He was a committed family man and a great Reservist. It is great to hear that our brothers in arms in the NAVY family also regard him with fond memories and admiration.

We also pray for his son to pick up the pieces and carry on the legacy of his family as he recovers from what admittedly is a life changing loss. We have many members of our unit that were neighbors and close friends of Jughead and are sure to keep up with his surviving son's progress as he embarks on this unfortunate and tasking new chapter of his young life.

As to the man that took so much away from this world, I simply have nothing enduring to say. I am of the personal philosophy that we are ultimately judged as men and as legacies, in terms of how much of ourselves we give the world in comparison to what we take. The contributions of Jughead to our world are self evident. The amount of selflessness required of the man who took so much from us is so great I believe it only to be in Gods mercy that we could attain parity, for there is no amount of human penitence this man could give back in his lifetime to make us whole for what he has already taken. I choose to celebrate the legacy of our brother Jughead.

You will be missed brother. Tailwinds always.
