Every hero any of us stand for are special in their own way. Zack and the Grass family are special to me for two reasons. One is that although many were from my surrounding area and close enough to hometown heroes, Zack is the only one actually from my home town. Actually, I live in Navarre and the Grass' live half way between Beach city and Navarre.
Another reason will be understood by anyone who stood for Zack last June. It would be next to impossible to find a more caring, welcoming, patriotic family then the Grass'.
I don't have transportation and I don't know if I'll be able to get a ride or not, but if they want us to stand for Zack one more time, I'll be there one way or another. If I'm unable to secure a ride, I'll just head straight to the cemetery.
To the Grass Family: Thank you so much for extending us this honor one more time! |

It will be my Honor to do this Memorial Mission. I was there for the Grass Family and Zack when he returned state-side.
I will be returning from Washington DC. directly after the parade there Sunday the 25th To be in Beach City by early mornin. I am still waiting a reply back from Larry about further details.
Directly after the Memorial Mission I will be heading out to Carter Caves KY for the 3rd Annual Gerad Maggard Memorial Rally.
I know this event has landed on such a day that most Family's may have already made plans but I assure you one thing you will never find a more Loving and Caring Family to Honor and Support. I was overwhelmed and speechless from the Grass Family and there respect for the PGR when we was allowed to lay Zack to rest. I still personially stop by from time to time to visit Zack just the two of us and it is truely a great feeling. |

On a further note there is one gas station in Beach City and it is small and I have "NO" idea if it will be open on Memorial day. So please make sure you Bikes/Cars have plenty of fuel in them. I do know if you are coming from the North and are traveling down st rt 93 there is a better possability of getting fuel in Brewster,ohio. Navarre will be a good place to fuel up.
As soon as I hear anything as an update I will be sure to post. So please check the box at the top of the page... |

Ok I just talked to Larry and for starters the staging point has changed. The new staging location will be at the corner of 5th & Main.
I also found out that Legion and Amvets riders will be riding with us this day. All cages are welcome to attend and drive in this parade as well.

Thank you to the Grass family for extending this invitation to once again stand with you in honor, respect and pride.

To the family and friends of Cpl Zachary A Grass, may God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Zachary.
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.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cpl. Zachary A. Grass,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."

Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.
