Dennis was a Classmate of mine in Army Flight School and was one of the Thirty-Three we lost out of that Class. We honor their memories by remembering them and keeping them and their loved ones in our Prayers. We are blessed to have such Men as they who live among us. My life's greatest honor is to have been allowed to serve in the US Military with Men such as Dennis.

Hand Salute! See you at the Green!

It is with great respect and gratitude that I am honored to be reading Dennis C Ackerman's name on November 9, 2022, at the 40th Anniversary of The Reading of The Names at The Wall in DC. My brother Richard Sablotny was also KIA 10/27/1968 and was from Bedford Ohio. He served the Army 3/60th 9th Infantry. Honoring our men/women who served unselfishly and gave the ultimate sacrifice is the least we can do. I strive to ALWAYS REMEMBER, ALWAYS LOVE and NEVER FORGET those we lost so young. My prayers and love are with your family!

I will always be grateful for the time we had together at Dong Ba Thin and will always value our friendship. It was an honor to know you.
God speed

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....
