This is a Confirmed Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) Mission
==============================================
Back on 23 August, 2007 we posted mission threads for 14 Heroes who died in a helicopter crash in Multaka, Iraq on 22 August, 2007. In the ensuing weeks PGR stood in honor for services to many, if not all, of the 14 Heroes.
Now, we are being asked to stand again for those same Heroes at a Group burial as they are laid to their final Heroes' rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 24 October, 2008 at approximately 1100 hours.
Detailed planning is underway and a final mission plan will be posted here as they are completed.
Please offer you condolences to the Group of Heroes - those who gave their all that we may be free.
Please stand ready to ride this mission for those who gave so much for US!

We pray that the Lord Jesus is there with you to hold you and to give you His Peace and Comfort as you lay your loved ones to rest in our nations most Hallowed Ground at Arlington National Cemetary.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of these 14 Heroes.
May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. They are
America's Heroes that will NEVER be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Corry, Paul, Matthew, Rickey, Derek, Jason, Garrett, Jeremy, Phillip, Joshua, Nathan, Michael, Jessy and Tyler.
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.

'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

God Bless these troops and give their families peace with the Knowledge that they were involved in a mission of importance that some of America has forgotten.
With Patience and Courage their Demise will not be in Vain, we will keep up the fight until our country tells us to stop.
It is because of the hero's that went ahead of me that I continue to fight to honor them.
