Aloha, Biglook! I hope you had a Blessed and Happy Easter! My number 3 son turns sixteen tomorrow. He's our cancer survivor - diagnosed shortly after his 5th birthday. Spent a year in weekly chemo and six weeks in daily radiation treatment. We almost lost him to a C. difficile infection during treatment, but he pulled through. I thought I knew about courage after coming home from the war - David showed me dimensions of courage I had not previously seen.



David, John & Daniel Mitchell - Front Royal, Virginia - June 2000



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)


Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

Aloha Doc!

Courage is a lesson to be found anew each and every time.

My son is here now, a survivor of ATV accident and I count my blessings every time I'm with him.
