Through the years of Sea Cadets watching Blaize grow and mature and proud that he chose an admirable career to serve others selflessly. My prayers to the family as the time has passed but I'm sure the pain has not succumbed. His memory will never die as he rides with us everyday. We all wear a memorial patch in his honor.
