CPL DUSTIN BLAKE WOODS
The family of CPL Dustin Blake Woods has requested our presence at the services for their son. CPL Dustin Blake Woods, US Army, went to be with his heavenly Father on 23 June 08. Dustin was a decorated active duty Airborne Ranger who served 2 tours during the Global War on Terror.
FINAL ITINERARY
We will join the Honor Guard at the McEwen Funeral Home between 8:00 & 8:30AM on Wednesday, 2 July 08. The funeral home is located at 10500 Park Rd. in Charlotte, where we will honorably transfer CPL Woods to Forest Hill Church.
We will escort CPL Woods to Forest Hill Church, 7224 Park Rd. Once there we will stand tall as CPL Woods is honorably transferred to Church. We will then establish a flag line until the services begin at 10:00AM.
Following the service we will escort CPL Wood, his family, and friends to Sharon Memorial Park at 5400 Monroe Rd., Charlotte, and once again establish our flag line.
I will serve as Ride Captain and will be the point of contact for this honors mission. I can be reached at bkrbill@patriotguard.org or 828-478-5460.
Please post your intention to attend.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of CPL Dustin Blake Woods. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Dustin.
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. |

There is a time for everything,
And a season for every activity under heaven:
A time to be born and a time to die,
A time to plant and a time to uproot,
A time to kill and a time to heal,
A time to tear down and a time to build
A time to weep and a time to laugh,
A time to morn and a time to dance,
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
A time to embrace and a time to refrain,
A time to search and a time to give up,
A time to keep and a time to throw away,
A time to tear and a time to mend,
A time to be silent and a time to speak,
A time to love and a time to hate,
A time to for war and a time for peace.
