Seán, You gave the ultimate selfless sacrifice for Éire and for Peace in our broken world and I am immensely proud to be part of the Defence Forces and share that connection with you. Your memory will live on in my heart and mind and your passing will not have been in vain! See you in the next life but until then, could you ask the big man to console your family and friends, guide us as an organisation and build us up so that we can do our duty with pride, dignity and honour like you did so yourself!
