I don't know if I missed this on the news, or the news just didn't see fit to air it across the entire country. Thank you Mark, for your service to our country. It doesn't matter if you are on an ocean across the world, or stationed in port, things can go south at any time. You answered the call. You ran to assist your brother in need and gave your life in that effort. Thank you sir.

He went to work one morning and did not know
This shift he served would bring such sorrow
This call to duty would be his last
His time on earth is now his past
God set this day as his time to go
Rest in peace MA2 Mayo, now a hero
He gave the ultimate sacrifice
With integrity and pride he paid the price
His family, friends and colleagues will mourn
As an angel in heaven he is now reborn
His golden heart stopped beating
Hardworking hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the very best.

Rest in peace, brother in arms. Your watch is over. You defended your ship and your ship mates. You have done your duty. A grateful nation should never forget the sacrifices at home and abroad of the caliber of man you represent. God speed. To your Mother, please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your son. He gave his life to protect others in peril. NO man have greater love, than to give up his life for a friend. This was such a case with your beloved son.

MA2 Mayo,

Rest well in the arms of the Lord.

To Your Family,

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, family and loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for the past three years. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.
