Rock Salisbury Mission – Moncks Corner, SC
On Monday, 5 May 08, EG “Rock” Salisbury passed away in the Veterans Hospital located in Charleston, SC.
The widow, Ann Salisbury, requested that the PGR escort the procession from Dial-Murray funeral home in Monks Corner to Givhans, SC.
Rock served in the Army from 1951-1953 and as a tank driver. Rock rode bikes, not so much for the love of motorcycles but for the love of his wife Ann who has had 3 softails and a sporty. Rock is survived by his wife Ann, 1 daughter, 2 sons and 1 grandson.
The day is Saturday, 10May08, and we are waiting for confirmation of a departure time from the funeral home but as it looks right now, it may be 1300. The ride to Givhans is approximately 40 miles.
Please keep checking back for updates.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of E.G. "Rock" Salisbury, Army 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, E.G.
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.

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."
