THE WALL OF FACES

I served in the recon platoon with Charles. I remember him as a good person. I was wounded the day before he died in another ambush. I will never forget him

It's been 52 years and I still think of you everyday, Always Love You, Cathy

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....

Sergeant Charles Fredrick Armentrout, Served with the Reconnaissance Platoon, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.
