THE WALL OF FACES

May his sacrifice not be forgotten.

Rest in peace with the warriors.

Richard is buried at St Mary Magdalen Cemetery, Abbeville, Vermillion Parish, LA.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters.

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 hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

My name is Cassi Fever and I attend Gridley High School in Gridley Illinois. I am sending this remembrance as part of a posting project that our teacher has assigned us. I would like to thank you for what you have done for America and the Americans that you fought for. I understand that you fought for what you believed in and I appreciate and admire you greatly. Thank You and God Bless
