If I could, I would, put on my orange uniform of BARC one last time, as it was a symbol of the legacy of the Organisation and all of those who served before me… all with a singular purpose and passion for the sport. If
I could, I would, walk to my assigned station and survey the course to make sure
it would absolutely safe for drivers using the course… for safety for others
was always paramount in my mind. If
I could, I would, share the camaraderie with the other marshals as we truly
shared a vision and objective for the day… regardless of the weather and
situation at hand. If
I could, I would, I would walk my section of the course one last time and recall
the many courses and turns I have walked… with clear eyes to make sure I did
not miss a thing, as safety and the love of the sport came first. If
I could, I would, feel the sights, smells and sounds of the race- cars flying by
and never losing my focus of the day. If
I could, I would, salute back to the drivers for a job well done one last time
…for the salute back was to know that I had done my job well… as well. If
I could, I would, raise the flag one last time and I did not realize that my
checkered flag unfurled high in the sky would touch the face of God… and he
was ‘flagging’ me home as well." E.T. Nagamatsu - Old Yeller II

"If
I could, I would, attend my last meeting of marshals in the morning to receive
my last instructions of the day.
