A HERO was lost
In a war long ago
Now he has come home
Our Honor we will show
He went to battle
In a far away land
He gave his all
He made his stand
Honor and respect
To you must be paid
The PGR will take you
Where to rest you will be laid
Look for the FLAGS
Listen for the rumble
The PGR is coming
With hearts oh so humble
We pay great honor
To one so brave
Your final return
We waited and craved
Honor and respect
Is long over due
The PGR will be there
To show it for you
His sacraflce must always be remembered
His memory must never dim
We are still free Americans
Because of HEROS like him
Welcome home, Warrior
A job well done
We are still the greatest
Because of you, an AMERICAN SON
MAY OUR ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS THOSE WHO ARE NOT YET HOME FROM WARS OF YESTERDAY AND MAY HE HOLD THEM IN HIS LOVING ARMS FOR ETERNITY.

Standing at the ready to honor our HEROS of today, yesterday and tomorrow. Any time, Any where because IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. MISSION FIRST.
LIVE EVERYDAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST ONE. IT COULD VERY WELL BE.

2LT Cassidy,
First of all, welcome home. Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Kenneth Cassidy.
I offer my thanks for the true character that is embodied in this American soldier. May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we now honor a true hero who answered the call to serve his country and dedicate a precious segment of his life to freedom.
In your difficult times be mindful that Kenneth has left a mark on our world and in our hearts.
Stand Down Kenneth. Your watch has ended. You made a difference. You will be missed.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
