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 truly die....

Corporal Bobby Joe Ard, Served with Company M, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, 3rd Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

DEAR CORPORAL ARD,
I HOPE SOMEONE WILL POST YOUR PHOTO BECAUSE A WALL OF FACES NEEDS YOUR FACE. THANK YOU FOR BEING A MACHINE GUNNER. I WAS BORN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY! SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE,
