| Todays ride was excellent. It was my first ride since returning from my own second tour in Iraq.
I was honored to take part in remembering this fine soldier. Upon my units arrival to Kuwait on our journey to Iraq, This soldier and his unit found us out right away being a fellow mass guard unit and helped us out in many ways. I can not begin to thank them all enough.
Rest in Peace 1SG !! |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of 1SGT James Raymond, ANG 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, James.
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.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |
