I'm standing Thursday at the graveside services. It will be my honor and considered my duty to be there for the family and community of Clinton F. Rosamond.
This will be a reciprocal mission, and hopefully some of our other west Tennessee folks can make it to Mississippi for this on either side of the mission. I think we'll have some for the funeral home portion, as there are a lot of west TN PGR in/around Memphis. I put the word out to most all of our folks in west tenn.
I look forward to providing the best support I can for the family. |

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. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Clinton Floyd Rosamond, Army, Korean War 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, Clinton.
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.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Clinton Floyd Roseamond, Thanks for being one of our 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."

Let us not forget that MR Rosamond fought against the violent spread of communism. He served his country, but when he was engaging the enemy, he did it for the freedom loving people of Korea and the world. He is a hero to be shared by all such people whom he helped defend. The world owes him thanks and we shall deliver those thanks with our presence. We shall represnt a grateful nation and world this week, and we should all not forget that.
I look forward to rendering a final salute to such a man. |

| I arrived at Corinth MS and went to Tom Watson's home. From there, the two of us rode into Baldwyn. We were 2 of 10 mixed American Legion members and PGR.
A short graveside ceremony happened after all arrived from the funeral. The rain held off, the wind was cool and the flags flew briskly.
The family greeted us and let us know they were proud to have us there. This nation and the entire worlld owes this man the respect we showed today.
I want to thank the family for allowing us the distinct priveledge of standing with you in final tribute to a man who in most cases probably would say he was not worthy of such attention.
Doc Lee has been trying for years to find a mission in MS to attend. Finally, one came along that fit my schedule. I am very lucky to have been part of this today.
May the family be comforted by our presence and again THANKYOU to everyone who participated.
