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 never die...

DEAR SERGEANT ANTRIM,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE FIELD ARTILLERY CANNONEER, ARTILLERYMEN WILL ALWAYS HOLD MY HEART. SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.

I was 11 years old when my mom took my sister,Julie and me out of school and we headed for Oneida Iowa-
.We had just received info that Tommy was killed.We left immediately thinking Tommy would be getting home any day.I remember watching my grandma and mom watching Walter Cronkite every night thinking they might catch a glimpse of Tommy on the news.They kept thinking there must be a mistake,this is taking too long.Then I remember the day,2-3 weeks later a car pulled up.I was playing up on the railroad tracks and 2 fully dressed Marines got out of the car.I knew then all hope of my Uncle being alive was for not.I will never forget the wailing my Uncles fiance made when the 3 gun salute went off at the funeral.I'm saddened today that I didnt get to know my Uncle Tommy had he lived.Im so proud to know that a member of my family fought and died for our freedom.God bless all of you that have served our country.If anybody that reads this that knew Tommy,please get in touch with me.Thanks
