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 always be with us.
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.

Final Mission of PFC Leeverne R. Achoe
Operation Nevada Eagle was a security operation in Thua Thien Province, RVN, from May 17, 1968 to February 28, 1969. The mission objectives were to protect the city of Hue and surrounding districts. At 7:30 AM on June 16, 1968, Company B, 2/327th Infantry, while conducting a reconnaissance in force twelve miles southwest of Hue, engaged an unknown number of North Vietnamese Army (NVA) in fortified bunkers. A ferocious firefight erupted which lasted until 4:30 PM after which the enemy broke contact. During the battle, artillery and close air support was directed upon the enemy positions. Nine Americans were killed, and six others were wounded. The lost Skytroopers included PFC Leeverne R. Achoe, PFC Alan R. Duke, SSG Ned T. Dybvig, PFC Carl W. Holler, PFC Paul L. Joyner, PFC Freddie L. McNeil, PFC Michiel D. Murray, PFC Stephen B. Owen, and PFC Charles V. Vasquez Jr. Enemy losses were twenty-seven killed and twenty-one captured, including a 122mm rocket launcher. Several posthumous promotions occurred after the action. Duke, Holler, Joyner, McNeil, Murray, Owen, and Vasquez were posthumously promoted to Corporal. [Taken from
