Michael Anthony Cerrone

West Point, 2004

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Matt Tonkin on November 24, 2006:

Mike,

Any words I offer fall far short of the rich testament you deserve. Your life was brief but heroic, your passing tragic but supremely honorable. You will forever be loved, missed, remembered, and toasted by your family and loved ones, your troopers, the Vikes, and every meathead whoever smashed weight alongside you in the Cell Block.

BG and Mrs. Cerrone,

God bless and keep you. My deepest condolences. Your son lived hard and died too soon so that other sons would not have to do the same. For allowing him to do that, for raising such a hero, you should have the thanks of every other American parent.

Matt Tonkin
