Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of TSgt William Elvis SwanVeteran. 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, William.
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. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of TSgt.William Elvis SwanThanks for being one of our greatest 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."
Paul E. Babb Sr.
Riding loud and proud......But standing tall and silent...........for the American Hero.

It is with a heavy heart that I pass on my condolences to you and your family. Your loved one will not be forgotten. Our brothers-at-arms will continue the good fight until we bring all our people home. Fellow Veteran, 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. My prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss.
Vaya con Dios Mi Hermano!

Just returned home from the service for 1st Sgt Swan. Family was very appreciative and ride Capt. did an excellent job (as always). Now his family can begin a new life and know that their beloved relative is at peace. I counted approx 20 PGR units involved. LEO was very cooperative.
Respectfully; Joe Harrell, North Central Ark Ride Co-Captain |

MISSION COMPLET: TSgt William Elvis Swan, 49, Clinton, AR
After Standing proudly in Honor of TSgt Swan during the time of visitation and the funeral service, seventeen bikes and to cages escorted William to his final resting place at Morganton cemetery. My PGR brothers and Sisters once again stood tall with a flag line while many Family members and friends said their last good bye to this loved one.
A special thanks to Tina and Mark for mission support having flags and cold water available at all times.
I also would like to thank Roller-Mcnutt funeral home for their willingness to work with the PGR and help us to complete our mission. Also a big Thank You to the Clinton police Dept. and the Sheriffs Dept. for their support.
