The family of Lorne (Bud) Hahn, United States Marine Corp World War II veteran has invited the Patriot Guard Guard Riders to stand in silent honor of their loved one and hero at services for him in Lakeland and Bushnell, Florida on Friday, September 5th. Mr Hahn served our great nation in the Pacific theater and was an Iwo Jima veteran where he was awarded the Silver Star. After Mr Han retired he volunteered at the VA hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. He became the top volunteer giving many hours of us own time to fellow veterans. As a personal project, he began making heart shaped pillows for the cardiac patients at the hospital. Bud Hahn did not hesitate to stand for us in some of the bloodiest fighting of World War II; let us now stand for him
Please bring your 3' X 5' American flags and honor this hero.

Thank you for my freedom Mr Hahn. May you rest in peace.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lorne (Bud) Hahn, USMC, 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, Lorne.
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.

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."
Paul E. Babb Sr.
