THE WALL OF FACES

Lance Corporal Gerald Anthony Demunda, Served with Company I, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

YOU LIVED ACROSS THE STREET WE PLAYED BASEBALL AT THE 24TH STREET STADIUM LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DID YOU GOT BETTER AND BETTER. I WENT IN THE MARINES FIRST YOU FOLLOWED LATER. RIP AND SEMPER FI JERRY. IT MUST BE TRUE "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG"!! CPL JIM Z

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.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace LCPL. Demunda, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family. Semper Fidelis!

Dear Lcpl Gerald Demunda,
Thank you for your service as a Machine Gunner. Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. It has been too long, and it's about time 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.
