It is Saturday afternoon at 1330 and I have just gotten off the phone with the CAO. The CAO will be meeting with the family again tomorrow and will present our request to provide our services for SPC. Gonzalez's family. It is still very early in the process, so plans are still coming together. I will provide updates as they become available.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SPC. Michael L. Gonzalez. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Michael.
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.

My deepest condolences to the family, fellow soldiers, and friends of SPC Gonzalez. My hope for you is to have some consolation knowing he died a soldier, in service to our country, and for what he believed in. He will surely be honored above by those that have gone before him.

As I get ready to write to you, the words fall away as almost meaningless because of the pain I know you feel. I know, because I have felt that pain.
Know that you are NOT alone on this difficult path. Others are there to help you: reach out and embrace them, for they are offering not only themselves, but sharing with you that little bit of the Almighty that resides in all of us. This offering/sharing is what WILL give you the strength you will need to get thru. Trust me.
Any service related death, on or off duty, whether accident or illness, wounds received or KIA, warrant the Gold Star for the family. Don't let anyone tell you different.
I offer you my services, such as they are. If you want to talk, feel free to get in touch with me thru the PGR messaging. I WILL return your call/message. ANYTIME!
In the meantime know that my wife's and my prayers are with you.

*******************MAJOR MISSION UPDATE*************************
I just got off the phone with the CAO for SPC. Micheal L. Gonzalez. This mission will be run on Saturday morning, 06 SEP 08. The family has requested a flag line at the Memorial Service for SPC. Gonzalez, cremation will follow, and then on Wednesday, 10 SEP 08, his ashes will be interred in Arlington National Cemetery. This will be a two part mission. Part one will be a flag line during the viewing on Friday, 05 Sep 08. Part two will consist of a flag line and a possible escort of the family to the Memorial Services site on Saturday AM.
This mission will consist of a flag line at the viewing on Friday, 05 Sep 08 at the Brunswick Memorial Funeral Home located at 454 Cranbury Road, East Brunswick, NJ. The viewing will be on Friday from 1600 to 2000. All riders are asked to report directly to the funeral home for the setting of the flag line. I will be attending the viewing on Friday afternoon at the funeral home.
The local services for SPC. Gonzalez will be held Saturday morning at the Spotswood Reformed Church, 250 Crescent Avenue, Spotswood, NJ, at 1100. The Staging area for Saturday's mission as well as the timing of the mission will be finalized tomorrow after I speak to the funeral director and the family and LEO. Riders are encouraged to check back frequently with the mission thread for further updates. Also, weather may be a factor so please check this thread frequently.
Staging information
Final staging information for the second part of this mission on Saturday morning will be posted as it becomes available. Ride itineraries will also be provided as soon as possible.
