Thank you, Bob, for your service during the "Forgotten War" and to the service you provided the community of Sistersville for so many years. I am certain God has welcomed you with open arms as you approached the Gates of Heaven.
Dorothy, Mike, Lisa and all of Bob's family and friends, may you find healing in God's comfort and mercy. Know that he is now in a far better place, yet continues to watch over each of you from his place among the Angels.
May you rest in eternal peace Bob. God Speed.
Respects,
Joe |

******************REMINDER*************REMINDER****************
Just a reminder to all who plan to attend today's mission. Remember, it IS Sunday. Church services at the First Baptist Church begin at 1030 and sometimes last until 1145 or beyond. There is also a Catholic Church directly South of this parking lot whose members also use this facility.
If you plan to arrive very early, be mindful of this if there are a lot of vehicles remaining in the parking lot. Please park along the side street until the parking lot is vacated.
I intend on arriving around 1200 myself.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respects,
Joe |

A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight; nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety; is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

*******************MISSION ACCOMPLISHED**********************
Finally, a day with nothing but sunshine greeted 10 PGR members as we gathered in Sistersville, WV in preparations for the final services for U.S. Army Korean War Veteran Bob King.
As we maintained our flag line prior to start of services at 1400, we were greeted and thanked for our participation by Bob's family members and friends within the community.
At the conclusion of services, we reset our flag line as he was moved from the funeral home for the short journey to his final rest in Greenwood Cemetery. We then broke our line and departed for the cemetery ahead of the procession so as to be there upon their arrival.
A short graveside service followed as we maintained our lines until the family had departed. As there was no military graveside rites, PGR participation was the primary display of Honor and Respect.
My deepest thanks and appreciation for the participation of our brothers and sisters from Pennsylvania, Barry Bioni, Don Miller, Jack Davis, Ken Erickson and Mary Ann as well as WV members Paula Richards, Bernie Doyle and Rick and Nikki Gifford. Without your participation, this mission would not have been the success it was. To do so on such short notice only exemplifies that your heart's are in the right place. Thank you all!
Dorothy, Mike, Lisa, Beth and all of Bob's family and friends, know that it was our honor to stand today for him. We thank you for the invitation to participate in this most difficult time in your lives. Growing up with all of you made this mission extra special from my standpoint. It is my hope and prayer that our presence provided a small measure of comfort to you on this day.
May you rest in eternal peace Bob. You shall forever be remembered. God Speed.
Respects,
Joe |
