This was the 27th years of your loss Jason. We will never forget all that you brought in to our lives. You were well on your way to becoming an astronaut when you were lost on an F/A-18 mission during Operation Southern Watch. Three more of your brothers followed your lead and went to the USNA as well. Love you, Mom & Dad
