| My deepest sympathy goes out to all the family and friends of Spc. Karen N. Clifton. You will be in my prayers and I will try to be there for support at the funeral on Saturday. |

I am the wife of a Marine veteran. I stand by him with honor and respect.
Humbled to serve My Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by doing whatever I can to show others the love of God by spreading the Gospel!!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 It's not about "religion", it's about a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Savior. Do you know Jesus personally??
He suffered and died for all of our sins and is offering the gift of eternal life. Please accept Him and you will receive his gift.
True Love is sacrificial giving...... not just good intentions!!
Photo memories from missions we have done -- www.pgrmemoriesbymerlene.shutterfly.com -- I pray they will bring honor and comfort to those who need it. |

| My prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends of Spc. Karen Clifton. I had hoped to make this mission, but there is another one just up the street from my house on the same time schedule. Those who can make this mission, ride safe, and give this fallen warrior all of the honor and respect that she has so courageously earned. |

New member here - just moved from Decatur, IL to Arizona in March of this year. Thanks for being a part of this for Karen and her family.
Karen and family - I saw the rain this in the video and the pictures on the newspaper website this morning of the PGR's with the long procession behind you and could only think that the rain was made up of all of our tears. Stand tall and proud. You will be missed by many. |

Saturday, I'll be leaving Springfield at 10:30 from the Shell Station on Clearlake (off I-55) if anyone wants to come along. Bring a kick plate for the grass!
This could be dual objective mission.

Body of Army Cpl. Karen N. Clifton makes final journey home to Mount Zion
Photo gallery shows more of those there to show there support. I was very proud of my hometown for their turnout and support. I also couldn't agree more with the final lines in the article: "I think it's important to honor all of our
troops," Ward said. "No matter how they got hurt and got killed, we
need to bring them all home this way, with honor. Alive or dead, they
need to have this."
God Bless.

My condolences to Karen's family and friends. The flag at the bank in Westmont will be lowered to half staff in her honor on Saturday 6-30-07. I am taking the rest of today off to go to Mount Zion and stand for her. Thank you Karen for standing up for me and protecting the freedoms we all still enjoy.
Ride safe PGR.

Mission completed with a tremendous turnout. 100 bikes plus support vehicles and several cages came to honor Spc Karen Clifton and her family. It was a hot, muggy day. Our best wishes to Chris Brumley who suffered heat exhaustion and to Max who reluctantly had to stand down due to not feeling well. Thanks to all who endured the heat to honor Karen. Thanks to all thw ride and road captains who assisted with this mission.
