Updated 13 Jun 08 2000 edt S Sturgis
UPDATE
The Patriot Guard Riders have been invited to participate in rendering final honors to Master Chief Petty Officer (E9) Clyde C. McLain, US Navy Retired. MCPO McLain served on active-duty until 1968, at which time he joined the Fleet Reserve retiring in 1970. He was a veteran of World War II, the Korean Conflict, and the Vietnam War, serving onboard ships in the Pacific Fleet.
Funeral services will be conducted on Monday, 16 June at the Covenant Presbyterian Church (4848 North Five Mile Road, Boise) at 1400. Following services, Master Chief McLain will be interred at the Dry Creek Cemetery (9600 Hill Road, Boise).
STAGING:
Boise Area Riders: 1145-1245 at the Albertson¢s parking lot (4700 North Eagle Road, Boise). From I-84, take Exit 46 north, travel approx three blocks (crossing E Franklin Road, E Fairview Avenue, and W Ustick Road). Albertson¢s will be on the east (right) side of the intersection just before North Eagle Road and West McMillian Road.
Mountain Home Area Riders: 1015-1045 at the Walmart parking lot (off of I-84, Exit 95).
Twin Falls Area Riders: 0845-0915 at the Flying J parking lot (off of I-84, Exit 173).
Due to the fact that all Treasure Valley area Ride Captains are out of town on business or otherwise obligated, and I am out of state on family business, specific details of this mission are still being gathered, and will be briefed at the staging area.
Interim Ride Captain Wes Steele has agreed to RC this mission. He can be reached at 208.888.6264 ( h ) or 208.340.4740 ( c ) or at wdsteele33@netscape.net. (Thank you, Wes, for stepping up and taking this on.....)
As mentioned, specific details of this mission will be briefed by Wes at the staging area.
Please continue to monitor this site for possible updates.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of MCPO (ret) Clyde C. McLain, USN, 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, Clyde.
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.

Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
