THE WALL OF FACES

Private First Class Donald Edward Angerman, Served with Company G, 2nd Battalion, 27th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

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....

Thank you for your service to our great country my brother. Semper Fi

My father, (Rudy Castro Sr) served alongside Donald and was with him that fateful day. Not a day goes by that my father doesn't think of Donald and his family. I am hopeful he will visit the Wall and come to peace with the atrocities of war and have closure some 51 years later. Thank you Donald for your service.

I was Don’s college roommate. He was a kind and gentle man and will always be remembered.
