This is a Confirmed ANC Mission Plan
============================
LCDR (RET) Joseph Priestly, USN, of Martinsburg, WV, was a veteran of WWII, Korea and Vietnam, who, among other things, piloted an LST during the landing at Inchon and commanded helicopters over the Mekong delta. He is to be laid to his final Hero's rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 30 September, 2008 at approximately 1245 hours with services at the Old Chapel on Ft Myer followed immediately by graveside services at ANC.
PGR West Virginia is escorting the Hero from Martinsburg, WV to ANC (see above referenced thread for that plan), and will join with the ANC contingent at ANC and proceed to the Old Chapel for the services there. At the Old chapel, we will mount an Honor Flag Line for the services, then follow the procession to graveside, where we will render Honors for services there.
The PGR mission plan for ANC includes meeting the incoming procession and Hero at the head of Memorial Drive, where the two units will combine, wait, and proceed to Ft Myer under direction of the ANC staff.

Escort: 1145 hrs to Old Chapel via "white line" road (approx time)
Honors: 1200 hrs Flag Line at Old Chapel

Ride Captain: Sid Marcus (301) 843-8546 home (301) 535-6817 cell

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of WWII, Korea and Vietnam veteran, Lt Commander Joseph Priestly, U.S. Navy (ret). My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Mr. Priestly, thank you for standing for our country and defending our freedoms and interests. As one of America's greatest generation you will always be remembered. Rest in peace sir. I salute you.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Thank you for my freedom LCDR Priestly. May you rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of LCDR (Ret) Joseph Priestly ,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.
