THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service and your loyalty to this country. Thank you for all your work and for helping make the America we have today.

I remember Scott in Melrose High School. We did many things together. I saw him when he was going to Viet Nam. This was 50 years ago and CS I still think of him

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 die....

DEAR CORPORAL ANDRESEN.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMY GRUNT WITH THE 1ST CAVALRY. A FRIEND HAD A BROTHER WHO WAS 1ST CAV, I HOPE YOU GREETED HIM IN HEAVEN. IT IS THE 9/11 WEEKEND WHEN WE HONOR THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES, IT IS A GOOD TIME TO HONOR YOU TOO. REST IN PEACE.

Our Families became pregnant about the same time. They knew each other thru Church. Scott and I met there and became best friends. He lived around the block from me and we always played together, School and Church. I moved away at the age of 9 but he was my First Best Friend. Our families kept in touch, just what was going on. Not meeting up as this was when his Mom was sick. I saw him once when I was about 11. It was like we had never been separated. I was in training for Special Forces when he was killed.
