Itinerary Update for mission to honor CSM Roger Haller
The following information has just been provided to us by the family and confirmed by the funeral director. The Visitation/Memorial Services for CSM Roger Haller will be held at:
Sailwinds Park, 200 Byrn Street, Cambridge, MD 21613 - Phone Number: 410.228.7245
First Visitation: Tuesday, 30 JAN 07, 1500-1700 hours
Second Visitation: Wednesday, 31 JAN 07, 1100-1300 hours
Memorial Service: Wednesday 31 JAN 07, 1300 hours
Ride Captains, plan routes and departure times to arrive 30 minutes prior to visitation times. Final rallying point in Cambridge will be finalized by Saturday evening and posted. I will try to get enough local support to cover Tuesday afternoon, so that those of you who can only come for one day, come down on Wednesday for the memorial.
I can't stress enough how the weather will be a factor on this one. Those riding...you know the deal. Those coming in cages...dress like you're going to ride, and consider carpooling. Sailwinds is right on the water, so in addition to the low temps...wind-chill will be a factor.
For those that wish to stay overnight, some have made reservations at the Days Inn in Cambridge. The number is 410.228.4444. The cost of the room is around 79.00.
Please continue to monitor the thread for updates

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Command Sgt. Maj. Roger W. Haller. 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, Roger.
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. |
