The Navy Seals have a saying « A Hero dies twice. Once with his death and twice if their name is not spoken again. Let's not forget the names of our Fallen Warriors.« You will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our great country. Your parents and my mother loved you beyond measure, as did the entire Tingle family. Rest in peace. Till Valhalla .
