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 sun 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.

As long as you are remembered you will never truly die....

Private First Class Mark Anthony Anderson, Served with the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division.

DEAR PFC ANDERSON,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MEDICAL NCO WITH THE 12TH CAVALRY, 1ST CAVALRY. THANK YOU FOR THE LIVES YOU SAVED. I HAD A FRIEND WHOSE BROTHER SERVED IN THE SAME UNIT. I HOPE YOU GREETED HIM IN PARADISE. REST IN PEACE.

Dear PFC Mark Anthony Anderson, 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, Sir

Curt Carter

Thinking of Mark's family, sharing their sorrow, which I know only too well.

To the family, I've emailed Bob Ahles to make the corrections on the veteran's site. I hope this will show up promptly.

I am Sgt Lynn Hiebert's sister, Larae. Prayers for you and your families.
