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 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 always be with us....

Private First Class Gerald Douglas Anthony, Served with the 2nd Platoon, H Troop, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 198th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I was so young and he was too ! I never understood why he could not come home ! He was a great person who loved his family. As a little girl I remember his love for his nieces and nephews . My brother always looked up to him . I always thought he was the best ! His family lost a great person but he wanted to fight for his country ! Too young to Die But He Did IT For All Us . I understand now .

Thank you for protecting our country. I have learned about the Vietnam War in my 5th Grade class. Thank you for giving up your life for us.

DEAR PFC ANTHONY,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS AN ARMY ARMOR RECONNAISSANCE SPECIALIST. REST IN PEACE.
