CPL Warford III,
Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your untimely 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.

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

Still no call from the CAO, but I have been contacted by the family of Cpl. Warford. The memorial services will take place in Marlin (East of Temple) and interment will be in Lott.
If the family could make the decision, we would be invited; however, the decision rests with Mrs. Warford. We should know tomorrow by 1500hours.
Please remain in prayer for this family as they make some of the hardest decisions they will ever make. Remember them in your thoughts and whatever decision they make, will be the correct decision for them.
God bless Billy Warford and his family. May they know peace!?
