'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Leroy George Grobstich, World War II Veteran, and American Hero. Thank You Mr. Grobstich for your service to our Country During WW II. Thank You for Your Willingness to serve, for Your Bravery and distinguished Service in time of War. It's because Brave and Heroic Men like you were willing to go to War, to place yourselves in harms way and endure the awful conditions of War, to give your life if necessary, that America is Still a Free Nation today. No, Freedom is NOT Free, as the blood of America's Heroes still testify today, Freedom doesn't come cheap...........
I Salute You Sir, with my deepest Respects. May You Rest In Peace. |

Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.
