THE WALL OF FACES

Lt Anderson was a TAC officer in my Infantry OCS class 50th Company at Ft Benning. He had a different platoon, as I had Lt Zieg as a Tact Officer. Lt Anderson was tough but fair with our preparation alway foremost in his mind. I respected him for that. RIP lieutenant, you served us and your country well

To My Dear Brother, As the years pass you are always on my mind and in my heart. Thank you for the life you gave to help made this world a safer place for your family and the United Sates. I will never forget the wonderful memories of us growing up together and my watching you grow up to be the fine man you were. You were loved and always will be. Love and Hugs, your sister Karen

Dear Lt Roger Anderson, Jr., Thank you for your service as an Infantry Unit Commander with the 1st Cavalry. Memorial Day is soon, and we honor and remember you. Please watch over America. It still needs your strength, courage, faithfulness and dedication. Rest in peace, and dance with the angels.

I met Roger when I transferred to Valparaiso my sophomore year. Roger took me under his wing and treated me like a brother. He then actually gave me the invitation to become a fraternity brother. I was stunned to learn of his death 2 years after the fact and wrote a letter to his parents. I later visited the wall, traced his name and could hardly walk away. I remember him every year at this time

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....
