Michael J Mackinnon

West Point, 1997

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Jerrod Scott on May 30, 2016:

You haven't likely met a hero.

I have.

He could do more pushups, situps, pullups, and run faster. He could box, wrestle (I could whip him here) and swim (no chance to beat him there).

He believed in our country. He believed in his unit and he believed in our way of life (his kids and wife).

If we could see a hero.

If his kids knew he was a hero.

If they only knew.

HE WAS A HERO.
