| I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of this American Hero who stood tall for his homeland in this very sad time in your lives, but remember that you knew a hero first hand while the rest of us just get to hear about their heroic deeds. My prayers are that our GOD may bring peace and comfort to all of you during this tragic time. Please know that not just me , but a country full of people like me owe you a debt that can never be repaid. But please know that your loved one is now serving in the Army of our LORD in heaven, and the LORD said if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and recieve you unto myself that where I am there you may be also. Know that it says in the Bible in 2nd Corinthians 5:8 , we are confident I say , willing rather to be absent from the body and present with the LORD. No one can ever say that your loved one isn't a HERO, they were willing to serve that the rest of us may enjoy the freedom we do today, and the sacrifice you and your family have endured so our nation can remain the home of the free because of the brave. We are all brothers and sisters in arms and we don't forget one of our own, rest in peace my comrade, your mission is complete and now it's time for you to rest. May GOD Bless each and everyone of you. |

Lord Jesus help me as I mourn, comfort me with the knowledge of your love which is stronger than death. Enable me to trust you for the future of my love ones and myself. Help me to cast all of my care on you, knowing that the grave holds no power over those who trust in you. Amen. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SMSgt Thomas Clute, Air Nat'l Guard. 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, Thomas.
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.

Thanks much Borlo! Glad you arrived safely. Thank you, too, for journeying so far today to assist in this most honorable mission.
Groundhog also announced he arrived home safely approximately 1530.
My sincere "Thank You" to both of you!
Respects,

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SMSgt.Thomas Clute, Thanks for being our hero. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation of ours.
We salute you , My Friend
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."

Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.

***********************MISSION COMPLETE**************************
Posted for Buddy Palla, WV RC:
Once again, PGR members showed their true patriotic colors by honoring SMSgt Thomas Clute and his service to our country.
The family requested PGR flag lines at the funeral home and cemetery, and also requested we provide escort service from the funeral home to the cemetery.
A PGR plaque was presented to the family at the funeral home, for which they were most grateful.
The 130th Airlift Wing of the West Virginia Air National Guard provided full military honors,
with a PGR flag line as a backdrop.
We were honored to have Major General Allen Tackett, Adjutant General for the State of West
Virginia, come by our flag line and personally thank each PGR member for being there.
Participants on this mission were Renee Coleman, Don Rucker, Bob "T-bone" Smith, Dave Shaffer, Ron Young, Joe Cumblidge, and Buddy Palla. I would like to personally thank two other participants who traveled a long distance to honor Tom Clute. Thanks to Groundhog who came from Ohio, and Jim "Borlo" Borling who came from Virginia.
The Marmet Police Department provided local escort service, and the WV State Police provided escort service for the entire route, from the funeral home to the cemetery. We thank them for their assistance.
This mission had special significance for me; Tom was a member of my unit (130AW).
