ALCON,
Cpl. William "Billy" Warford will arrive at Robert Gray Army Airfield on Fort Hood at 1100 hours, Wednesday, 12 September 2007.
The accompanyment for Cpl. Warford will be from Fort Hood (Clark Gate) to Adams Funeral Home (129 Coleman Street) in Marlin, Texas. The Clark Road Gate to Fort Hood is located on US Hwy 190 between Killeen and Copperas Cove.
Staging at Fort Hood for the Airport/Funeral Home accompanyment will be at the Clark Road parking lot starting at 1030 hours on 12 September 2007. It is approximately 75 miles from the Clark Road Gate to Marlin, Texas.
Lead RC will be Sonny Albert
Asst RC will be Steve "Scout" Cole
His memorial service will be held at Adams Funeral Home, 129 Coleman Street, Marlin, Texas at 1500 hours on Saturday, 15 September 2007 with interment being held at Clover Hill Cemetery in Lott, Texas following the memorial service.
Marlin Staging will be from 1215-1315 hours at Drews Meat Market. Drews Meat Market is on the Left side as you get on Bussiness 6 South off of Hwy 6. If you have any problems call Snake at 254-709-3201.
Waco Staging will be from 1030-1130 hours at Flying J on New Road (Exit 331 off IH-35).
Killeen Staging will be from 1000-1100 at Kay's Motorcycle Mania in Nolanville, Texas
Mission briefing will be held at the Marlin Staging site from 1300-1315 hours. Please arrive at the staging site prior to the mission brief.
The plan is to have a flag line established at Adams Funeral Home NLT 1330 hours for the arrival of the family at the funeral home.
An advance party will depart Adams Funeral Home for Clover Hill Cemetery under the direction of Asst. RC Dennis "Sweet T" Christain to prepare the cemetery for the arrival of Cpl. Warford and his family.
Flags and water will be available at both the funeral home and cemetery. However, please bring at least one bottle of water with you for each rider on your bike/cage and include your rain gear.
Snake has met the Warford family, and they are over excited about the PGR being there and were even asking how many PGR would be at the funeral. We hope that if you can see any way to make this ride for the Family and this Hero please do so. I have seen the deep sorrow of this loss and the thrill of the Patriot Guard Riders being there for this Soldier. With that said be safe, may God be with Cpl William Warford and his Family.
We would greatly appreciate flags on bikes/cages for the procession on Saturday as well as the accompanyment on Wednesday. We will not have water available for the accompanyment ride on Wednesday due to the nature of the mission.
Lead RC will be Mike "Snake" Watson
Asst RC will be Dennis "Steet T" Christian

My thoughts and prayers are with Cpl. William T Warford III, his family, and friends.
Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice for each of us and our nation.
May the wings of your angel hold you firmly.
God Bless.
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall softly on your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

| I would like convey my deepest condolences to the family and friends of this American hero who stood tall for their homeland. I know this is a very sad time in your lives but remember you knew a hero first hand the rest of us just get to hear about them. Please know that your loved one is now serving in the Army of our Lord and Savior in heaven and the Lord said if I go to prepare a place for you,and if I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and recieve you unto myself that where I am there you may be also. Know that it says in the Bible in 2nd Corinthians 5:8 ,We are confident I say, willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. I pray that our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST will bring all of you comfort for we know it is us left behind here on earth that suffer, for our loved ones are in HEAVEN with GOD and he will not allow them to suffer again as they have paid the ultimate price so as to allow us left here to enjoy the freedom we have here in America.No one can ever say that your loved one isn't a hero they were willing to serve when so many aren't or feel that they don't want to. I would like you to know that not just me but a country full of Americans are free because of the sacrifice they made in the name of freedom. May God Bless each and everyone of you |
