Roger's body is scheduled to return tonight around 11:30 p.m and travel from CVG to Deer Park.
A visitation will be held tomorrow night from six until nine o'clock at the Deer Park High School.
A graveside service will be held a Rose Hill cemetery with full military honors.
Sgt. 1st Class Gregory S. Rogers. Soldier, father...American.
Enjoy your lives brothers and sisters. Savor life and live it well. He paid the bill.
May God bless him and his family.
"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them...nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them!"

RIP, SFC Gregory S. Rogers.
Paid in full, no IOU
Paid in blood for liberty
I say to them all, thank you
It is why we are still free
A salute to a hero, I give
One life, so many can still live
An American hero is now at rest
His soul is truly among the blessed
May GOD salute you.
Exactly right and very well said -
God Bless Sgt. 1st Class Gregory S. Rogers and his family.
