The family of Thurman "Jack" Jackson has requested the PGR to escort his ashes to Santa Fe National Cemetery. Jack served in the Army Air Corps and was a fighter pilot in New Guinea during WWII.
Date: Monday, 12 May 08
Time: 11:45 AM
The following is the itinerary for this mission.
1145: - Staging will be at 6421 Katson Ave. NE.
Directions: major cross streets are Montgomery/San Pedro,
Going west on Montgomery, turn north at Marla (first light west of Louisiana) if traveling
east, (Marla is the first light past San Pedro) proceed to stop sign (Prairie), turn right
to stop sign (Indian Springs) then turn left (north) and follow around curve which will be
Katson Ave which will take you west. Follow till you see the cars and motorcycles. This
will have you in the correct direction for departure to Santa Fe.
1200 - Establish Flag Line.
1230 - Depart for Santa Fe National Cemetery.
1430 - Internment Ceremony.
Hope to see as many of you that can make it.
We have been invited to the reception following the return from Santa Fe. As the family
needs a head count ASAP please call (505) 771-8497 or email me (jknorst@cableone.net) and I will submit one RSVP for the group.

'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of WWII veteran Thurman "Jack" Jackson. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you for standing for our country and defending our freedom Mr. Jackson. As one of America's greatest generation you will always be remembered. Rest in peace sir. I salute you.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air. . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Thurman 'Jack' Jackson, Army Air Corps, WWII 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, Thurman.
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.
