Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Manual B. Palacio ,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.
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."

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of
Manual B. Palacio, USN, 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, Manual.
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.

" The Greatest Generation "
Honor, Courage , Commitment
To his loving , family and friends of United States Navy WWII Veteran Manual B. aka "Pops" Palacio, 87, San Gabriel, California. Thank you " Sailor " for your selfless courage, love and service to the U.S. Navy and to the Greatest Nation in the world with your service in the " Mighty Endeavor" . Thank you for defending the freedoms and liberties of this great nation we call America and answering the call to duty "to preserve … our civilization and to set free a suffering humanity." We will not forget the sacrifices you made to protect our freedom and way of life. Thank you for expertise as a coxson for American landing craft and being that special breed of man of America's Greatest Generation........ We will not forget the sacrifice you made to protect our freedoms and watch our backs .You are the true light of this country, you are the glue that binds us ,you are our angel of freedom and our wings of protection. To the family my prayers go out to you, I pray that his soul is at peace and that his Courage and Bravery and will be rewarded in heaven as it will be remembered here on earth. I pray that you will always carry the knowledge that " Pops " is a True American Hero and he will not be forgotten . During this difficult time I know you will draw upon your own strength and the strength of loved ones that hold you in their thoughts. Remember this country is filled with people who care about you and are thinking about you in this difficult time of sorrow...Your loss is our loss and resonates through the Patriot Guard Riders. We want to have the touch that brings you comfort,the strength that gives you courage,and the words to lighten your spirits. May the presence of the Patriot Guard Riders weave love and strength into your hearts to ease your pain of this "American Hero". I hope that time and memories will help lesson the burden of your sorrow and that you may draw some measure of comfort knowing that others care and share in your loss." "Bravo Zulu Boatswain Mate Palacio..... God Bless the U.S. Navy and all of the men and women who protect our country and defend our freedom. Standing For Those Who Stood For US........E Pluribus Unum..........One Cause One Mission ...... Respect.........................Fair Winds And Following Seas......... Standing in Spirit to Honor this "American Hero " In Pembroke Ma
A powerful Navy we have always regarded as our proper and natural means of defense; and it has always been of defense that we have thought, never of aggression or of conquest. But who shall tell us now what sort of Navy to build? We shall take leave to be strong upon the seas, in the future as in the past; and there will be no thought of offense or provocation in that. Our ships are our natural bulwarks.
Love...The Patriot Guard Riders

14 motorcycles and a cage answered the call to honor USN WWII vet Manual Palacio. We formed a flag line as he was loaded into the funeral car and escorted him the 20 miles to Forest Lawn to his final resting place where Military Honors were rendered. Thanks to all who came and thanks to Willie for taking over for me as r/c as I have what my doctor is calling an upper respitorary infection whatever that is but it seems that I cough allot and feel mostly like crap. RIP USN WWII hero. We will always appreciate the sacrifices your generation made for our fantastic way of life. To Gil and Rosie, we are so sorry for your loss and hope our little contribution will help in your healing process . . .
