Joseph,
You may have been called by the Lord to return home, but you will be missed. You will NEVER be forgotten. My family and I will pray for you and your family every day. Thank you for protecting me and my family. You answered the call and paid the price. You did this for my family and my nation. I will forever remember the sacrifices you and all the others have made on my behalf. I am proud to have worn the same patch that you did. You have truely lived the motto "Climb to Glory".
It is with a profound sadness and heavy heart that I stand ready to Honor this HERO.
God Bless America and all of her Armed Forces..... |

The Citadel Prayer
Almighty God, the source of light and strength, we implore Thy blessing on this our beloved institution, that it may continue true to its high purposes.
Guide and strengthen those upon whom rests the authority of government; enlighten with wisdom those who teach and those who learn; and grant to all of us that through sound learning and firm leadership, we may prove ourselves worthy citizens of our country, devoted to truth, given to unselfish service, loyal to every obligation of life and above all to Thee.
Preserve us faithful to the ideals of The Citadel, sincere in fellowship, unswerving in duty, finding joy in purity, and confidence through a steadfast faith.
Grant to each one of us, in his (her) own life, a humble heart, a steadfast purpose, and a joyful hope, with a readiness to endure hardship and suffer if need be, that truth may prevail among us and that Thy will may be done on earth. *Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

| Scott, That sounds like a good plan to me. Let me know when and where and I'll meet you there. The 50's McDonalds might be good again since it's right there at 94 but anywhere is fine with me. I'm hoping that Jerry can make it but not sure being a work day and he's all the way in Erie. |
