The sister has requested that we attend the service inside the chapel so that he will not be laid to rest alone. Sergeant Mitchell served in Vietnam from August of 1968 thru September of 1969. He enlisted in 1966 and spent a total of 10 years serving our nation. If at all possible please try to support this mission as it would mean the world to his sister. Thank you.

My wife and I wish to extend our condolences on your loss.
We stand with feet planted firmly on rich soil knowing what freedom is. Because of our veterans, I am free to honor God and country without persecution. Where there is injustice, I am free to fight. Where there is silence, I am free to speak. Where there is hate, I am free to love.
Your love one’s watch is over, may they rest peacefully in the arms of God.
