Blue, my daughters have grown up from toddlers to middle school students during your years of service, and I’m so thankful that we have a lifetime of their pictures with you. We have embraced Trip with open hearts, but there will never be another Blue quite like you! This quote from one of your media stories today perfectly says everything that I can’t:

“Symbols matter. Uniforms, flags, banners, even mascots. They’re like pieces of your heart that you can see.”
– Ronald D. Moore

Thanks to you and your family for all you have done for Butler Nation. GO DAWGS!
