Patriotism is more than a sentiment; it is a conviction based upon a comprehension of the duties of a citizen and a determination loyally to perform such duties.

Rest In Peace Ronald Carlson.
May he be laid to rest to view the peaceful ol' Muddy Mississippi as it rolls by New Boston.
Our sincerest condolences and prayers for family and friends.
I believe I knew this man from way back when. And from what I remember, he was a very good man. Spending 48 years in Western Illinois affords you the opportunity to meet a lot of good people with good strong fiber growing through them.
I wish I could make this one.

| Wow, what a day, for this being one very short fused mission; we had 25 people show up to show respect to this man and his family/community. Riders from Galesburg, Oquawka, Canton, Geneseo,Aledo, New London, Gilson,Princeton, Peoria, Kicitapoo, Clinton (IA), and Davenport (IA). 2 members were on their first mission. It made me so proud to see all of you and I personally thank you. |
