I salute Daniel for his double duty. He served his country in uniform, then served again as a shield for others in the PGR family. What greater dedication can be shown for the welfare and protection of others!!
Ride on brother, for you have earned an eternal shield for service to your fellow man. God must have needed a rider, and would only accept the best.
Our prayers are with the family of Mr. Defoe. Be proud, and wear your pride loudly. |

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Daniel M. DeFoe, Vietnam Veteran/PGR Member. 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, Daniel.
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 factors of time, distance, and weather, prevent my attendence at the Honor Mission for Daniel; but they cannot diminish my respect for this man, nor my concern for those who mourn his loss.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
