Cayenne 6 Final Extraction

It is with profound sadness that I inform you of Sgt Bob Morris' passing on March 26th, 2016.

        Bob Morris was born April 12, 1950 in Monterey, California to James Franklin Morris and Marilyn Drost Morris. He served in the United States Marine Corps from July 1969 until September 1972 including the year that he spent as team leader with the 1st Recon Division while in Viet Nam, obtaining the rank of Sergeant. He was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star with Valor, two Navy Commendation Medals with Valor, the Republic of Viet Nam Campaign Medal, the Viet Nam Service Medal, and a Combat Action Ribbon.

        Bob, known to many as “Cayenne 6”, along with his wife Julie, was devoted to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion Association and his Recon teammates. He served as the Membership Coordinator and Web Master from the earliest days of the Association and always gave freely of his time and talent. Bob worked tirelessly to reunite 1st Recon teammates and bring them together in the Association. Cayenne 6 leaves a void that will never be filled. We are blessed to have known Bob and stood with him, side by side, in war and peace.

        A graveside service was held in Temple, Tx earlier this month where the Colors were presented to Julie by the Color Guard. A small group of family and friends were present and were grateful for the attendance of the Patriot Guard.

        "I believe God put me through the first cancer to turn me around and get me ready for this time. He put me in a spiritual position to accept and welcome a new life. Julie and I have had a great relationship...God gave us 22 years and that I am so thankful for...My concern is not seeing the streets of gold or mansions. I want to see My Savior and live in a body without pain." Bob Morris 11/3/15

Go in peace and remember

you are not forgotten

while I am still on patrol. 

EULOGY FOR A VETERAN

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there I do not sleep,
I am the thousand winds that Blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
When you waken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
