Please sign the guestbook of a Marine veteran who has passed away.

[NikkiUSA]

Mr. Joe Dugan was one of the greatest Marines that I know and I am very honored to say that I have known him since I first began what I do for our troops, our veterans and our POW/MIA's, six years now. He passed away on Saturday from cancer and another voice for our veterans has been silenced. Here is a wonderful write up that was in our paper: http://www.pittsburghpostgazette.com/pg/05122/497661.stm

And a beautiful tribute that is on the Soldiers and Sailors Hall site (make sure you see his portrait on there):

I would also like to ask everyone if they would take a minute to sign Mr. Dugan's guestbook. He has children that are younger than me and I know that it would mean so much to them.

I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I am going to the funeral home tomorrow and I would love to be able to tell his children to check the guestbook, so they will know that we really do live in a grateful nation. Mr. Dugan, was a great man and one proud Marine.
I hope you will take a minute to sign his guestbook!! Thanks again,

Done! Thank you for the link.

Mr. Dugan, I know your "welcome home" was glorious...



If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes,
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

Not a bother, this former Army dog will, hopefully, come up with something appropriate and thoughtful.

Psalm 23
for Joseph Dugan Jr., a Marine veteran
of Vietnam and the Persian Gulf
1.   The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.

2.   He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3.   He restoreth my soul;
he leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his name's sake.

4.   Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.

5.   Thou preparest a table before me in the
presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup Runneth over.

6.   Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of
the Lord for ever.

God Bless

Soldier rest, Gently pressed,
To the calm, Mother Earth's
Waiting breast;
Duty done, Like the sun:
Going West.

The Mansions of the Lord
Click the picture for music

To fallen soldiers let us sing

Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing

Our broken brothers let us bring

To the Mansions of the Lord

No more bleeding, no more fight

No prayers pleading through the night

Just divine embrace, eternal light

To the Mansions of the Lord.

Where no mothers cry and no children weep

We will stand and guard though the angels sleep

Through the ages safely keep

The Mansions of the Lord.

 

 

 

Thank you Mr. Dugan.
May you rest in a warrior's peace.

[Ditto]

Bump for a very good man.

May the greatest Marine of all time, LTG Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller be there to greet Mr Dugan upon his arrival into Heaven.

I salute him for doing what he did. It allows me to do what I do now.
