My sincere condolences to Clint's wonderful family. I served with Clint in the 163rd and always counted on him to do the job. He was always motivated, cheerful and worked hard. His dedication to his family, friends and his work was always admirable. May God bless and watch over you and keep you safe. I am proud of Clints service and was proud to have served with him. He was a good soldier.

O God, the Father and defender of your people, whom neither space nor time can separate from such as continue in your keeping: be present, we beseech you, with those who are parted from us; prosper them and do them good; guide and direct them in all their undertakings; let nothing hurtful beset them and no evil befall them; and grant that, up-held by your right hand, they may arrive in safety at their journey˜s end; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Clint was a great young Sergeant...he always did what was asked and has the distinction of serving his country very honorably in a time of global unrest. Not everyone can say that. I am comforted to know that we will meet up again on the big OP in the sky and that until then, he will be watching over us.
