THE WALL OF FACES

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. 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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

I have not forgotten you. I chair the Adoption Committee for The National League of Families of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in Southeast Asia. We will always remember the 1,889 Americans still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia and the thousands of others that lost their lives. We will not stop our efforts until all of you are home where you belong.

We need to reach the next generation so that they will carry on when our generation is no longer able. To do so, we are attempting to locate photographs of all the missing. If you are reading this remembrance and have a photo and/or memory of this missing American that you would like to share for our project, please contact me at:

I ran across the forward air controllers tribute and then looked up good old Johnnie C.in the yearbook from Vance AFB, Class 67B. I had noted on Johnnie's page,"B-52,Amarillo AFB." It didn't take Johnnie long to get out of the buffs and into the FAC business. I'm sure that he gave a good account of himself. God bless Johnnie C., the quiet, no sweat Aggie who gave his life because Freedom is not free.

I have worn it since 1993 and I won't take it off until you come home. Peace be with you and your loved ones.
