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.

William....Honoring you on your birthday...You will never be forgotten....
God bless

Dear Cpl William Daley,
Thank you for your service as a Huey, UH-1 Helicopter Repairer with the 1st Cavalry. Today is Palm Sunday. Easter is coming up. Happy Easter. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

On December 3, 1967 this aircraft from Bravo Troop, 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Division was on a reconnaissance mission marking targets when it came under small arms (AK-47) fire. The attack caused the helicopter to crash and burn, destroying the aircraft. Both the pilot, 1LT William S. Cutter, and observer, PFC William M. Daley, suffered fatal wounds in the attack.

Dear CPL William Michael Daley, sir


As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for the ultimate sacrifice that you 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. And please know that men and women like you have stepped forward to defend our country yet again, showing the same love for country and their fellow Americans that you did- you would be proud.

With respect, and the best salute that a civilian can muster for you.

Curt Carter
