THE WALL OF FACES

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Private First Class Michael Edward Davis, Served with Company C, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

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.

Dear PFC Michael Davis,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. We are celebrating our holy days. It is a time of joy, and may that be yours in heaven. 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.

You were taken the day I was born. As a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran, I say thank you. I was taught by my father to live every day worthy of the men who gave their lives so that we can live free. Thank you.
