The family of CPL Elmer W. Brown, 89, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to Honor him for his service to this Nation. Elmer served with the United States Army with the Aviation Engineers during World War II from Feb 1942 to Oct 1945.
We will escort Elmer from Hoover-Hall Memorial Chapel, 900 N. Main St, Monmouth, IL to Alexis United Presbyterian Church, 500 E Hunt Ave, Alexis, IL where services will be held. This will be an escort of about 15 miles. There will be a visitation starting at 9:00am followed by the funeral service which starts at 10:30am.
At the conclusion of the Visitation and Funeral Services we will escort Elmer to his final resting place in Alexis Cemetery. This will be a very short escort as the cemetery is adjacent to the church.
Staging Location: Beck's Express at the NW corner of the intersection of Routes 34 & 67 in Monmouth, IL
Staging Time: 7:15am - 7:45am, Monday 30 Mar 09
KSU: 7:50am
RC/Support: Tom Godfrey

I was that which others did not want to be, I went where others feared to go,
And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those that gave nothing And reluctantly accepted the thought of
Eternal loneliness … should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, Felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, felt pain, and hoped…
But most of all, I have lived times others would say are best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Elmer W. Brown, Army WWII 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, Elmer.
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.

You have done so much for this country and now you have gone on to heaven, and now you are serving the LORD Jesus Christ in his Army in Heaven.

'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.
