The family of Spc Carlos E. Wilcox IV has requested the MN Patriot Guard to help in honoring their American Hero. Spc Wilcox died July 16th along with two of his comrades all from Minnesota. There will be two parts to this mission one on Thursday morning July 23rd and on Friday morning July 24th.
Thursday morning July 23rd
We will have a flagline set up at Holman Field and a flagline set up at the funeral home in Cottage Grove.
I would request that if you live near Cottage Grove you stand the flagline at the funeral home for his arrival and if you live nearest Holman Field you stand the flagline there. This way we can hopefully have good presence in both locations for Spc. Carlos E. Wilcox IV. There will not be eough time to ride from one staging area to the other so please go to the one that you live closest to.

Each and every breath of fresh air that we take for granted is made possible because of the sacrifices of heroes like SPC Carlos Wilcox. Our most sincere condolences are sent from our Douglasville Georgia home to the family and friends of this American Hero. It is because of his willingness serve in harms way that allow us to live free. He served as a defender of our freedom, may he now rest in peace with God, his mission is complete.
We pray that the Lord above lay his healing hands on the family of this Hero and comfort them during this emotional time. Give them the strength to carry on while remembering their fallen Hero evermore.

| It is with heartfelt regret and sympathy for the family of U.S. Army SPC Carlos E. Wilcox IV, that I submit these few words of condolence. And as an old soldier and MP, I offer my respect and honor to Carlos for his courageous service as a member of the Army National Guard of Minnesota. My heart is filled with regret at the thought of the loss of this young man and his comrades, when they were yet in the morning of their lives, with so much yet to do and accomplish. May he and they rest in eternal peace in the presence of God and all who have gone before. I pray to my Source of Strength that all whose hearts are in anguish will be soothed by many acts of love and compassion. May they find their pathway through the coming days lined by guardian angels; and may they come to understand that eternal love will be a source of strength and solace. |

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Carlos.
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.
