Once again God saw the road was getting rough, and the road of life had become too hard to for CSM Eugene Bowman, to travel and called him home. You remind us, Lord, through Solomon that to everything there is a season. We thank You for the earthly life You gave to this sergeant major and for the blessing during the sojourn here on the earth. We most especially thank You for the new life You granted this sergeant major in Jesus Christ. He broke the bonds of death by His resurrection. We rejoice at the hope of being reunited with him in the resurrection of all flesh. The NCO Corps thanks him for his selfless service act and his willingness to defend of America and all that we hold sacred. I believe for every fallen sergeant major like him there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift God has given the Corps.

Bowman Family
My loyal friend (Eugene) will be missed. Being a friend is a choice. I chose him but Incan hear him saying he chose me. Forty-five years of friendship that never waver, what an investment and the dividends paid are eternal. As a Masonic Brother we were linked together by an indissoluble chain of sincere affection. On this basis we form our friendships and establish our connections. Rest on my brother. MSG (R) Wright
