THE WALL OF FACES

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace WO. Ellingson, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

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 sunlight 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.

Warrant Officer James Earl Ellingson, Served with the 175th Assault Helicopter Company, 13th Aviation Battalion, 164th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.
