I am so reminded of the saying, “all gave some. So gave all. God bless those that have served and those that gave so that freedom may endure.

I miss you buddy.

Thank you, Mr. Mitchell, for taking the time to honor all of these men and women and especially for this one of Nate. He was a great man, a great friend, and definately a one of a kind person.

What a truly moving project. I certainly hope Mr. Mitchell continues it through to the end. I was glad to see Nathan Bruckenthal as part of this special effort; too often the CG gets left off as one of the nation’s armed services. Nathan’s sacrifice disproves that common oversight. Seeing most of them in civilian clothes versus their military uniform drove home how much of this era’s conflicts is truly one fought by the natin’s citizen Soldiers/Sailors/Airmen/Marines and Guardians.

Mr. Mitchell. Thank for this painting honoring our fallen shipmate. I’m proud to say that I made it through boot camp along side Nate in November-154. His words as our cadence caller rang through our hearts and kept us motivated towards the goal of being a guardian of the sea and protector of our nation. I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet with him one last time while we were stationed in Miami together before he departed on that deployment. R.I.P Nate, friend and shipmate.

Mr. Mitchell, thank you for such a wonderful painting. I’m proud to say I went through boot camp alongside Nate in November-154. His words as the cadence caller rang through our hearts and kept us motivated. I’m glad I got to meet with him one last time in Miami before he departed for that trip. R.I.P friend and shipmate.

Thank you remembering Nate, as a member of TACLET South we look at his face everyday as a reminder that our job is dangerous. Nate is a clear example of Honor, Respect and Devotion To Duty. Mr. Mitchell, is there a possiblility to have a copy of this protrait to place at TACLET SOUTH? I would love to have a copy and make up a plaque with the Poem that he wrote. Thank you again for this capture and please contact me with any questions.
