do not stand at my grave and weep
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....
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 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....

Final Mission of SP4 Carl T. Anthony
The following is a personal recollection of SP4 Anthony: “I was tight with three guys killed on March 21, 1967: SP4 Joseph Champion (“Champ”), SP4 Hayzell C. Turner (“Turner”) and SP4 Carl T. Anthony (“Amp”). Turner and Amp were like brothers and Turner had a lisp and could not pronounce the "th" in Anthony, it came out “Ampony,” hence the nickname "Amp". I understand that they found Turner's (a black guy from Mississippi) body draped over Amp's (a white guy from Louisiana). I was medevacked out of the field about March 15, 1967, I got hit on the head with a concussion grenade in the battle of March 12th, when I got to the hospital they found out I also had malaria and God spared me almost assuredly being killed on the 21st, as I was with the 3rd platoon.” (Narrative by Jim Harris) SP4 Turner’s Bronze Star citation - Specialist Four Turner distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on March 21, 1967, while serving with as a Fire Team Leader in the 3rd Platoon of C,2/35th Infantry, during a search and destroy operation. When his platoon became engaged with a numerically superior NVA force, Specialist Four Turner with complete disregard for his own safety, moved through the intense hostile fire, positioning his men. It was during this brilliant display of leadership that he was fatally wounded. Specialist Four Turner's gallant actions and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
