My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Eddie Livingston. And God said "Welcome Home". Stand down your tour is done.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rain fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

It will be an honor to assist with the escort of this amazing American Hero as it travels through Georgia on the 27th. We owe Eddie a measure of gratitude that will likely never be able to be fully repaid. Our condolances go out to all of Eddie's family and close friends. God bless Eddie Livingston and all of our heroic WWII veterans for the untold sacrifices they made for our freedom and liberty.

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!

| My condolences to the family of Eddie Livingston. Bike's going in the shop tomorrow, but I will be waiting at exit 63 in Duncan, SC, at 0830, to ride with Eddie for at least 23 miles, to exit 40, where the bike shop is. Bike's got a gremlin that comes and goes. If it stays gone, I'll ride further. Does anyone know if the escort will be flying PGR colors? |

On May 13, I was asked by Eddie's niece to carry Eddie's wallet and favorite hat on the Southern Route of our Run For The Wall, from California to Washington, DC. Eddie's ashes were traveling on the Central Route, but his niece wanted something to be on the Southern Route also. I was humbled and brought to tears standing at the main entrance to our host hotel.
Eddie was Airborne, and a Pathfinder: I was Airborne and riding on the Advance Team. There seemed to be a poetic connection.
For the next ten days, Eddie's belongings were carried by the Southern Route Advance Team through heat, rain, and hail as we made our way across this great nation via CA, AZ, NM, TX, LA, MS, AL, TN, VA and finally into DC. On one leg we carried the package in the Missing Man Formation.
Each member that carried that precious package entered notes on our itinerary for Eddie's niece....and most left a token of their trip to Honor Eddie's heroism, and for his niece to remember us by
We will always keep Eddie in our hearts and minds.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Eddie Livingston,Thanks 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.Words is not enough to say what a lot of us want to say.Rest in peace my friend,rest in peace.
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."
