Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cpl. Keith Nurnberg,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."

On behalf of a grateful nation, we honor and thank Cpl. Keith Nurnberg for his military service. He is a hero and will never be forgotten.
Unfortunately Oops and I will not be able to attend this wonderful dedication, but will be there in spirit. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Tonya, son Keith Jr., his parents and all attending.

Cpl Keith Nurnberg will never be forgotten by the Patriot Guard Riders of Wisconsin.
It was a priviledge to honor him upon his return home to his family and it will be an honor to share this time with his family in his memory. |

FREEDOM ISN'T FREE
I watched the flag pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine saluted it,
And then he stood at ease...
I looked at him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square and eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes shot down?
How many died at sea.
How many foxholes were soldiers' graves?
No, freedom isn't free.
I heard the sound of Taps one night,
When everything was still;
I listened to the bugler play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant "Amen,"
When a flag had draped a coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and husbands
With interrupted lives.
I thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea.
Of unmarked graves in Arlington.
No, freedom isn't free. |

| It will be my honor to attend the dedication for Cpl. Keith Nurnberg. The street should now be known as a pathway to freedom, paid for by the ultimate sacrifice of this young American Hero. God bless Keith and God Bless the Nurnberg family. You will Always ride with Us. |

Almighty and gracious God, we commend to your care and safe keeping all the men and women that serve in our armed forces, as they defend our freedoms.
Protect them day by day with Your Devine grace; encourage them when they are weak and strengthen them in their times of trials.
When their way becomes dark, as it sometimes will, let the LIGHT of Your presence shine brightly to become the LIGHT unto their pathway.
Keep them safe from all hidden dangers, seen and unseen.
Keep them and their loves ones safe from all harm.
Shield and shelter them under Your loving arms, and let Your faithful promises be their armor of protection. Amen
