Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of John Swenson, Veteran, US Army. 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, John.
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. |

It was a very cool, windy day when we stood for Army Veteran John Swenson. The church parking lot was filled to capacity, including the 10 PGR bikes. We had 11 PGR total, coming from; Alexandria, Bemidji, St. Cloud, Breckenridge, Rollag, Fergus Falls, Morris, and Red Lake Falls. All in attendence did the rest of us Proud, just as John Swenson had, in his service to his/our country. Rest in peace John, your mission is complete. You have done your part to ensure our freedom. Thank You.
