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.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

I never knew bob cragin. My knowledge of what he did for our country lies only in a few pieces of paper I found while helping clean out my neighbors house. But the words on those papers describe a greatness on a level not seen often especially 50 years later when people seem to only worry about things like how many friends they have on their social media accounts. Hopefully this picture comes out big enough so that you can know And respect this man as I now do for the great service he did his country and his fellow soldiers.

Lt Robert S Cragin, Jr was awarded posthumously the Silver Star, the Bronze Star (Merit) and the Purple Heart.
