My Prayers are with each service member without relative family. But be it known you are not without family in spirit and heart, as each individule who has ever served their country is your brother or sister and those for whos liberties of freedom were protected becasue of your sacrafices are indeed your family as well. My gratatude goes out to each and every one of you. Rest Easy.

God Bless these America's Heroes; Steven Aronoff, Air Force, Gerald Wynn, Navy, Walter Rogala,  Army and Cesar Iracheta, Navy.  The PGR family, their Brother's in Arms and a grateful nation will never let them be forgotten.

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Steven, Gerald, Walter and Cesar.
 
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.


Morning Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

It is an Honor to stand in as family to these Veterans. NO VETERAN SHOULD GO TO THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE WITHOUT THE HONORS THEY EITHER FOUGHT FOR OR STOOD UP FOR. That is the least that I can do. Please count me in as a "Family Member". They are after all "Our Brothers".

May God bless Steven Aronoff, Gerald Wynn, Walter Rogala, and Cesar Iracheta.  Rest in peace fellow Americans, fellow Patriots.  It will be an honor to stand for you, to see to it that your faithful service to this Great Nation will not go unrecognized, and to make sure that your passing from this life to the next will not be lonely and anonymous.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

A Mother asked President Bush, "Why did my Child have to die in Iraq?" Another Mother asked President Kennedy,"Why did my Child have to die in Vietnam?" Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms.
