I wish to express my profound condolences to family and friends of Jonathan Emard.
May your sorrow be tempered by the fact that we are honoring a true hero who answered the call to serve his country and dedicate a precious segment of his life towards freedom.

and freedom has a taste and price the protected never know..."

I Remember You
When I walk into my church,
free and without fear,
I remember you.
When I see children playing in the school yard,
girls and boys of all kinds,
I remember you.
When I see families working together,
regardless of religion or nationality,
I remember you.
When I go to sleep
without worry for my family's safety,
I remember you.
When I see our flag waving in front of my home,
and when I can salute that flag without fear of reprisal,
I remember you.
When I remember you,
I think of the sacrifices you made so I could have these things.
I think of your commitment and your service
beyond mere duty.
I think of all that you have given
so that I and those whom I love can be free.
When I pray at night and give thanks
for the blessings God has given,
I remember you.

SPC Emard,
Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

| It was an honor to stand in respect for SPC Jonathan D. A. Emard on Friday. My mother had the honor of meeting SPC Emard before he deployed when he visited Shiloh Terrace Baptist Church with some of his family. She was very impressed with him and said he was a very respectful young man. I pray for SPC Emard's family and friends. May God grant you strength, courage, and comfort as you greive. Thank you SPC. Emard for serving and for sacrificing to preserve my freedom. |
