, 1963

Today is the 90th Anniversary of my Father's birth. It is now almost 19 years since he was called to his Eternal Reward. He stands watch above, along with his Brothers-in-Arms who have secured and protected our Freedoms for over two centuries. He stands watch over me lest I lose my way in the bitter winds that now blow. I love him dearly and greatly miss his counsel, his wisdom, and his love.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!
