It is very sad and my prayers go to the Halpert family in this time of grief. I think of how many times I was in harms way and the same thing could have happened to me or one of my shipmates. This is so sad and he had not been able to do one patrol before he went on his Final Patrol. God bless and sailor rest your oars so young were you.
