| You are so deeply appreciated, SrA Yelner. I know you have been welcomed as a hero at heaven's gates, along with all our fallen warriors who have gone before you. Rest easy now, Jonathan, and know you will never be forgotten here. |
|
Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

To a fellow service member...
Here's a toast to the host
Of those who love the vastness of the sky,
To a friend we send a message of his brother men who fly.
We drink to those who gave their all of old,
Then down we roar to score the rainbow's pot of gold.
A toast to the host of men we boast, the U.S. Air Force! |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SrA. Jonathan A.V.Yelner, Thanks for being one of our heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.

| I wish I had something magical to say and make the pain go away for the family and friends of this brave soldier.
All I can do is pray all is well, duty is done, rest in peace, Johathan.
You will never be forgotten by your friends and family, and the rest of us for your ultimate sacrifice.

Here's to those to wish us well, all the rest can go to Hell.

"There is no greater love", say the Lord, "than to lay down your life for a friend".
Thank you and God Bless you, SrA Yelner, for being willing to do just that.... for me and mine.
'Rest easy, son, at the top of the stairs.'
Standing in spirit in Willow Springs IL TMR

This mission is complete. Sr. Airman Yelner know that you have touched many. They expected 200 but had closer to 400 people at your memorial. Those of us that had the honor of standing for you will remember your sacrafice. You will be in our hearts forever.
Rest in peace, my brother, rest in peace.

I took a few pics of the folks and bikes, we had 9 bikes and folks thanked us for being there, it was an honor.
Many hundreds of folks came to say goodbye. He will be missed...

Click on a pic for a larger pic, text for a pic is under a pic, pics are from top to bottom...
We arrived to escort Airman Yelner to the services, we had eight bikes waiting to ride...
The police were there in force and they had their work cut out, there were hundreds of family and friends to say goodbye.
We moved our bikes out of the way, which was good as it put us in the shade.
Some down time...
