Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jwan Yawer McGregor on May 30, 2011:

It was with great sadness, that we Learned of the passing of your son John. I had the honor of meeting John three years ago. My son, who was a plebe then, told me with utmost respect that John was prior service. I had the opportunity to have a coversation with him about his tour of duty in Iraq. John was an outstanding young man, and a an amazing leader. It struck me how mature, and humble he was. He was the kind of person you meet once, and you remember forever.

We are all grateful for his sacrifice, and our hearts go out to you.

Please accept our sincere condolences, and we pray that you have the strength, and patience to deal with your unbearable loss.
