**SHORT NOTICE MISSION**

Robert Ryland "Kubota Bob" Morris

U S Air Force Veteran

Panama City, FL

Wednesday, July 23, 2008

 

The family of Robert Ryland Morris has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand for their Hero in Honor of his life and service to our nation at a memorial service for him in Panama City, FL on Wednesday, July 23, 2008.  Bob was born in Dayton, Ohio, and moved here from Boston in 1982. He was employed with BCL Civil Contractors and was a U. S. Air Force veteran. Bob liked to fish, shoot pool, golf, and ride his Harley-Davidson. He was a member of the Panhandle Riders Club.  Robert Morris, 57, died Friday, July 18, 2008, as the result of a motorcycle accident.  Mr. Morris didn't hesitate to stand for our country, now it's our turn to stand for him.

 

This mission will consist of a flag line where we will stand in silent honor for his funeral service.  There will be no procession after the service.

Funeral services:

Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 10:00 AM

 

Southerland Family Funeral Home

100 East 19th Street

Panama City, FL 32405

 

Staging:

 

The parking lot directly across the street from Living Word Fellowship Church on 19th street; this is just off of Highway 231 on 19th street, and will be very close to the large water tower, just look for the bikes.  This location is just 2 blocks East of Southerland Funeral Home, so the ride there will be short.

 

Stage:              8:15 am

Briefing:           8:45 am

KSU:                9:00 am

Flag Line:        9:05 am

 

The ride captains for this mission are:

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Robert Ryland "Kubota Bob" Morris,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 Robert Ryland "Kubota Bob" Morris, Air Force 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, Robert.
 
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.
