THE WALL OF FACES

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a 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 awaken in the morning's 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.

Dear Sp4 Jasper Conway,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is 2018, Happy New Year. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Dear SP4 Jasper Ray Conway, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Jackie was my father's (James Earl Henderson) 1st Cousin and great friend growing up. He told me Jackie was a great kid and they truly enjoyed each other.
It was tragic for my father when he learned of Jackie's death.

James Earl Henderson was Etta Mae Henderson's son. Etta and Norwood (Jackie's father) were siblings.

I'm doing some family history now and would love to know more about Jackie. I was thrilled to learn he was a hero - awarded the bronze star for bravery.

God bless those who have sacrificed so much for our freedoms! Thank you Jackie for doing your duty with such grace and dignity. I look forward to meeting you some day.
