My sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Morrissey. You will be missed “Brother”. Stand down your tour is done.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of
John T. Morrissey, USMC, Viet Nam 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, John.
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. |

The Memorial Service went off well. No Misquito's eating anyone alive as of yet. The Marines in true form and as Marines do, were professional.
10:00 AM Memorial Started
10:10 AM Memorial Ends
Left and in which went to the base of Mt POW/MIA and began up.
Weather was 59 and beautiful, partly cloudy.
2000 ft up, bear was found.
Phil wanted to try again and went up two other different ways in which he saw more bear signs. He decided it would not be a good idea to continue. A Black Hawk will hopefully be used to scatter the ashes on another day.
