My heart goes out to the Dale family.
He was a fine person who I totally respected and learned a lot from him especially during my years at Central State University as a ROTC cadet. To this day, I'm still in Army uniform after 30 years of service which I owe it all to CSM Dale.
"Present Arms"... ready front!

So sorry to hear about Harold. Jesus wept after the death of his friend Lazarus. John 11:35 We weep along with you.

Once again God saw the road was getting rough, and the road of life had become too hard to for CSM Harold Dale to travel and called him home. You remind us, Lord, through Solomon that to everything there is a season. We thank You for the earthly life You gave to this sergeant major and for the blessing during the sojourn here on the earth. We most especially thank You for the new life You granted this sergeant major in Jesus Christ. He broke the bonds of death by His resurrection. We rejoice at the hope of being reunited with him in the resurrection of all flesh. The NCO Corps thanks him for his selfless service act and his willingness to defend of America and all that we hold sacred. I believe for every fallen sergeant major like him there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift God has given the Corps. Rest easy, sleep well my brother. Know the line was held, your job is done. Rest easy, sleep well. Others have taken up where you fell, the line has held. Peace, peace, and farewell
