Thank you Sir for your service. My glass is held high!

I am sad to hear of his passing. Though I've never had the honor to have met him, I could tell by the reverant tone of others that he was very much loved and respected here. He responded kindly to my post when I had my heart attack and I felt special because I know I am a nobody compared to others on this site. Rest in peace Sir and Aloha oe.

Sad, another great passes. Getting old sucks. RIP Cass. GROG

Cass,

You sir are the Gold Standard! I hope we all live as meaningful a life as your example! Hooyah Frogman!

RIP, Cass.

Rest Well Ken......Rest Well.

RIP Cass, you will be missed.

RIP, Sir

RIP Frogman

RIP Cass

I always read his posts closely because he always had something of value to say. We are diminished with his absence.

RIP Cass

I was lucky enough to exchange PM's with him on things completely unrelated to national security/military affairs. I will always treasure the stories and insight that he left us with on this site.

RIP Cass, you will not be forgotten.

Respect

RIP Sir. I always looked forward to his thoughts and observations.

I can't believe I didn't see this until now.

RIP, Sir.

It sounds like he had a life worthy of an HBO miniseries. And yet, you'd never hear that from him. I thank God for guys like him.

I paid attention to everything he posted. He was a national treasure.

Rest in peace Sir.

RIP Cass. You are a legend and my hero.

We only spoke a few times on the phone the first time didn't go so well, but the rest were good. Always read your post and learned something, you will be missed but never forgotten.

another of "the greatest generation" gone. I read his post with interest.

Holy Smokes! I am saddened, though absolutely honored to have known him outside of this forum.
Rest well dear friend and warrior. Thank you for enriching my life with your friendship.

RIP Cass.

Our world was better for having him in it.
He had Been There, Done That before many of our member's parents were born.
As far as SOF goes, he was one of the founding fathers.

Wow. I totally missed this news. Sad to hear. Rest easy, sir.

I just returned from out of state with no access to internet. What a shock. Speechless at this time. A true American hero, and we are all better off for having been touched by him in some way or other.
Very apropos his passing was on July 4th.
Fair winds and following seas, shipmate.

The second thought that came to mind after sadness. How fitting that he share the day of other great Americans, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

You will be well remembered Cass and greatly missed. A truly great American.

This is truly sad news. Cass was more than generous to me with his time and I will forever be grateful. Rest easy Mr. Garrett.

"A sailor, a boat, and ammunition
All together, that's demolition"

What a great legacy.
RIP

I enjoyed reading his commentary. Rest In Peace.

A great loss. I always valued his word. Rest In Peace.

Was in the process of completing a move and didn't catch this until now. Always enjoyed Cass's writings.

See you on the other side, Sailor!
