Walter Cronkite – Fair Winds and Following Seas.

We Salute You Commadore, Rest in Peace

I wanted to say a little bit about the passing of a shipmate of mine Walter Cronkite, I never personally knew him and though he was a bit before my time, his charisma and outstanding journalism truly set the precedent for many to come.    He was sought to provide information about the world around us and he excelled at it.  His highest character quality is shown in his relationship in the United States Coast Guard as an auxiliary member who volunteered his time and efforts in the service of others, not for money but of the kindness of his heart and his desire to help those around him.

Farewell Commodore, Walter Cronkite; May the wind be at your back and sun shine upon your face.
