From Chip Drury: On patriotism.
Patrick read avidly, and loved history. He became an authority on Guadalcanal through a high school project. He knew the challenges and the hazards of military service. He aspired to receive a commission in the Marine Corps, though ultimately chose to be commissioned in the Navy to pursue carrier aviation. When I asked him why he wanted to serve, he told me, "It needs to be done, Dad, it's my generation's turn." The movie "America" in 2014 ends with a "rock guitar" version of the National Anthem. I usually cringe when the National Anthem is altered, but this is an exception. The accompanying video is excellent. I believe Patrick would salute it.

From Chip Drury
Navy Hymn sung extemporaneously by members of the USNA Glee Club (Sam Amyett, Ben Anderson, Ben Barsam, Zach Ferraguti, Halston Hoover, Paul Jackson, Michael Mason, Graeme Nelson, Dylan Pennell, Matt Sensenig, and Clay Verkouwin) in a tunnel at Battery Townsley on a rainy day in March, 2016. Byram Abbott, whom they had never met before, was outside the tunnel recording ambient sounds of nature and fortuitously captured this recording. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA7qaIsqcz0
On religion:
Patrick's next door neighbor in Mississippi was my age, a triathlete, a private pilot, and a car guy. Patrick visited him often. When we retrieved Patrick's car, his neighbor met us, cranked up his compressor, and checked our tires. He called Patrick "the son he never had." Once on the road, we turned on Patrick's radio. We heard "He Reigns," contemporary Christian music on WMSO! It moved me to tears. Selections below may or may not have been Patrick's favorites, but they make me feel closer to him and bolster my faith that I will see him again. Many of these "mixes" play for hours if you don't close the link. If some links don't work, it is often a copyright issue. Copying and pasting the link into a browser occasionally helps.
