The Patriot Guard has been invited to assist in honoring Specialist Nicolas Brandon Booker who died in a motorcycle accident on April 14th near Ft. Riley, KS. The PGR was invited by his mother Debra "Dee" Kesterson-Booker. Spc. Booker was a decorated veteran of the War in Iraq (06-07) receiving many honors including the Purple Heart.
McComb's in Jackson is handling the funeral arrangements.
There will be a public visitation Thursday 4/24 from 4-8:00 PM and the funeral will be at the funeral home Friday 4/25 at 11:00 AM.
The PGR will stage at the Cape VFW on Kingshighway before KSU at 9:30 AM. We will form a flag line at the funeral, then escort the soldier and his family to the State Veterans Cemetery in Bloomfield for burial with full military honors.
RD will be the RC

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Spc Nicolas Brandon Booker. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one 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, Nicolas.
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.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

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. |
