==============================
When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden

This young man joined the service, of his own free will knowing that he would quite possibly be put in harm's way. And yet he signed on the dotted line. For you. For me. For America and all it stands for.
I will ride in his honor today. Rain or shine. He gave his all for us and this is the very least I can do for him now.
Adam, I never knew you in life but I will never forget you.
Rest now Brave Soldier and thank you,
Primo |

Just a headsup for those who have not left yet for this ride, there are two Carls Jr. at that location. One on the north side of the 60, and one on the south. The itinerary says the south side one.

Mission Complete. I would like to thank all PGR members who showed up to pay their respects to Spc. Adam Rosema.
We had a total of 40 personnal, including three first timers.
32 bikes, and 4 cages.
The weather nice & cool and the chapel was just a short uphill walk to gravesite. I almost didnt make it, I guess I am getting old.
Thanks go out to Primo for his help in putting this mission together. Pop-pop for his calling to orders & Paddy for stepping up to head the road guards for our ride from meeting place to Rose Hills.
The reasons we as RC's can do our job and make these missions successful, is because of all of you. It's you my brothers and sisters, who get us through each and every mission.
God Bless you all
Brothers Forever

thank you for the excellent organization on this ride. It helps ease the strain to know the missions are going to be run as well as possible, given the circumstances. Thanks again. Hope all made it home safely. |

Thanks everyone for including me on this mission. This was my first one and everyone made me feel very welcome. Thanks to Tom for offering a watchful eye and help on the drive over to the chapel. Hope everyone arrived home safely.

PGR Friends:
Whether you like it or not, you are now part of our family. As sad as it was to lay our son to rest, it was a huge help to have you folks there to help give him an extremely honorable send-off. We received quite a few nice comments back at the church reception afterwards about you.
We cannot say 'thank-you' enough. Words cannot express our gratitude.
Take care and may God Bless.

Rest in peace, son. We love you! |

It was indeed our honor Mr. & Mrs. Stephens.
Our only regret is that we never got to meet your Adam. It sounds like he was something special.
Candy and the rest of the troops of the PGR, thank you all for a wonderful mission.
May God Bless and keep Adam and may his family cherish his memory until they are with him again.

Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, thank you for allowing us to honor Adam. It was truly a humbling experience. I feel good that God has one more Guardian Angel He can count on to continue to protect this great country. Thank you for the sacrifice you and Adam have made and are making for the freedom of us all.
To Primo and Candyman and all the other PGR riders, thank you for welcoming me into your ranks. It is a deep honor I feel proud of. Looking forward to riding with you all again.
God bless America and our Military! |

The family has a website for Adam that will contain photos from Adam's service. There are a few photos there now, and many more will be added in the future.

| Rest in peace, Spc Rosema; thank you for your service and sacrifice-you will be remembered always as a true American hero. To Adam's family, I offer my prayers and support. I lost my son in Iraq last year and I understand a little of what you are dealing with. I hope wonderful memories of your dear Adam will help eventually ease the pain you endure today. Adam leaves a legacy of courage and honor that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

Thank you for your service and sacrifice in defending and protecting our freedoms. As a nation we mourn your loss, and we will remember you always as a true American hero. To the family, I offer my prayers and support. I understand a little of what you are going through-my son, a Marine LCpl, was killed in Iraq. I pray wonderful memories of your dear warrior help eventually to ease the pain you endure today. Your hero will never be forgotten-he leaves a legacy of honor and courage that few will ever achieve. God bless you. Julie Francis, Matt's Mom |

| Believe me when I say the honor is all mine. The price of freedom is staggering. The price of routing out terrorism is an additional costs we must all bear to protect that freedom. For that I am in your debt along with our entire great nation. I stand as a civilian Patriot with my brothers and sisters as an expression of our gratitude and pride to be an American, and to show my undying support in the fight against oppression and terrorism. God bless you! |
