The family of United States Marine Cpl Nicholas J Burns, Jr. has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in honor of their hero at services for him. Services will be held on June 24th at the Crystal River United Methodist Church. Cpl Burns was the victim of a hit-and-run motorist who ran a stop sign and caused a crash on U.S. 19 on Wednesday afternoon, June 18th . Cpl Burns did not hesitate to stand for us in the defense of our freedom; it is our turn to stand and honor him

If God didn't have a purpose for us - we wouldn't be here!
The nation that insists in drawing a broad line of demarcation between the fighting man and the thinking man is liable to find its fighting done by fools and its thinking done by cowards.

That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
