I am deeply saddened to report the passing of retired Col. Allan R. Bacon Jr. The family has requested the Patriot Guard Riders to escort and stand in Honor of this Hero.
Mr. Bacon served 30 years as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring as a Colonel in 2002. He was a distinguished rifle and pistol shot and a member of the President's Hundred. He was a commercial pilot and an instrument rated flight instructor, a disaster services volunteer for the Red Cross, and an avid amateur radio operator, call sign W6GBG.
Mission details:
Friday, 03 Jul 09, We will meet at Laughlin Service Funeral Home, 2320 Bob Wallace Ave SW, Huntsville, AL, 35805 at 7:30 AM and escort Mr. Bacon to
Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 12901 Bailey Cove Road, Huntsville.
Visitation and service
Aldersgate United Methodist Church
12901 Bailey Cove Road, Huntsville, AL
Visitation from 9:30-11:00, with the service at 11:00.

Thank you for my freedom Col Bacon. May you rest in peace.
“Some people’s lives can truly make a difference however long or short their lives on earth. They give the gifts of kindness and of caring. They sow the seeds of friendship and self-worth. Some people’s lives are beautiful examples of putting others first, and when they are gone, the lives of those they touched are so much richer, and the love they shared lives on and on.” |

| It was an honor to stand in COL Bacon's Flag Line and participate in this, my first, PGR mission. This was one of the most humbling experiences I've had since retiring from the US Army in 2005. Thanks, Dave, and everyone else for providing the highest Honor and Respect for a Marine who served his country well. |
