THE WALL OF FACES

Second Lieutenant Richard Ted Armstrong, Served with the Headquarters and Service Company, 3rd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

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....

I've heard so much about Mr. Armstrong from his brother-in-law, Joe Warlick. I've met Mr. Armstrong's wife, children and grandchildren. His wife is gone to meet him in Heaven. His children are the picture of their father...and I see resemblance of him in his grandchildren. God bless this whole wonderful family and I, truly, appreciate the sacrifice he made for me and the USA.

DEAR LIEUTENANT ARMSTRONG,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE FIELD ARTILLERY OPERATIONS MAN. ARTILLERYMEN WILL ALWAYS HAVE MY HEART. SEMPER FI AND REST IN PEACE.
