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. T.G. Mitchell, MSC, USN
WWII, Korea, Vietnam
Commencement, Georgetown University
June, 1963
Today is the 17th Anniversary of my Father's death. April 10, 1998 was Good Friday that year, and he went to his Eternal Reward at approximately 1730 hours. I hold that to be fitting as he was a stalwart disciple of our Lord from his youth until he died. He remains on 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 guidance.

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! |
