Rest your head
Oh weary son
Your watch on earth
Now is done
In a land far away
you went to war
To keep the evil
From our shore
Staying on course
Always standing tall
Protecting our land
You gave your all
Blessed are those
That battle for right
For GOD has said
You are HEROS in HIS sight
Your honor and pride
Stood tall all the way
And now you have come
To the end of your day
Your watch is over
PGR will take it from here
With all the respect
We stand for so dear
You will ride in our hearts
Down the FLAG filled road
Thank you, BRAVE WARRIOR
You carried our load
Protecting us all
By both day and night
Never once flinching
In the heat of the fight
As we ride for you now
Our hearts filled with sorrow
Never to forget you
For all of the tomorrows
When the bugle plays TAPS
And the rifles will sound
Our hearts will be heavy
Our tears on the ground
You will be missed
By ones never met
You are our HERO
We will never forget
His memory must not fade
His sacrifice must never dim
We are still free
Because of HEROS like him
GOD BLESS OUR MIGHTY AND VIGILANT MILITARY. SECOND TO NONE. BECAUSE OF THEM WE ARE STILL FREE.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Cpt. Timothy I. McGovern. 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, Timothy.
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.

Another Mother asked President W. Wilson, "Why did my Child have to die on the battlefield of France ?" Yet another Mother asked President Lincoln,"Why did my Child have to die at Gettysburg ?" And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same. One died to save our Souls and the others died to protect our Freedoms. |

We pray that you will now rest peacefully in the arms of God. May He provide peace, comfort, and understanding to each life you touched.

America, Home of the Free BECAUSE of the BRAVE!
The following poem was written by my Great-Grandmother during WWII. Three of my Great-Uncles served in the Air Corps:
Three stars I hold before me
Three service stars of blue
Elmer first, then our Bill,
And now Jerome went too.
They are all in the Air Corps,
These flying sons of mine,
Wives and mothers all must wait,
Until they serve their time.
They meant three loving sons to me,
Though they weren’t really mine,
God only loaned them to me
To help them serve their time.
But home was really happy,
For each loved each, you see–
Til I loaned them to this our land,
As God loaned them to me.
They’re safe in His keeping,
He loves them just as dear,
As I could ever love them,
Were I to have them here.
And when the whole world honors,
The God who is kind and true,
I’ll take my sons and give them back–
Three service stars of blue.
~ Viola Schmidt, 1943 ~
