Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Vietnam Veteran, PGR Member Phil Kittle. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Phil.
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. |

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

Pat,
Phil will always be remembered in this house for the help and hospitality during the week of Joshua Pearce's service.
Guymon and the United States has lost another hero, and that's using a couple of definitions of the word "hero"!
Deepest condolences to you and your family, and to all of Phil's friends around the country.
Phil, your tour is over, rest easy!

As with any volunteer organization, don’t volunteer for a job unless you have the knowledge and time to do the job right. Anything less is a disservice to the organization.

Respect for the military has sometimes been lost. This should not happen again....ever.
The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.

To my brother Patriot Guard Rider, Phil Kittle. Thank you Phil, not only did you do our country proud as a Vietnam Vet, you decided that your service wouldn't end there. You unselfishly signed on to honor our Fallen Heros and gave to them what you didn't receive. I only hope that you found peace and healing somewhere in there for yourself while honoring these young warriors. Nobody knew better than you the necessity for the PGR. I didn't know you personally, but I know you through your deeds and you "are" a great man. Rest in peace, my brother.

Mr. Kittle,
Thank you for your service to the PGR and for standing for those who fell on the battlefield. We also 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.

| From half way across this great country, may I send my most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Phil Kittle. I have great faith in Ok. Patriot Guard Riders to do the right thing, and give this great American the honors he deserves. May the gates of heaven be wide open, and every soldier that has passed before Phil, be at those gates for a welcome home, to an American hero. May the Lord give this family the strength to deal with the trying times ahead. As a Vietnam Vet., thank you Mr. Kittle, as a PGR member, a double thank you sir. God bless you and your family. |

| My deepest condolonces go out to the family of Phil Kittle. Phil and I rode together, laughed together, and cried together. He was my friend, my brother in Christ, and I will never forget our memories together. As a vietnam vet, Phil fought for our country, and was a patriot 100%. I don't think I will ever meet another person as devoted to his country, his family, and his friends. I will deeply miss you brother. We do not say goodbye, we say "See ya Later" my friend! |
