The family of Brian Leslie Clemons, United States Navy, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to stand in silent respect of their hero during interment services for him at the Florida National Cemetery. Brian is a veteran of the Persian Gulf War and Operation Just Cause in Panama. He saved the lives of many other servicemen (downed pilots in the Gulf). He was also a fellow motorcycle enthusiast going by the road name of "Bear".
Brian did not hesitate to stand for this country and put his life on the line for others. It is now our turn to stand for him.
This mission will be a flag line only at the Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, Florida.
Wednesday, March 26th
Florida National Cemetery
6502 SW 102nd Ave
Bushnell, FL 33513
Staging location: Visitors Center, Florida National Cemetery
Staging begins: 1:45 PM
Mission brief: 2:15 PM
Flag line: 2:20 PM
Service begins: 2:30 PM

Brian, thank you for your service, your sacrifice, your daring and caring during your short tour here on Earth. Stand easy, we have the watch now.
You will not be forgotten, especially by the people you rescued. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Brian Leslie Clemons, US Navy Combat Veteran, Gulf War and Panama. 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, Brian.
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.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |

Thank-you all in advance for your support in the ride. And thanks so much for all your kind words.
Yes, Brian "Bear" was a strong, courageous and compassionate man--also, a very funny guy.
I could go on and on . . . . Suffice it to say that he is being buried in a Harley shirt, jeans and his Harley riding boots--just as he likes it.
Because of his service, he had become quite ill and suffered terribly. Now, he can rest and prepare for the next battle. . . .
Thank-you !!!!!
