I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Joseph Madigan.
I offer my thanks for the true character that is embodied in this American serviceman. May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we now honor a true hero who answered the call to serve their country and dedicate a precious portion of their life to freedom.
In your difficult times be mindful that Joseph has left a mark on our world and in our hearts.
Stand Down Joseph. You will truly be missed.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of CPT (ret) Paul Joseph Madigan, Army, Korean War 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.
