MSG Blackman,
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.

| I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends in this very sad time in your lives. 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. We 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. I thank you for 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. |

First I want to thank the Blackman Family for allowing us to be apart of this day with them.
Next despite the rain this morning we had a big turn out of bikes and cages.
I would like to thank Fire and Ice for not only coming out to honor this American hero with us but to also escort the family from Clinton and for being a huge help with traffic control.
Thanks goes out to Alan for helping me keep things straight and remembering to make calls.
Thanks to our new members for coming out and thanks to Wayne and Mindy Skelton for providing us with the Mazzio's pizza as we waited outside the church in Madison.
As I stood at the cemetery I could not help but remember what Trog told me a year and half ago "They do not get any easier with time". A family member had walked up and said to Thank you and suggested that we had no idea the feeling that comes from seeing us out there. Then he asked me if we show up to all military funerals? What do you say other then to answer him with a simple statement of "to any we are invited to render honors"
There are so many thoughts that goes on with every member after a mission. It is sometimes hard to express in words. I am sure I have forgotten to thank some one, I am sure I am neglecting to mention something important.
With that said I wish to report MISSION COMPLETE. |
