To Ryan's family - my absolute and sincere condolences. His sacrifice (and yours) will be forever honored in the hearts of all American patriots. I'm sure all of Issaquah shares your sorrow these days.
A thought for Ryan, as he sits in the company of Our Lord Jesus Christ - Well done good and faithful servant. Your watch, shipmate, is over and you have stood it well. You are relieved by those of us still here, hoping to make you proud as we carry on. Fair Winds and Following Seas Navy Seal.... Hooyah!
Ready to ride from Lacey, ready to honor a true Hero! |
