Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of LCDR (ret) Joseph Priestly, USN, WWII/Korean and Vietnam War Veteran. 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, Joseph.
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 sincere condolences to the family and friends of LCDR (RET) Joseph Priestly USN. It seems so small to say THANK YOU to such a fine Hero of so many conflicts. |

'No Greater Love is this that a man is willing to lay down his life for another.' Only two men were willing to sacrifice their lives for us-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Neither of which can ever fully be repaid.
Thank you for your Service and my Freedoms. Your sacrifices will never go unnoticed. I am grateful to live in a country made up of volunteers like you. Your choice to protect our Nation and put your self on the line can never be repaid.

| I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to LCDR Joseph Priestly for his service to our country. Over the years, many have chosen to stay at home during wars/conflicts, but it’s the “warriors” who make the difference…the ones who give of themselves, the ones who give up time with family and loved ones…yes, they are the ones who will always be remembered as the true heroes. May God give an extra measure of strength and comfort to the family and loved ones of Mr. Priestly at this most difficult time. Thank you for your service, Sir, I salute you! |

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Tuesday morning started out cool and foggy as 12 Patriot Guard Riders met for the escort for LCDR Joseph Priestly from Martinsburg, WV to his final resting place at Arlington.
The 97 mile escort went very smooth and traffic was light going into the DC area. We were met by 2 more riders at ANC and other joined us at graveside. The WV State Captain and myself presented the plaque to Mrs. Priestly before the services at Ft. Myers. At that time she told us she was thankful that her husband wasn't alone on his last ride, that we were there with him.
After the service the family and friends came down the honor line, shook our hands and thanked us for being there.
Thank you to all the members who attended this mission, this was the first mission for 5 of our riders.
Thank you Sid and Chris of the ANC team for all that you do. I thank all of you who were able to come out for this mission.
