Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Johnny F. McClaren,Thanks for being one of our heroes. 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."

| I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the family and friends of this American Hero who stood tall for their 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. I want you to 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. 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. |

I am humbled by the turnout we had for this mission.
I have new respect for those that deal with this on a regular basis.
To all of you that gave of your time, your help, your advice, your support, to give this Soldier and his loved ones the Honor and Respect that they so richly deserved,
THANK YOU !
I hope that it is within my power to be there for you when needed.
To that guy in Kansas that loaded up 100 flags and was headed for Tulsa,
I wish you lived a lot closer! Thank You anyway! God Bless!
To the guy that stopped the briefing to say 'You all are great! Thank you for what you are doing.'
Well shucks, Thank you, Sir!
To the Star family that showed, You will never know how much it meant that you were there.
And to the Family of E6 Johnny F. McClaren most of all, THANK YOU for allowing us the honor of being there to pay our respects even though it pales in comparison to what Johnny did and gave for us.
E6 Johnny F. McClaren, U.S.Navy Seal, Vietnam Veteran 3 times over and twice awarded the Purple Heart, Go with God, Sir! We are proud of You and your service with the United States Armed Forces.
YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN ! |
