Sailor, Rest Your Oar All hands of the Patriot Guard Riders extend deep sympathy to the Family and Friends and Shipmates of United States Navy, WW II Veteran Paul Lanza Thankyou Sir for your Honor, Courage, Commitment, to the Greatest Navy in the World ! Thank you for your selfless courage, love and service to this Great Nation .We will not forget the sacrifice you made to protect our freedom and way of life. You are a true American Hero. .........BRAVO ZULU PAUL ..........Fair Winds And Following Seas......... E Pluribus Unum .........

May ride at anchor for a little space

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Paul Lanza, WWII Navy Veteran. 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, Paul.
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.

Another Mother asked President Truman, "Why did my Child have to die in Korea?" Another Mother asked President F.D. Roosevelt,"Why did my Child have to die at Iwo Jima ?" 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. |
