Alabama has lost a great American. Sherman Rose, of Dothan Alabama recently passed away due to a brief illness, he was 88 years old.
Sherman Rose passing leaves behind a legacy of courage. Sherman was amongst the first black men to receive pilot training as part of the U.S. Governments Civilian Pilot Training Program, which led directly to the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen. Sherman later became an instructor of pilots during World War II and is credited with the precision flying and courage demonstrated by the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II.
Sherman later became a flight instructor at Fort Rucker, and served in this capacity for 20 years.
A mural of Rose and the Tuskegee Airmen was completed in 2001, and is located in Dothan.
Although Mr. Rose was never in the military, he was still attached to their very proud legacy, and was instrumental in the training of the famed RED TAILED ANGELS.
The family has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to ride and stand in honor of their loved one and in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen.

Thank you for my freedom Mr Rose. May you rest in peace.

Some people’s lives are beautiful examples of putting others first, and when they are gone, the lives of those they touched are so much richer, and the love they shared lives on and on.” |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sherman Twitchel Rose, Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."
Paul E. Babb Sr.
Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sherman Twitchel Rose, WWII Veteran May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will NEVER be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Sherman.
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.
