The info for the staging and times will be posted later today, but we wanted to give as much of a heads up for the Airport Escort from Corvallis, Oregon to Dallas, Oregon on Monday, July 16 in the morning. The funeral services for this K9 team will be on Wednesday, July 18 in Dallas Oregon. Cemetery Services to follow with full military honors times two!

Thanks for what you do, after all it is the right thing that we do, no matter how difficult it is for us, it does not compare to what the family is going through!

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cpl. Kory D. Wiens. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always. He will never be forgotten.

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


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.
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.

Our deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Cpl Kory Wiens. Another son of Oregon lost while preserving our freedom. Young enough to be our son, brave enough to enlist, caring enough to do the job and sacrificing the ultimate sacrifice. Your love of country and family will not be forgotten. You aged beyond your years to make it safe for others. May your family find comfort in the thoughts and memories of strangers through this most difficult time.

We are standing by in Portland until you reach your final rest.
