This is a Confirmed ANC Mission!
========================
William Aumen, age 76, CW3, 23 year US Army veteran of Korea and Vietnam is to be laid to his final Hero's rest on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) on 31 December, 2009 at approximately 0900 hours from the ANC Administration Building.
His loving wife, Joy, has asked PGR to attend those services and we will be there -- standing tall, silent and proud for this American Hero of past wars.
William was the recipient of the Bronze Star and one of the first ever to receive the Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal Insignia. Mr. Aumen was very active in the American Legion Post 10, Manassas VA, where he served as Commander for three consecutive years.
Mission planning is underway and the plan will be published here upon completion.

I will be happy to share stories about Bill, and Luke, when we all meet on December 31. He was an extraordinary character who retired from the Army after they would not promise that he could return to Vietnam for a 4th tour if he signed on for more service. I heard him say more than once that he wished he could go over to Iraq so help out with those "God damned IEDs." He is missed at Post 10, and Veterans Day, which was also his birthday, will not be the same without him there.
I thank you all for the honor you pay to Bill and will ensure that Joy and his kids are able to read your thoughts. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of William Martin Aumen ,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."

CW3 (Ret) Aumen,
Thank you for your willingness to defend the United States of America and her freedoms and interests. Your death brings much sorrow and sadness to the hearts and lives of your family, friends, military brothers and sisters, each and every member of the Patriot Guard Riders, and all who truly appreciate their freedom. We are proud of your service and dedication in that which you believed in and fought for. Your mission is complete. You are truly an American hero and the world in which we live is a safer place because of your commitment to freedom. We will now proudly stand for you with honor, dignity, and respect. We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

My deepest sympathy go out to the family and friends of William Martin Aumen. Thank you sir for your services to this country. Rest in peace your job is done. May God Bless your family and friends at this time and in the future.
GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN
Gone but never forgotten
I feel you in the wind,
As it gently brushes my face.
You are in the air I breathe,
With every breath I take.
You are in the music I hear,
Each and every day.
You are in the sea shell,
As I hear it roar.
You are with me
every step of the way.
Gone but never forgotten
Your memory lives on
in the songs of the birds.
You are in my heart,
body and soul,
With every step I take,
You are with me
all along the way.
Gone but never forgotten.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of William Martin Aumen, CW3 USA (ret) Korea & Vietnam. Your service and sacrifices will not be forgotten. Thank you for protecting the freedom of our country. You will always be remembered as a "TRUE AMERICAN HERO". Rest easy, Soldier.
To those I love and to those who loved me:
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part
So, bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
All my love around you soft and clear
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say,
"Welcome Home"

Thank you is just not enough; remember that only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you; Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. One chose to die for your soul, the other for your freedom!
